What did Life360 management say?
Life360 co-founder and CEO Chris Hulls emphasised the increase in subscriber numbers over the period.
Hulls said:
Life360 has delivered an exceptional quarter with net subscriber additions of 118 thousand, a record for Q3, and just shy of our all-time record of 119 thousand in Q4'21, which was prior to our nearly 50% price increase, and benefited from the post-COVID reopening.
The 17% year-on-year growth was underpinned by all-time record international subscriber additions, up 44% YoY. This impressive growth bodes well for the international rollout of our Triple Tier Membership offering which went live in the UK in early October, with Australia now planned for the first half of CY24.
Overall we have seen continued outperformance from predominantly English speaking countries (Canada, UK, and Australia) which in aggregate saw Paying Circles increase 52% YoY.
What's next for this ASX 200 stock?
Life360 reaffirmed its CY23 guidance for more than 50% annual growth in core Life360 subscription revenue and consolidated revenue of between $300 million and $310 million.
The company increased its guidance for positive adjusted EBITDA to a range of $12 million to $16 million. That's up from the previous guidance of between $9 million and $14 million.
