(Life360 or the Company) (ASX: 360) today reported audited financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. Life360 Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Chris Hulls said: “We are incredibly proud that more than 61 million monthly active users (MAU) globally enjoy the peace of mind that comes with the location sharing and safety features of Life360. In CY23 we made significant strides in our member experience, showing our users what their family members are up to, whether they’re driving, walking or biking. We put pets and other valuables on the map with Tile, all in the service of our mission to keep people close to the ones they love.

“At the same time we made meaningful progress on our path to profitability as we significantly reduced our net loss, and achieved a major milestone by delivering our first full year of positive Adjusted EBITDA1 and Operating Cash Flow. We are excited to continue building on our leading global position in location sharing, and see exciting opportunities in CY24 and beyond to broaden our reach and deepen engagement with our members. We look forward to bringing the benefits of our subscriptions to more markets globally, and creating new revenue streams that utilize the scale and quality of our member base.

“In 2023, we delivered on our commitment to balance fiscal responsibility and prudent investment to position the business for long-term success. We delivered YoY revenue growth of 33% while GAAP operating expenses increased only 4% YoY. We met or exceeded all of the guidance metrics we provided to the market for CY23.”

Looking forward to CY24, we are excited to announce the creation of a new advertising revenue stream that offers partners unparalleled reach to Life360’s enormous free user base, and more than 20 million daily active users (DAU) connecting with their families and friends.

Life360 Non-GAAP Hardware Revenue is calculated using Hardware Revenue, GAAP. For a reconciliation between Hardware Revenue, GAAP and Non-GAAP Hardware Revenue, refer to the Revenue (GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation) section below. 

Q4’23 operating expenses increased 12% YoY, largely due to higher general and administrative costs primarily arising from increased accounting costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, and higher legal expenses. Commissions were higher YoY in line with the growth in subscription revenue. CY23 operating expenses increased 4% for the year, benefiting from a 1% reduction in R&D expenses which reflected cost reduction measures undertaken in Q1’23.

Life360 ended Q4’23 with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $70.7 million, with unrestricted cash increasing by $7.1 million from Q3’23. Q4’23 operating cash flow of $9.0 million was offset by $1.0 million used in investing activities related to payments for internally developed software, and $0.9 million used in financing activities related to taxes paid for the net settlement of equity awards, offset by proceeds from the exercise of options.Q4’23 net cash provided by operating activities of $9.0 million was largely in line with Adjusted EBITDA of $8.9 million.In CY23, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $19.7 million from CY22. CY23 operating cash flow of $7.5 million was offset by $2.2 million used in investing activities and $25.0 million used in financing activities.CY23 cash provided by operating activities of $7.5 million saw a differential to Adjusted EBITDA of $20.6 million due to timing of receipts, manufacturing payments, and Q1 restructuring costs.

Earnings Guidance8

For CY24 Life360 expects to deliver the following metrics which include both the early revenue, and set-up costs, for the new advertising business:

Consolidated revenue of $365 million$375 million, with core Life360 subscription revenue growth of at least 20% YoY;Positive Adjusted EBITDA9 of $30 million$35 million;EBITDA7 loss of $(8) million to $(13) million;Positive Operating Cash Flow for each quarter of CY24, with the usual seasonal low point in Q1;Year-end cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $80 million$90 million.

The company expects to continue to be Adjusted EBITDA positive on a quarterly basis going forward, and to achieve positive EBITDA in the first half of CY25.

8

With respect to forward looking non-GAAP guidance, we are not able to reconcile the forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA measure to the closest corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items, which are fluid and unpredictable in nature. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that may be confusing or misleading to investors. These items include, but are not limited to, litigation costs, convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, and gains/losses on revaluation of contingent consideration. These items may be material to our results calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Life360’s CDIs are issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the US Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) for offers of securities which are made outside the US. Accordingly, the CDIs have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the US. As a result of relying on the Regulation S exemption, the CDIs are ‘restricted securities’ under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This means that you are unable to sell the CDIs into the US or to a US person who is not a QIB for the foreseeable future except in very limited circumstances until after the end of the restricted period, unless the re-sale of the CDIs is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption is available. To enforce the above transfer restrictions, all CDIs issued bear a FOR Financial Product designation on the ASX. This designation restricts any CDIs from being sold on ASX to US persons excluding QIBs. However, you are still able to freely transfer your CDIs on ASX to any person other than a US person who is not a QIB. In addition, hedging transactions with regard to the CDIs may only be conducted in accordance with the Securities Act.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business, allocate our resources and assess our performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 

In addition to total revenue, net loss and other results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) other income, net. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) other expense, net, (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) Form 10 transaction costs, (vii) acquisition and integration costs, (viii) workplace restructuring costs, (ix) inventory write-offs, (x) adjustment in connection with membership benefit, (xi) warehouse relocation costs and (xii) gain on revaluation of contingent consideration.

The above items are excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this media release because they are key measurements used by our management team internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. As such, you should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP, including various cash flow metrics, net loss and our other GAAP results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

ICEYE expands its Earth Observation capabilities with launch of two SAR satellites for mid-inclination orbit on the Bandwagon-2 mission with SpaceX

Published

on

By

Mid-inclination orbit provides more SAR-imaging opportunities at middle latitudes of the globe for ICEYE customers.

HELSINKI, Finland, Dec. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICEYE, the global leader in SAR satellite operations for Earth Observation and persistent monitoring, announced today that it has launched two new satellites to its constellation of SAR satellites. Both satellites expand the availability of ICEYE’s latest imaging technology to deliver additional 25 cm imaging capacity. The satellites were integrated via Exolaunch and launched as part of the Bandwagon-2 rideshare mission with SpaceX from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA. Both satellites have established communication, and early routine operations are underway. With today’s launch, ICEYE has successfully launched 40 satellites into orbit since 2018, with nine satellites launched in 2024 alone.

The new SAR satellites were launched into mid-inclination orbits; compared to a polar orbit, these mid-inclination orbits provide more than twice the collection opportunities at middle latitudes of the globe. ICEYE customers have many areas of interest in these middle latitudes (+/- 45 degrees), and these customers will benefit from increased persistence over these regions. Customers with imaging interests outside these middle latitudes will continue to benefit from the frequent revisit enabled by ICEYE’s dozens of satellites in polar orbits. ICEYE’s unique mix of mid-inclination and polar orbits provides its customers with deep revisit capabilities for targets all around the globe. The new satellites will serve ICEYE’s commercial missions as part of the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation owned and operated by ICEYE.

Rafal Modrzewski, CEO and Co-founder of ICEYE said: “This launch marks another significant milestone in ICEYE’s ability to provide our customers with a rich diversity of collection opportunities. We bolster our industry-leading SAR constellation and expand our customers’ collection opportunities in the areas most important to them.”

Today’s launch is another step forward in ICEYE’s steady drumbeat of innovative breakthroughs in Earth Observation. This year alone, ICEYE has, for example, introduced Dwell Precise, a new 25 cm imaging mode that offers its customers the highest-fidelity 25cm imaging capability, and adds advanced capability to ICEYE’s line of Dwell products; launched an API that allows customers to directly task its SAR satellite constellation; and launched ICEYE Ocean Vision to provide actionable intelligence for maritime domain awareness.

About ICEYE

ICEYE delivers unparalleled persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth, faster and more accurately than ever before.

Owning the world’s largest synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellation, ICEYE provides objective, near real-time insights, ensuring that customers have unmatched access to actionable high-quality data, day or night, even in challenging environmental conditions. As a trusted partner to governments and commercial industries, ICEYE delivers intelligence in sectors such as insurance, natural catastrophe response and recovery, security, maritime monitoring, and finance, enabling decision-making that contributes to community resilience and sustainable development.

ICEYE operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, the UK, Australia, Japan, UAE, Greece, and the US.  We have more than 700 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.

Juliettdate, an online dating platform, has introduced a new feature called Drafts to improve communication on its dating platform.

TALLINN, Estonia, Dec. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Picture this: you’ve found an interesting match on a dating website, your conversation flows, and messages fly back and forth as you dive into an engaging discussion. Then, a technical glitch happens — your browser crashes, or you accidentally close the chat. Suddenly, the message you were crafting is gone, and you can’t quite remember what you wanted to say.

To make sure moments like this don’t disrupt your conversations, Juliettdate has introduced the Drafts feature. This handy addition allows users to save unsent or incomplete messages for up to 30 days. You can revisit, edit, and send your drafts at any time during this period.

How Draft Feature on Juliettdate Works

Messages are automatically saved as drafts every few seconds, requiring no action from the user. No matter if you’re composing a thoughtful reply or managing multiple conversations on the go, your progress remains securely saved.Drafts are synced across the platform’s web and mobile versions, allowing users to pick up right where they left off, whether on their phone or desktop.After 30 days, messages that haven’t been acted upon will be automatically removed.

The idea for the Drafts feature came straight from user feedback. Many shared how frustrating it was to lose messages mid-conversation, especially when the dialogue was meaningful. With this feature, Juliettdate users can stay connected and maintain the rhythm of their chats without worrying about interruptions or lost words.

The Drafts feature is just one of many ways Juliettdate works to improve the platform. In 2024, the company conducted over 120 product tests to improve the functionality and usability of its dating platform.

Along with working on user functionality, Juliettdate is constantly enhancing the security of its site by leveraging different measures. For instance, the platform has incorporated a patented AI anti-fraud solution that swiftly detects fraudulent activities, ensuring a safer environment for users. Additionally, Juliettdate employs robust moderation systems to identify and remove fraudulent accounts and unwanted content, further protecting its community.
