1. Nature of Business
Life360, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading technology platform used to locate the people, pets and things that matter most to families. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2007. The Company’s core offering, the Life360 mobile application, includes features that range from communications to driving safety and location sharing. The Company operates under a “freemium” model where its core offering is available to users at no charge, with three membership subscription options that are available but not required. The Company also generates revenue through monetization arrangements with certain commercial third parties (“Data Revenue Partners”) through Lead Generation and license agreements (including aggregated insights into the data collected from the Company’s user base). On September 1, 2021, the Company acquired all ownership interests of Jio, Inc (“Jiobit”). Jiobit is a provider of wearable location devices for young children, pets, and seniors. On January 5, 2022, the Company acquired all ownership interests of Tile, Inc. (“Tile”). Tile is a smart location company whose products include a Bluetooth enabled device and related accessories that work in tandem with the Tile application to enable its customers to locate lost or misplaced objects.
On January 12, 2023, the Company announced a workforce restructure which resulted in a reduction of the Company’s workforce of approximately 14 %. The Company incurred $0.2 million and $4.0 million in non-recurring personnel and severance related expenses in connection with the restructure during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, all expenses incurred had been paid.
The restructuring costs are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as follows (in thousands):

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Included below are select significant accounting policies. Refer to Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023 for a full list of our significant accounting policies.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations.
8
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue, and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates, judgments, and assumptions include:
•revenue recognition, including the determination of selling prices for distinct performance obligations sold in multiple performance obligation arrangements, the period over which revenue is recognized for certain arrangements, and estimated delivery dates for orders with title transfer upon delivery;
•allowances for credit losses and product returns;
•promotional and marketing allowances;
•inventory valuation;
•average useful customer life;
•valuation of stock-based awards;
•legal contingencies;
•impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill;
•valuation of contingent consideration, convertible notes and embedded derivatives;
•useful lives of long-lived assets; and
•income taxes including valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.
Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers
The Company depends on the constant real-time performance, reliability and availability of its technology system and access to its partner’s networks. The Company primarily relies on a single technology partner for its cloud platform and a limited number of contract manufacturers to assemble components of the Jiobit and Tile hardware tracking devices. Any adverse impacts to the platform and the contract manufacturers could negatively impact the Company’s relationships with its partners or users and may adversely impact its business, financial performance, and reputation.

Restricted Cash
Deposits of $1.8 million and $14.9 million were restricted from withdrawal as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In April 2023, the Company released and paid $13.1 million of restricted cash which was previously held in indemnity escrow as part of the acquisition of Tile in January 2022 (the “Tile Acquisition”) for general representations and warranties, fifteen months after the acquisition date.

3. Segment and Geographic Revenue
The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its chief executive officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. All material long-lived assets are based in the United States.
Revenue by geographic region is generally based on the address of the customer as defined in the contract with the customer. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic region for the periods presented (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | 2023 | 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| North America | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Europe, Middle East and Africa | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Other international regions | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
4. Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists primarily of payments received and accounts receivable recorded in advance of revenue recognition under the Company’s subscription service arrangements and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria is met. The Company primarily invoices its customers for its subscription services arrangements in advance. Amounts anticipated to be recognized within one year of the balance sheet date are recorded as deferred revenue, current; the remaining portion is recorded as deferred revenue, noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $3.5 million and $23.4 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $2.0 million and $13.2 million, respectively, that was included in deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2021.
Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of contracted future revenue not yet recognized as the amounts relate to undelivered performance obligations, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.
Revenue expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations was $35.0 million as of September 30, 2023, of which the Company expects $33.7 million to be recognized over the next twelve months .
5. Costs Capitalized to Obtain Contracts
The Company recognizes as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the entity expects to recover those costs. The Company determined that its costs to obtain contracts were both direct and incremental. These costs are attributable to the Company’s largest channel partners.
Costs of obtaining new revenue contracts are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the related period of benefit, which is three years two years to three years depending on the subscription type for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets at fair value each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels of inputs which may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Valuations based on unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology and including data about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
The Company measures and reports certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis.
The fair value of these assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are classified as follows (in thousands):

7. Business Combinations
Tile, Inc.
On January 5, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Tile, Inc. (“Tile”), a privately held consumer electronics company. The company is based in San Mateo, California and was founded in 2012. Tile is a smart location company whose products include a Bluetooth enabled device and related accessories that work in tandem with the Tile application, to enable its customers to locate lost or misplaced objects. Tile offers a comprehensive list of products to use with the Tile application, along with optional subscription services to enhance features offered for Tile products. The addition of Tile is expected to strengthen and extend Life360’s market leadership position by leveraging Tile’s developed technology and customer relationships to accelerate the Company’s own product development and augment the Life360 team with a critical mass of talent. The aggregate purchase consideration was $173.5 million, of which $158.1 million was paid in cash and $15.4 million paid in equity. The $15.4 million in equity was comprised of 780,593 shares of the Company’s common stock valued on the date of acquisition and 534,465 shares of common stock contingent consideration which was promised upon reaching certain operational goals. Of the consideration transferred, $14.1 million in cash and 84,524 common shares were placed in an indemnity escrow fund to be held for fifteen months after the acquisition date for general representations and warranties and were released during April 2023.
A total of $35.0 million was excluded from purchase consideration which consisted of retention compensation of 1,499,349 shares of restricted stock units valued at $29.6 million, $0.4 million related to 38,730 vested common stock options issued to Tile employees as stock-based compensation on the acquisition date and change in control bonuses of $3.0 million, which were recognized as compensation expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations on the acquisition date. The Company incurred transaction related expenses of $1.7 million, which were recorded under general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remaining costs excluded from purchase consideration related to 1,561 shares granted to a key employee and vest based on continued employment, and 4,784 shares of contingent consideration granted to a key employee, which also vest based on continued employment.
Of the 1,499,349 shares of retention restricted stock units, 787,446 shares valued at $15.6 million contained performance vesting criteria based on the achievement of certain company milestones, and vest over a two year period. The remaining retention restricted stock units of 711,903 shares vest over a to four year period. In March 2022, it was determined that the performance criteria was not met so the 787,446 shares of retention restricted stock units subject to performance vesting criteria were cancelled.
The contingent consideration was based on the Company’s achievement of certain targets for revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company determined that the criteria to satisfy the contingent consideration were not met, and as such, no value was ascribed to the contingent consideration.

Leases
The Company leases office space under various non-cancelable operating leases with remaining lease terms of up to 3.0 years, some of which include the option to extend the lease. In May 2023, the Company amended its lease agreement for its headquarter office space located in San Mateo, California. The amendment extended the lease term to November 2026, reduced the Company’s leased office space and reduced the monthly lease payments. As a result, the associated right-of-use asset and lease liability were remeasured and the right-of-use asset and lease liability increased by $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, upon the remeasurement date.
The Company did not have any finance leases as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

9. Convertible Notes
July 2021 Convertible Notes
In July 2021, the Company issued convertible notes (“July 2021 Convertible Notes”) to investors with an underlying principal amount of $2.1 million. The July 2021 Convertible Notes accrue simple interest at an annual rate of 4 % and mature on July 1, 2026. The July 2021 Convertible Notes may be settled under the following scenarios at the option of the holder: (i) at any time into common shares equal to the conversion amount of outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest divided by the conversion price of $11.96 ; (ii) at the option of the holder upon a liquidation event a) paid in cash equal to the outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest or b) into common shares equal to the conversion amount of outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest divided by the conversion price of $11.96 ; or (iii) upon maturity, settlement in cash at the outstanding accrued interest and principal amount.
Certain conversion and redemption features of the July 2021 Convertible Notes were determined to not be clearly and closely associated with the risk of the debt-type host instrument and were required to be separately accounted for as derivative financial instruments. The Company bifurcated these embedded conversion and redemption (“embedded derivatives”) features and classified these as liabilities measured at fair value. The fair value of the derivative liability of $0.7 million was recorded separate from the July 2021 Convertible Notes with an offsetting amount recorded as a debt discount. The debt discount is amortized over the estimated life of the debt using the straight-line method, as the value attributable to the July 2021 Convertible Notes was zero upon issuance.
As of September 30, 2023 the unamortized amount and net carrying value of the July 2021 Convertible Notes is $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The amount by which the July 2021 Convertible Notes if-converted value exceeds its principal is $0.7 million as of September 30, 2023.
As of December 31, 2022 the unamortized amount and net carrying value of the July 2021 Convertible Notes was $1.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The amount by which the July 2021 Convertible Notes if-converted value does not exceed its principal was $0.4 million as of December 31, 2022.
In connection with the July 2021 Convertible Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 88,213 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and a term of one year (Warrant Tranche 1), 44,106 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $11.96 per share and a term of 5 years (Warrant Tranche 2), and 44,106 shares of the Company’s common stock which is exercisable starting twelve months from the issuance date with an exercise price of $11.96 per share and a term of 5 years (Warrant Tranche 3).
The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method, with the following assumptions:
| Warrants Tranche 1 | Warrants Tranche 2 | Warrants Tranche 3 | |||||||||||||||
| Fair market value of common stock | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
| Expected dividend yield | % | % | % | ||||||||||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | % | % | ||||||||||||||
| Expected volatility | % | % | % | ||||||||||||||
| Expected term (in years) | |||||||||||||||||
The warrants were recorded to additional paid-in capital during the year ended December 31, 2021. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the July 2021 Convertible Notes was $0.8 million and was recorded as a debt discount that is being amortized to interest expense under the straight-line method over the term of respective convertible notes.
As a result of the beneficial conversion feature associated with the July 2021 Convertible Notes, $0.6 million was added to additional paid-in capital during the year ended December 31, 2021. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense under the straight-line method over the term of the respective notes.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company recognized a total of $0.1 0.3
20
September 2021 Convertible Notes
In September 2021, the Company, in connection with the Jiobit Acquisition, issued $11.6 million representing the fair value of convertible notes (the “September 2021 Convertible Notes”) and $1.6 million of revesting convertible notes (“Revesting Notes”) that vest over time. The September 2021 Convertible Notes can be converted to common stock at any time subsequent to the acquisition at a fixed conversion price of $22.50 per share. On each of the first three annual anniversaries of the issuance date of the September 2021 Convertible Notes, the Company will repay 1/3rd of the unconverted principal plus accrued interest to the holders of such notes. Upon a change of control, the holder may elect to either convert at the fixed conversion price of $22.50 per share or be repaid in full. The Company has elected the fair value option and will remeasure the September 2021 Convertible Notes at their fair value on each reporting date and reflect the changes in fair value in earnings. The estimated fair value of the September 2021 Convertible Notes is determined using a combination of the present value of the cash flows and the Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions as follows:
| As of September 30, | As of December 31, | As of September 1, | |||||||||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||||||||
| Principal | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
| Interest rate | % | % | % | ||||||||||||||

| Risk-free interest rate | % | % | % | ||||||||||||||
| Time to exercise (in years) | |||||||||||||||||
| Volatility | % | % | % | ||||||||||||||
| Annual dividend yield | % | % | % | ||||||||||||||
The Revesting Notes are restricted and vest with continuous employment of certain key employees over a 3-year period subsequent to the acquisition. The Revesting Notes are recognized in general and administrative expense. In April 2022, one of the key employees exited the Company, and so the entirety of their Revesting Notes were forfeited. The Company recorded a $0.3 million reduction in compensation expense included in general and administrative expense related to the forfeiture of their Revesting Notes. In January 2023, the other key employee exited the Company. As part of their separation agreement, their Revesting Notes are due in their entirety at the maturity date and the Company recorded $0.1 million of compensation expense included in general and administrative expense.
The Company records the Revesting Notes at fair value and will remeasure the Revesting Notes at fair value on each reporting date. As the Revesting Notes vest, the changes in fair value are recorded as general and administrative expense with a corresponding entry to convertibles notes. The estimated fair value of the Revesting Notes is determined using a combination of the present value of the Revesting Notes cash flows and the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The terms of the Revesting Notes are consistent with the terms of the September 2021 Convertible Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded zero and $0.1 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $13 thousand and $0.2 million, respectively, to compensation expense included in general and administrative expense related to the changes in fair value of the Revesting Notes.

10. Derivative Liability
The Company’s derivative liability represents embedded share-settled redemption features bifurcated from its July 2021 Convertible Notes and is carried at fair value. The changes in the fair value of the derivative liability are recorded in other income (expense), net of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, the Company’s income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
The features embedded in the July 2021 Convertible Notes are combined into one compound embedded derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative was estimated based on the present value of the redemption discount applied to the principal amount of the July 2021 Convertible Notes adjusted to reflect the weighted probability of exercise. The discount rate was based on the risk-free interest rate.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
The Company has certain commitments from outstanding purchase orders primarily related to technology support, marketing and branding and professional services. These agreements, which total $152.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and $138.9 million as of December 31, 2022, are predominantly non-cancellable and expected to be paid through 2027.
22
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made, and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. The Company is not subject to any current pending legal matters or claims that the Company believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Warranties and Indemnification
To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs and has not accrued any material liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of its warranty and indemnification obligations.
Litigation
Occasionally, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, claims and government investigations in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is inherently uncertain, though the Company intends to vigorously defend the matters. In making a determination regarding accruals, using available information, the Company evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings to which the Company is a party and records a loss contingency when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When the Company determines an unfavorable outcome is not probable or reasonably estimable the Company does not accrue for any potential litigation loss. Actual outcomes of these legal and regulatory proceedings may materially differ from the Company’s estimates.
On March 12, 2019, a former alleged competitor of Tile, Cellwitch, Inc, filed a patent infringement claim against Tile in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (“Court”), seeking permanent injunction and damages. On December 18, 2019, Tile filed an inter partes review petition with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) challenging the validity of the patent. On May 13, 2021, the PTAB issued a Final Written Decision on Tile’s inter partes review petition (the “Final Written Decision”), finding a majority of the claims invalid. The Final Written Decision was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on May 13, 2022. The case is currently in trial court and a settlement conference took place on June 6, 2023, however no conclusions were reached and we continue to actively defend against this claim.
A purported class action (E.S. v. Life360, Inc.) alleging a single cause of action for unjust enrichment was filed against Life360 on January 12, 2023, seeking equitable relief purportedly arising out of Life360’s historic data sales. Plaintiff dismissed these claims on November 3, 2023.
We are able to reasonably estimate the loss with regards to the E.S. v Life360, Inc. case. As a result, an immaterial litigation reserve has been recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023. No litigation reserve was recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022.

15. Income Taxes
The provision for (benefit from) income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-270, Income Taxes, Interim Reporting. The effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or de-recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax position, if any, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $0.2 million and a provision for income taxes of $0.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $73 thousand and $84 thousand, respectively.
In accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, research and experimental (R&E) expenses under Internal Revenue Code Section 174 are required to be capitalized beginning in 2022. R&E expenses are required to be amortized over a period of five years for domestic expenses and fifteen years for foreign expenses. The Company has capitalized R&E expenditures in its income tax provision as a result. Accordingly, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a state income tax benefit of $0.2 million and a state income tax expense of $0.2 million, respectively, primarily due to state conformity to Internal Revenue Code Section 174.
In accordance with ASC 805, a change in the acquirer’s valuation allowance that stems from a business combination should be recognized as an element of the acquirer’s income tax expense or benefit in the period of acquisition. Accordingly, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a provisional zero and $96 thousand partial release of its valuation allowance and a corresponding income tax benefit stemming from the Tile Acquisition, respectively. The benefit was offset by the state income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” under Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report.
Overview
Life360 is a leading technology platform used to locate the people, pets and things that matter most to families. Life360 is creating a new category at the intersection of family, technology, and safety to help keep families connected and safe. Our core offering, the Life360 mobile application, includes features that range from communications to driving safety and location sharing. The Life360 mobile application operates under a “freemium” model where its core offering is available to users at no charge, with three membership subscription options that are available but not required. Our platform recently entered a new era of location tracking services with the successful acquisitions of Jiobit and Tile. By offering devices and integrated software to members, we have expanded our addressable market to provide members of all ages with a vertically integrated, cross-platform solution of scale.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our results of operations are affected by a number of factors, such as: the ability to remain a trusted brand; attracting, retaining, and converting members; maintaining efficient member acquisition; the ability to attract new and repeat purchasers of our hardware tracking devices; growth in average revenue per paying circle; expanding offerings on our platform; attracting and retaining talent; seasonality; and international expansion. We discuss each of these factors in more detail under the heading “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. While we do not have control of all factors affecting our results from operations, we work diligently to influence and manage those factors which we can impact to enhance our results of operations.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Subscription Revenue
We generate revenue from sales of subscriptions on our platforms. Revenue is recognized ratably over the related contractual term generally beginning on the date that our platform is made available to a customer. Our subscription agreements typically have monthly or annual contractual terms. Our agreements are generally non-cancellable during the contract term. We typically bill in advance for monthly and annual contracts. Amounts that have been billed are initially recorded as deferred revenue until the revenue is recognized.
Hardware Revenue
We generate our hardware revenue from the sale of the Tile and Jiobit hardware tracking devices and related accessories. For hardware and accessories, revenue is recognized at the time products are delivered. We sell hardware tracking devices and accessories through a number of channels including our websites, brick and mortar retail and online retail.
Other Revenue
We also generate revenue through data monetization arrangements with certain third parties through data acquisition and license agreements for data collected from our member base for purposes of targeted advertising, research, analytics, attribution, and other commercial purposes. In January 2022, we executed a new partnership agreement with a key data partner, a prominent provider of aggregated analytics for the retail ecosystem. The agreement includes fixed monthly revenue amounts for access to aggregated data for the duration of the three-year agreement. Other revenue also includes partnership revenue.
28
Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin
Cost of Subscription Revenue
Cost of subscription revenue primarily consists of expenses related to hosting our services and providing support to our free and paying subscribers. These expenses include personnel-related costs associated with our cloud-based infrastructure and our customer support organization, third-party hosting fees, software, and maintenance costs, outside services associated with the delivery of our subscription services, amortization of acquired intangibles and allocated overhead, such as facilities, including rent, utilities, depreciation on equipment shared by all departments, credit card and transaction processing fees, and shared information technology costs. Personnel-related expenses include salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation for operations personnel.
We plan to continue increasing the capacity and enhancing the capability and reliability of our infrastructure to support user growth and increased use of our platform. We expect that cost of revenue will increase in absolute dollars in future periods.
Cost of Hardware Revenue
Cost of hardware revenue consists of product costs, including hardware production, contract manufacturers for production, shipping and handling, packaging, fulfillment, personnel-related expenses, manufacturing and equipment depreciation, warehousing, tariff costs, customer support costs, credit card and transaction processing fees, warranty replacement, and write-downs of excess and obsolete inventory. Personnel-related expenses include salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation for operations personnel.
Cost of Other Revenue
Cost of other revenue includes cloud-based hosting costs, as well as costs of product operations functions and personnel-related costs associated with our data platform. Personnel-related expenses include salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation for operations personnel.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Our gross profit has been, and may in the future be, influenced by several factors, including timing of capital expenditures and related depreciation expense, increases in infrastructure costs, component costs, contract manufacturing and supplier pricing, and foreign currency exchange rates. Gross profit and gross profit margin may fluctuate over time based on the factors described above.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of research and development, selling and marketing, and general and administrative expenses.
Research and Development
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for our engineering, product, and design teams, material costs of building and developing prototypes for new products, mobile app development and allocated overhead. We believe that continued investment in our platform is important for our growth. We expect our research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows.
Sales and Marketing
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, brand marketing costs, lead generation costs, sales incentives, sponsorships and amortization of acquired intangibles. Revenue-share payments to third parties in connection with annual subscription sales of the Company’s mobile application on third-party store platforms are considered to be incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and are deferred and typically amortized over an estimated period of benefit of two to three years depending on the subscription type.
29
We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing to grow our member base and increase our brand awareness, including marketing efforts to continue to drive our business model. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods and will fluctuate as a percentage of revenue. The trend and timing of sales and marketing expenses will depend in part on the timing of marketing campaigns.
General and Administrative
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for our legal, finance, human resources, and other administrative teams, as well as certain executives. In addition, general and administrative expenses include allocated overhead, outside legal, accounting and other professional fees, change in fair value of contingent consideration for business combinations, and non-income-based taxes. We expect our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows.
Convertible Notes Fair Value Adjustment
The Company issued convertible notes to investors in July 2021 (the “July 2021 Convertible Notes”), and as part of the purchase consideration related to the Jiobit Acquisition in September 2021 (the “September 2021 Convertible Notes” and together with the July 2021 Convertible Notes, the “Convertible Notes”). The September 2021 Convertible Notes are recorded at fair value and are revalued at each reporting period.
Derivative Liability Fair Value Adjustment
Derivative liability fair value adjustment relates to the change in the fair value of the embedded conversion and redemption features associated with the July 2021 Convertible Notes.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net consists of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents balances, foreign currency exchange (losses)/gains related to the remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary and foreign exchange transactions gains/(losses) and interest expense primarily related to the Convertible Notes.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes in jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our federal and state deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company also saw a decrease of $1.1 million in personnel-related costs and stock-based compensation costs attributable to the Company’s integration with Tile and the recategorization of the combined workforce. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $0.7 million in technology expenses, $0.4 million in contractor expenses, $0.3 million in professional and outside services, and $0.1 million in other facilities and related expenses associated with Company growth.
Subscription gross margin increased to 86% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 79% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the subscription price increases implemented by the Company during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2022 and a decrease in membership offering costs related to the discontinuation of certain battery related membership benefits.
Cost of hardware revenue increased by $1.8 million, or 7%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase of $4.7 million in product, freight and battery expenses in line with the increased number of units sold.

General and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 6%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a $5.3 million gain on revaluation of contingent consideration related to the Jiobit Acquisition recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, offset by a reduction of $3.4 million in professional and outside services associated with expenses related to accounting, legal and advisory services in connection with the Company’s Form 10 filing and the Tile Acquisition which took place during 2022 and a $0.3 million decrease in personnel-related costs and stock-based compensation primarily related to a reduction in headcount associated with the Company’s reduction in force which took place during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The remaining increase of $0.6 million relates to an increase in other expenses related to business growth.
Convertible Notes Fair Value Adjustment
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded losses associated with the convertible notes fair value adjustment of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a loss and a gain associated with the convertible notes fair value adjustment of $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The changes in fair value are primarily driven by the share price volatility and reduction in time to convert.
Derivative Liability Fair Value Adjustment
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a gain and a loss associated with the derivative liability fair value adjustment of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a loss and a gain associated with the derivative liability fair value adjustment of $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The changes are due to the revaluation of the derivative liability at each reporting period and are related to embedded redemption features bifurcated from the July 2021 Convertible Notes issued to investors.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net increased $0.1 million, or 26%, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Other income (expense), net increased $2.4 million, or 399%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was driven by an increase in dividend income earned due to a higher average gross yield and favorable currency revaluation impacts in the current periods compared to the same periods in the prior year. Other income (expense) includes interest income, dividend income, foreign exchange losses, and interest expense associated with the July 2021 Convertible Notes.

1 Metrics presented as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2022 have been recast to reflect the calculations under a revised metric definition. We previously calculated Subscriptions and Paying Circles by including subscribers who had been billed as well as whose billing status was pending as of the end of the period. We have since revised our definition of these metrics to exclude subscribers whose billing status was pending as of the end of the period. Although the difference between the two methodologies does not result in any material changes, we have changed the definition of the metric because we believe it provides a better reflection of our results during a given period.
2 Metrics presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are adjusted to include pre-acquisition data for Tile related to periods before the acquisition of Tile on January 5, 2022.
Annualized Monthly Revenue
We use Annualized Monthly Revenue (“AMR”) to identify the annualized monthly value of active customer agreements at the end of a reporting period. AMR includes the annualized monthly value of subscription, data and partnership agreements. All components of these agreements that are not expected to recur are excluded. AMR as of September 30, 2023, and 2022 was $259.1 million and $184.0 million, respectively, representing an increase of 41% year-over-year.
Monthly Active Users
We have a large and growing global member base as of September 30, 2023. A Life360 monthly active user (“MAU”) is defined as a unique user who engages with our Life360 branded services each month, which includes both paying and non-paying members. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had approximately 58.4 million and approximately 47.0 million MAUs on the Life360 Platform, respectively, representing an increase of 24% year-over-year. We believe this has been driven by continued strong new user growth and retention.
Paying Circles
We define a Paying Circle as a group of Life360 users with a paying subscription and who has been billed as of the end of period. Each subscription covers all members in the payor’s Circle so everyone in the Circle can utilize the benefits of a Life360 Membership, including access to premium location, driving, digital and emergency safety insights and services.
As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had approximately 1.7 million and 1.5 million paid subscribers to services under our Life360 brand, respectively, representing an increase of 17% year-over-year.
We grow the number of Paying Circles by increasing our free member base, converting free members to subscribers, and retaining them over time with the provision of high-quality family and safety services.

Average Revenue per Paying Circle
We define Average Revenue per Paying Circle (“ARPPC”) as subscription revenue derived from the Life360 mobile application, excluding certain revenue adjustments related to bundled Life360 subscription and hardware offerings, for the reported period divided by the Average Paying Circles during the same period. Average Paying Circles are calculated based on adding the number of Paying Circles as of the beginning of the period to the number of Paying Circles as of the end of the period, and then dividing by two.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, our ARPPC was $119.97 and $93.55, respectively, representing a 28% increase year-over year . For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, our ARPPC was $118.85 and $90.60, respectively, representing a 31% increase year-over-year.
ARPPC is a key indicator utilized by Life360 to determine the effective penetration of our tiered product offering for Paying Circles. The increase in pricing for new Paying Circles beginning in August 2022 has led to subscribers signing up for higher price products over time, increasing ARPPC.

Subscriptions
We define Subscriptions as the number of paying subscribers associated with the Life360, Tile and Jiobit brands who have been billed as of the end of the period.
As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had approximately 2.3 million and 2.1 million paid subscribers to services under the Life360, Tile, and Jiobit brands, respectively, representing an increase of 14% year-over-year.
We grow the number of Subscriptions by selling hardware units and increasing our free member base, converting free members to subscribers, and retaining them over time with the provision of item tracking and high-quality family and safety services.

Average Revenue per Paying Subscription
We define ARPPS as total subscription revenue recognized, excluding certain revenue adjustments related to bundled Life360 subscription and hardware offerings, for the reported period divided by the average number of paying subscribers during the same period. The average number of paying subscribers is calculated by adding the number of paying subscribers as of the beginning of the period to the number of paying subscribers as of the end of the period, and then dividing by two. Paying subscribers represent subscribers who have been billed as of the end of the period.
ARPPS for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $101.33 and $78.03, respectively, representing an increase of 30% year over year. ARPPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was $98.31 and $76.23, respectively, representing an increase of 29% year over year.
ARPPS has increased year over year as a result of the growth in subscriptions and subscription price increases implemented by the Company during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2022.

Net Hardware Units Shipped
Net hardware units shipped represents the number of tracking devices sold during a period, net of returns by our retail partners and directly to consumers. Selling units contributes to hardware revenue and ultimately increases the number of users eligible for a Tile or Jiobit subscription. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, Life360 sold approximately 1.1 million units, up approximately 43% as compared to the 0.7 million units sold during the three months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting a decreased number of returns in the current period and the backdrop of weaker consumer electronics category demand in the prior period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Life360 sold approximately 2.3 million units, up approximately 21% as compared to the 1.9 million units sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, also reflecting a decreased number of returns in the current period and the backdrop of weaker consumer electronics category demand in the prior period.
Net Average Sales Price
To determine the net ASP of a unit, we divide hardware revenue recognized, excluding certain revenue adjustments related to bundled Life360 subscription and hardware offerings, for the reported period by the number of net hardware units shipped (“ASP”) during the same period. ASP is largely driven by the price we charge customers, including the price we charge our retail partners, net of customer allowances, and directly to consumers. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the net ASP of a unit was $13.24, a decrease of 15% compared to $15.63 during the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the net ASP of a unit was $14.96, a slight decrease of 0.3% compared to $14.92 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Both changes reflect a change in product mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $61.8 million and restricted cash of $1.8 million. As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $75.4 million and restricted cash of $14.9 million.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by sales of our subscriptions and hardware devices will be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors and as a result, we may be required to seek additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On March 10, 2023, we had a banking relationship with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). As of the closure of SVB on March 10, 2023, we held $6.1 million in direct deposits with SVB, which represented approximately 6.4% of our total cash and cash equivalents as of that date. We also held $75.4 million in shares of money market mutual funds managed by other institutions for which SVB acted as custodian. SVB was closed on March 10, 2023 by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the FDIC as receiver. On March 12, 2023, the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC announced that SVB depositors would have access to all of their money starting March 13, 2023, and on March 13, 2023, we regained access to our funds held in SVB accounts. While we did not experience any losses in such accounts, the recent failure of SVB exposed us to credit risk prior to the completion by the FDIC of the resolution of SVB in a manner that fully protected all depositors. As of March 31, 2023, First Citizens BancShares’ had announced the acquisition of SVB’s assets and we have transferred a portion of our accounts to alternate depository institutions, the financial position of which management believes does not expose our Company to significant credit risk or jeopardize our liquidity. However, we may be impacted by adverse developments which affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties, other companies in the financial services industry, or the financial services industry generally, which have in the past and may in the future threaten our ability to access our existing cash and cash equivalents and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Operating Activities
Our largest sources of operating cash are cash collections from our paying users for subscriptions to our platform and hardware device sales. Our primary uses of cash for operating activities are for employee-related expenditures, costs to acquire inventory, costs to acquire customers, including user acquisition costs and commissions paid to channel partners, infrastructure-related costs, and other marketing expenses.
A number of our users pay in advance for annual subscriptions, while a majority pay in advance for monthly subscriptions. Deferred revenue consists of the unearned portion of customer billings, which is recognized as revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had deferred revenue of $35.0 million and $32.8 million, respectively, of which $33.7 million and $30.1 million is expected to be recorded as revenue in the next 12 months, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
41
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million. The primary factors affecting our operating cash flows during this period were our net loss of $25.0 million, impacted by $35.6 million of non-cash adjustments, and $12.0 million of cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and an adjustment to our battery reserve related to a change in membership benefit offerings. The cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to increases in accounts receivable, net, prepaid expenses and other assets, costs capitalized to obtain contracts, net, inventory, and accrued expenses and other liabilities offset by increases in deferred revenue and other liabilities, noncurrent.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $54.9 million. The primary factors affecting our operating cash flows during this period were our net loss of $79.3 million, impacted by $24.6 million of non-cash adjustments and $0.2 million of cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and a gain on revaluation of contingent consideration. The cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets offset by a decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million, which primarily relates to the capitalization of internal use software costs in accordance with ASC 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $114.1 million, which primarily related to cash paid for the Tile Acquisition, net of cash acquired.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used by financing activities was $24.0 million, which primarily relates to the release of funds placed in an indemnity escrow fund for general representations and warranties related to the Tile Acquisition, taxes paid for the net settlement of equity awards, and repayment of convertible notes offset by proceeds from the exercise of options and repayment of notes due from affiliates.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $3.5 million, which primarily related taxes paid for the net settlement of equity awards and repayment of convertible notes offset by proceeds from the exercise of options.
Obligations and Other Commitments
Our principal commitments consist of obligations under our convertible notes, operating leases for office space, and other purchase commitments. Our obligations under our convertible notes are described in Note 6, "Fair Value Measurements," and Note 9, "Convertible Notes" to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Information regarding our non-cancellable lease and other purchase commitments as of September 30, 2023, can be found in Note 8, "Balance Sheet Components," and Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies," to our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2023, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates made by our management. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $61.8 million and $75.4 million, respectively, of cash equivalents invested in cash and cash equivalents and money market funds. Our cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a hypothetical 10% relative change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our reporting currency and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The majority of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore our revenue is not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk. Our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, which is primarily in the United States. Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. To date, we have not entered into any active hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk or other derivative financial instruments, although we may choose to do so in the future. We do not believe that a hypothetical 1,000 basis-point increase or decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies would have a material effect on our operating results.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
Fair Value Risk
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $3.8 million and $7.0 million of liabilities that are measured at fair value, respectively. Fair value measurements include significant assumptions that are driven by market conditions and macroeconomic factors at measurement dates. Our consolidated results of operations are therefore subject to market fluctuations and may be affected in the future as a result of these fair value changes.
In September 2021, the Company, in connection with the acquisition of Jiobit, issued convertible notes with a fair value of $11.6 million. The Company will repay one third of the unconverted principal balance plus accrued interest to the holders of such notes, and they may be converted to common stock at any time at a fixed conversion price of $22.50 per share. Interest is accrued at the U.S. Prime rate plus 0.25%. The Company has elected the fair value option and remeasures the September 2021 Convertible Notes at their fair value at each reporting date and reflects the changes in fair value in earnings. Refer to Note 9, "Convertible Notes" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
Generally, the fair market value of the September 2021 Convertible Notes will increase as interest rates rise and decrease as interest rates fall. In addition, the fair value of the September 2021 Convertible Notes fluctuates when the market price of our common stock fluctuates. The estimated fair value of the September 2021 Convertible Notes is determined using a combination of the present value of the cash flows and the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Changes in the interest rate environment could have an effect on our future cash flows and earnings, depending on whether the debt is held to maturity or converted to shares of our common stock.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023 pursuant to Rule 13a‑15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the preparation and audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 as discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, management has concluded the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Material Weakness and Remediation Plan
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual and interim financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis.
In connection with the audit of our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, our management identified a material weakness related to management’s risk assessment process over information technology general controls, including certain controls over logical access, segregation of duties and change management, and certain process level controls including information used in the execution of those controls that impacted our financial reporting processes. The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements in the financial statements, and there were no changes to previously issued financial results. However, the material weakness creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated. The remediation actions include:
•broadening the scope and improving the effectiveness of existing information technology general controls for access management, segregation of duties, change management and computer operations.
•enhancing documentation of our IT controls for systems key to our financial reporting process.
•providing training relating to the importance and execution of IT general controls for key systems that support financial reporting.
•developing enhanced risk assessment procedures and controls to address IT risks related to key systems that support financial reporting.
•performing an in-depth analysis of the roles and accesses within key financial reporting systems and redesigning roles and accesses to support a stronger control environment.
•engaging internal and external resources to assist us with remediation and monitoring remediation progress.
While we believe these efforts will remediate the material weakness, the material weakness cannot be considered fully remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
44
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the changes intended to remediate the material weaknesses described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within a company are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
45
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and government investigations in the ordinary course of business. We have received, and may in the future continue to receive, inquiries from regulators regarding our compliance with law and regulations, including those related to data protection and consumer rights, and due to the nature of our business and the rapidly evolving landscape of laws relating to data privacy, cybersecurity, consumer protection and data use, we expect to continue to be the subject of regulatory investigations and inquiries in the future. We have received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties relating to information or content that is published or made available on our platform, among other types of claims including those relating to, among other things, regulatory matters, commercial matters, intellectual property, competition, tax, employment, pricing, discrimination, and consumer rights. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves, our partners, and our customers by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of these claims. The results of any current or future regulatory inquiry or litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, such investigations and litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, the potential for enforcement orders or settlements to impose operational restrictions or obligations on our business practices and other factors.
The information set forth under Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies," in the notes to the consolidated financial statements under the caption “Litigation” is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may cause our operations to vary materially from those contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Readers should carefully consider the information in this Form 10-Q in connection with the risk factors disclosed within Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented by the risk factor previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those described in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, except as set forth below.
Risks Related to Privacy and Cybersecurity
We are subject to stringent and evolving U.S. and foreign laws, regulations, rules, contractual obligations, policies and other obligations related to data privacy and security. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could lead to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; and other adverse business consequences.
In the ordinary course of business, we collect, receive, store, process, generate, use, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit, and share (collectively, “process” and its conjugates) personal data and other sensitive information, including proprietary and confidential business data, trade secrets, intellectual property, sensitive third-party data, business plans, transactions, and financial information (collectively, sensitive data). Our data processing activities may subject us to numerous data privacy and security obligations, such as various laws, regulations, guidance, industry standards, external and internal privacy and security policies, contractual requirements, and other obligations relating to data privacy and security.
46
In the United States, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, including data breach notification laws, personal data privacy laws, consumer protection laws (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act), and other similar laws (e.g., wiretapping laws). For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) applies to personal information of consumers, business representatives, and employees who are California residents, and requires businesses to provide specific disclosures in privacy notices and honor requests of California residents to exercise certain privacy rights, such as those noted below. The CCPA provides for fines of up to $7,500 per intentional violation and allows private litigants affected by certain data breaches to seek to recover potentially significant statutory damages. Other states, such as Virginia and Colorado, have also enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws, and similar laws are being considered in several other states, as well as at the federal and local levels. These state laws (including the CCPA) may provide individuals with rights to their personal data, such as the right to access, correct, or delete certain personal data, and opt-out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, profiling, and automated decision-making. If individuals were to exercise these rights at a significant volume or pace, such actions may impact our business priorities. These developments may further complicate compliance efforts and may increase legal risk and compliance costs for us and the third parties upon whom we rely.
Federal, state and local privacy and consumer protection laws also govern specific technologies that we employ or how we market to, and otherwise communicate with, our members. For example, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM) and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) impose specific requirements on communications with consumers. The TCPA, for instance, imposes various consumer consent requirements and other restrictions on certain telemarketing activity and other communications with consumers by phone, fax or text message. TCPA violations can result in significant financial penalties, including penalties or criminal fines imposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FTC) or fines of up to $1,500 per violation imposed through private litigation or by state authorities. We may also use parental consent and identity verification technologies (including those offered by or through service providers) that may capture biometric information or identifiers. Biometric information or identifiers is often governed by distinct laws such as the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) that regulates the collection, use, safeguarding, and storage of Illinois residents’ biometric information or identifiers. The TCPA and BIPA provide for substantial penalties and statutory damages and have generated significant class action activity. The costs of litigating and/or settling TCPA, BIPA or similar legal claim actual or alleged violations could be significant.
Additionally, regulators are increasingly scrutinizing companies that process children’s data. We are subject to the COPPA, which applies to operators of certain websites and online services directed to children under the age of 13 or with actual knowledge that they collect or maintain personal information from children under the age of 13. COPPA may be enforced by state Attorneys General or the FTC, which is empowered to impose civil penalties of up to $46,517 per violation as well as injunctive and equitable relief for violations. COPPA requirements may be modified, interpreted, or applied in new manners that we may be unable to anticipate or prepare for appropriately. Additional laws and regulations that apply to children’s data have been adopted or proposed in recent years, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and the United Kingdom’s GDPR (UK GDPR), the EU Digital Services Act, the UK Age-Appropriate Design Code, the CCPA and other comprehensive state privacy laws, and California’s Age-Appropriate Design Code Act. These laws generally impose various obligations on companies that process children’s data, such as requiring certain consents to process such data and extending certain rights to children and their parents with respect that data. Some of these obligations have wide ranging applications, including for services that do not intentionally target child users (defined in some circumstances a user under the age of 18 years old). These laws may be subject to legal challenges and changing interpretations, which may further complicate our efforts to comply with these laws.
In the US, several states enacted laws regulating social media companies and platforms. These laws, such as the Utah Social Media Regulation Act and the Arkansas Social Media Safety Act, seek to limit social media companies from, among other things, displaying and targeting advertising to accounts held by minors (defined as those under 18) and provide certain rights to parents with respect to data of their children and access to social media platforms. These laws may be subject to legal challenges and the attendant heightened scrutiny associated with processing certain children’s data on social media platforms may lead to increased compliance costs and obligations on us, to the extent we could be considered subject to these laws.
47
Outside the United States, an increasing number of laws, regulations, and industry standards may govern personal data privacy and security. Without limitation, the following personal data laws may apply to our operations such as EU GDPR, the UK GDPR, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (or “FADP”), Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais, or “LGPD”) (Law No. 13,709/2018), Australia’s Privacy Act, Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) (and other Canadian provincial laws), India’s Information Technology Act and supplementary rules, and China’s Personal Information Protection Law (“PIPL”) all impose strict requirements for processing personal data. Under the EU GDPR, companies may face temporary or definitive bans on data processing and other corrective actions; fines of up to 20 million Euros or 4% of annual global revenue, whichever is greater; and private litigation related to processing of personal data brought by classes of data subjects or consumer protection organizations authorized at law to represent their interests.
In addition, we may be unable to transfer personal data from Europe and other jurisdictions to the United States or other countries due to data localization requirements or limitations on cross-border data flows. Europe and other jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring data to be localized or limiting the transfer of personal data to other countries. In particular, the EEA and the UK have significantly restricted the transfer of personal data to the United States and other countries whose privacy laws it believes are inadequate. Other jurisdictions may adopt similarly stringent interpretations of their data localization and cross-border data transfer laws. Although there are currently various mechanisms that may be used to transfer personal data from the EEA and UK to the United States in compliance with law, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the EEA and UK’s standard contractual clauses, these mechanisms are subject to legal challenges (which may result in their invalidation). There is no assurance that we can satisfy or rely on these measures to transfer personal data to the United States. If there is no lawful manner for us to transfer personal data from the EEA, the UK, or other jurisdictions to the United States, or if the requirements for a legally-compliant transfer are too onerous, we could face significant adverse consequences, including the interruption or degradation of our operations, the need to relocate part of or all of our business or data processing activities to other jurisdictions at significant expense, increased exposure to regulatory actions, substantial fines and penalties, the inability to transfer data and work with partners, vendors and other third parties, and injunctions against our processing or transferring of personal data necessary to operate our business. Some European regulators have prevented companies from transferring personal data out of Europe for allegedly violating the EU GDPR’s cross-border data transfer limitations.
Our personnel may currently or in the future use generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies to perform their work. The disclosure and use of personal data in generative AI technologies may be subject to various privacy laws and other obligations. Governments have passed and are likely to pass additional laws regulating generative AI. Our use of this technology (if any) could result in additional compliance costs, regulatory investigations and actions, and consumer lawsuits. If we want to but are unable to use generative AI, it could make our business less efficient and result in competitive disadvantages.
In addition to data privacy and security laws, we may be contractually subject to industry standards adopted by industry groups and may become subject to such obligations in the future. We may also be bound by other contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, and our efforts to comply with such obligations may not be successful.
We may publish privacy policies, marketing materials, and other statements, such as compliance with certain certifications or self-regulatory principles, regarding data privacy and security. If these policies, materials or statements are found to be deficient, lacking in transparency, deceptive, unfair, or not representative of our practices, we may be subject to investigation, enforcement actions by regulators, or other adverse consequences.
48
In addition, major technology platforms on which we rely, privacy advocates, and industry groups have regularly proposed, and may propose in the future, platform requirements or self-regulatory standards by which we are legally or contractually bound. If we fail to comply with these contractual obligations or standards, we may lose access to technology platforms on which we rely and face substantial regulatory enforcement, liability, and fines. For example, in 2021 one of our Channel Partners began to require mobile applications using its operating system, iOS, to affirmatively (on an opt-in basis) obtain an end user’s permission to “track them across apps or websites owned by other companies” or access their device’s advertising identifier for advertising and advertising measurement purposes. Other technology platforms are considering similar restrictions. Such restrictions could limit the efficacy or our marketing activities. In addition, consumer resistance to the collection and sharing of the data used to deliver targeted advertising, increased visibility of consent or “do not track” mechanisms (such as browser signals from the Global Privacy Control) as a result of industry regulatory or legal developments, the adoption by consumers of browser settings or “ad-blocking” software, and the development and deployment of new technologies could materially impact our ability to collect data or reduce our ability to deliver relevant promotions or media or market our products and reach new users, which could materially impair the results of our operations.
In addition, European legislative proposals and present laws and regulations may apply to our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies, electronic communications, and marketing. In the EU and the UK, regulators are increasingly focusing on compliance with requirements related to the behavioral, interest-based, or tailored advertising ecosystem. The ePrivacy Directive, the primary EU legislation on cookies, tracking technologies, electronic communications, and marketing, may be replaced by the e-Privacy Regulation and national implementing laws. Compliance with these laws may require us to make significant operational changes, limit the effectiveness of our marketing activities, divert the attention of our technology personnel, adversely affect our margins, and subject us to liabilities. Outside of Europe, other laws further regulate behavioral, interest-based, or tailored advertising, making certain online advertising activities more difficult and subject to additional scrutiny. For example, the CCPA grants California residents the right to opt-out of a company’s sharing of personal data for advertising purposes in exchange for money or other valuable consideration.
Further, we may accept credit or debit card payments for certain products and services. The PCI DSS, to the extent we are subject to it, may require us to adopt certain measures designed to protect the security of cardholder information, such as using and maintaining firewalls, adopting proper password protections for certain devices and software, and restricting data access. Noncompliance with PCI DSS, to the extent applicable to us, can result in penalties ranging from $5,000 to $100,000 per month by credit card companies, litigation, damage to our reputation, and revenue losses. Generally, we may primarily rely on vendors to process payment card data on our behalf, and those vendors may be subject to PCI DSS. Our business may be negatively affected if our vendors are fined or suffer other consequences as a result of PCI DSS noncompliance.
Obligations related to data privacy and security are quickly changing, becoming increasingly stringent, and creating regulatory uncertainty. Additionally, these obligations may be subject to differing applications and interpretations, which may be inconsistent or conflict among jurisdictions. Our business model materially depends on our ability to process personal data, so we are particularly exposed to the risks associated with the rapidly changing legal landscape. For example, we may be at heightened risk of regulatory scrutiny, and changes in regulatory frameworks could require us to fundamentally change our business model. Preparing for and complying with these obligations requires us to devote significant resources and may necessitate changes to our services, information technologies, systems, and practices and to those of any third parties that process personal data on our behalf. In addition, a shift in consumers' data privacy expectations or other social, economic or political developments could impact the regulatory enforcement of these obligations, which could increase the cost of and complicate our compliance with applicable obligations.
49
We may at times fail (or be perceived to have failed) in our efforts to comply with our data privacy and security obligations. Moreover, despite our efforts, our personnel or third parties on whom we rely, may fail to comply with such obligations, which could negatively impact our business operations. If we or the third parties on which we rely fail, or are perceived to have failed, to address or comply with applicable data privacy and security obligations, we could face significant consequences, including but not limited to: government enforcement actions (e.g., investigations, fines, penalties, audits, inspections, and similar); litigation (including class-action claims and mass arbitration demands); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; bans on processing personal data; and orders to destroy or not use personal data. In particular, plaintiffs have become increasingly more active in bringing privacy-related claims against companies, including class claims and mass arbitration demands. Some of these claims allow for the recovery of statutory damages on a per violation basis, and, if viable, carry the potential for significant statutory damages, depending on the volume of data and the number of violations. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, or financial condition, including but not limited to: loss of customers; inability to process personal data or to operate in certain jurisdictions; limited ability to develop or commercialize our products or services; expenditure of time and resources to defend any claim or inquiry; adverse publicity; or substantial changes to our business model or operations.
We have in the past received inquiries and been subject to investigations, proceedings, orders, and other various inquiries brought by regulators and private claimants regarding our data privacy and security practices and processing of personal data.
If our information technology systems or data, or those of third parties upon which we rely, are or were compromised, we could experience adverse consequences resulting from such compromise, including but not limited to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; and other adverse consequences.
In the ordinary course of our business, we and the third parties upon which we rely may process proprietary, confidential, and sensitive data (such as precise geolocation data and information relating to children), and, as a result, we and the third parties upon which we rely face a variety of evolving threats, including, but not limited to ransomware attacks, which could cause security incidents. Cyber-attacks, malicious internet-based activity, online and offline fraud, and other similar activities threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our sensitive data and information technology systems, and those of the third parties upon which we rely. Such threats are prevalent and continue to rise, are increasingly difficult to detect, and come from a variety of sources, including traditional computer “hackers,” threat actors, “hacktivists,” organized criminal threat actors, personnel (such as through theft or misuse), sophisticated nation states, and nation-state-supported actors.
Some actors now engage and are expected to continue to engage in cyber-attacks, including without limitation nation-state actors for geopolitical reasons and in conjunction with military conflicts and defense activities. During times of war and other major conflicts, we and the third parties upon which we rely may be vulnerable to a heightened risk of these attacks, including retaliatory cyber-attacks, that could materially disrupt our systems and operations, supply chain, and ability to produce, sell and distribute our services.
We and the third parties upon which we rely may be subject to and have previously responded to a variety of evolving threats, including but not limited to social-engineering attacks (including through phishing attacks and deep fakes, which may be increasingly more difficult to identify as fake), malicious code (such as viruses and worms), malware (including as a result of advanced persistent threat intrusions), denial-of-service attacks, credential stuffing attacks, credential harvesting, personnel misconduct or error, ransomware attacks, supply-chain attacks, software bugs, server malfunctions, software or hardware failures, loss of data or other information technology assets, adware, telecommunications failures, earthquakes, fires, floods, and other similar threats. Threat actors may continue to develop and use more sophisticated tools and techniques (including AI) that are specifically designed to circumvent security controls, evade detection, and obfuscate forensic evidence, which may make it more difficult for us to identify, investigate, respond to and recover from incidents.
In particular, severe ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent and can lead to significant interruptions in our operations, loss of sensitive data and income, reputational harm, and diversion of funds. Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting such payments. Additionally, to offer services to our customers and operate our business, we use a number of products and services, such as IT networks and systems, including those we own and operate as well as others provided by third-party providers. Our ability to provide our platform and services could be interrupted if these systems were impacted by a ransomware or other cyber-attack.

Remote work has become more common and has increased risks to our information technology systems and data, as more of our personnel utilize network connections, computers, and devices outside our premises or network, including working at home, while in transit and in public locations. Additionally, future or past business transactions (such as acquisitions or integrations) could expose us to additional cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, as our systems could be negatively affected by vulnerabilities present in acquired or integrated entities’ systems and technologies.
In addition, our reliance on third-party service providers could introduce new cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, including supply-chain attacks, and other threats to our business operations. We may rely on third-party service providers and technologies to operate critical business systems to process sensitive data in a variety of contexts, including, without limitation, cloud-based infrastructure, data center facilities, encryption and authentication technology, employee email, content delivery to customers, and other functions. We may also rely on third-party service providers to provide other products, services, parts, or otherwise to operate our business. Our ability to monitor these third parties’ information security practices is limited, and these third parties may not have adequate information security measures in place. If our third-party service providers experience a security incident or other interruption, we could experience adverse consequences. While we may be entitled to damages if our third-party service providers fail to satisfy their privacy or security-related obligations to us, any award may be insufficient to cover our damages, or we may be unable to recover such award. In addition, supply-chain attacks have increased in frequency and severity, and we cannot guarantee that third parties’ infrastructure in our supply chain or our third-party partners’ supply chains have not been compromised.
Any of the previously identified or similar threats could cause a security incident or other interruption that could result in unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental acquisition, modification, destruction, loss, alteration, encryption, disclosure of, or access to our sensitive data or our information technology systems, or those of the third parties upon whom we rely. A security incident or other interruption could disrupt our ability (and that of third parties upon whom we rely) to provide our services.
We may expend significant resources or modify our business activities to try to protect against security incidents. Additionally, certain data privacy and security obligations may require us to implement and maintain specific security measures or industry-standard or reasonable security measures to protect our information technology systems and sensitive data.
While we have implemented security measures designed to protect against security incidents, there can be no assurance that these measures will be effective. For example, we and our third-party providers have been and may in the future be compromised by the aforementioned or similar threats, and result in unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental processing of our information, or vulnerabilities in the products or systems upon which we rely. For example, in 2023, we experienced a credential stuffing attack. In response to the attack, we launched an investigation to determine what occurred, what information was potentially affected and how we could implement further actions designed to prevent similar incidents in the future. Our investigation revealed that the credential stuffing attack likely leveraged user credentials from other data breaches (not associated with us) to impact potentially a limited number of users’ accounts. We may be unable in the future to detect vulnerabilities or other compromises in our information technology systems or data because such threats and techniques change frequently, are often sophisticated in nature, and may not be detected until after a security incident has occurred. Further, we may experience delays in developing and deploying remedial measures designed to address any such identified vulnerabilities.
Applicable data privacy and security obligations may require us to notify relevant stakeholders, such as governmental authorities, partners, and affected individuals, of security incidents. Such disclosures may involve inconsistent requirements and are costly, and the disclosure or the failure to comply with such requirements could lead to adverse consequences. If we (or a third party upon whom we rely) experience a security incident or are perceived to have experienced a security incident, we may experience adverse consequences. These consequences may include: government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; restrictions on processing sensitive data (including personal data); litigation (including class claims and mass arbitration demands); indemnification obligations; negative publicity; reputational harm; monetary fund diversions; interruptions in our operations (including availability of data); financial loss; and other similar harms. Security incidents and attendant consequences may cause customers to stop using our services, deter new customers from using our services, disrupt our ability to provide our products and services, and negatively impact our ability to grow and operate our business.

Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our data privacy and security obligations. We cannot be sure that our insurance coverage will be adequate or sufficient to protect us from or to mitigate liabilities arising out of our privacy and security practices, that such coverage will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that such coverage will pay future claims.
In addition to experiencing a security incident, third parties may gather, collect, or infer sensitive information about us from public sources, data brokers, or other means that reveals competitively sensitive details about our organization and could be used to undermine our competitive advantage or market position.
