Lafitani Sotiriou's questions to LIFX leadership

Question · Q1 2024

Asked for details on the proposed U.S. IPO's secondary sell-down, the technical validation and revenue model of the Hubble partnership, the progress of the advertising business and its direct sales capabilities, and the drivers for the company's back-ended earnings forecast.

Answer

Executives could not provide specific IPO details but emphasized minimizing dilution. They confirmed Hubble's core technology is proven and the revenue model will be a share of network fees with minimal Life360 effort. The advertising business is slightly ahead on infrastructure, with direct sales being enabled by tools like AdMob. The year is back-ended due to seasonality, a new Tile product launch, and the advertising revenue ramp-up in H2.

Question · Q3 2023

Inquired about the penetration of activated Tiles in the U.S. subscriber base, the drivers of standalone hardware sales growth, and the geographic sources of international subscriber growth, including early results from the U.K. launch.

Answer

The company views the impact of Tile bundling as a long-term vision with ongoing benefits, making it difficult to define a 'peak impact' period. Standalone hardware sales are benefiting from the overall growth of the Bluetooth tracker category. International growth is strong in developed English-speaking markets (U.K., Canada, Australia), and the U.K. launch has been very successful with strong media reception.
