Insights

The Q3 results demonstrate strong operational performance with notable highlights: service revenue reached a record $61.9M, growing 21.2% YoY with impressive 77.4% non-GAAP service margins. The company achieved $137.7M in total revenue, up 5.9% YoY and generated healthy free cash flow of $17.4M.

Key metrics show sustainable growth: ARR reached $241.6M, growing 20.8% YoY, while paid accounts surged 70.4% to 4.24M. The strong cash position of $146.6M provides operational flexibility. The Q4 guidance of $116-126M revenue with non-GAAP EPS of $0.07-0.13 suggests continued profitability.

Arlo's strategic focus on subscription services is proving successful, with the launch of Arlo Secure 5.0 strengthening their competitive position. The 77.4% non-GAAP service margin demonstrates the scalability and profitability of their SaaS model. The significant growth in paid accounts indicates strong product-market fit and effective customer acquisition.

The transition to a daily recognition model for service revenue shows improved accounting precision and transparency. This recurring revenue focus, combined with AI and CV-powered analytics capabilities, positions Arlo well in the growing smart security market.

(1)		In the first fiscal quarter of 2024, we changed the methodology on paid service revenue recognition from a mid-month convention to a daily recognition model which recognizes paid service revenue based on the number of service days within the fiscal reporting period, commencing on the start date of the subscription and continuing over the term of the arrangement. Accordingly, the methodology used to calculate ARR was also changed as of March 31, 2024 and is now calculated by taking the average daily paid service revenue of the last calendar month in the fiscal quarter, multiplied by 365 days. We believe the daily recognition model aligns with our customers’ subscription period and service usage and allows for a more precise measurement of paid service revenue relative to the former methodology of a mid-month convention, which was based on paid service revenue for the last calendar month in the fiscal quarter, multiplied by 12 months. This change in calculation methodology has no material impact on our financial statements or any previously reported ARR numbers.

(2)		FCF is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. FCF margin is the FCF divided by revenue.

(3)		Reconciliation of financial measures computed on a GAAP basis to the most directly comparable financial measures computed on a non-GAAP basis is provided at the end of this press release.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Business Outlook ⁽⁴⁾

A reconciliation of our business outlook on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the following table:

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2024
	Revenue	Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share
	(In millions, except per share data)
GAAP	$116 - $126	$(0.06) - $0.00
Estimated adjustment for stock-based compensation and other expense	—	$0.13
Non-GAAP	$116 - $126	$0.07 - $0.13

(4)

Business outlook does not include estimates for any currently unknown income and expense items which, by their nature, could arise late in a quarter, including: litigation reserves, net; impairment charges; discrete tax benefits or detriments relating to tax windfalls or shortfalls from equity awards; and any additional impacts relating to the implementation of U.S. tax reform. New material income and expense items such as these could have a significant effect on our guidance and future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Information:

To supplement our unaudited selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP total operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP other income (expenses), net, non-GAAP provision for income taxes, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude adjustments for stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, write-off of deferred financing, separation expenses, amortization of development of software cost, litigation reserves, net, and the related tax effects. In addition, we use free cash flow as non-GAAP measure when assessing the sources of liquidity, capital resources, and quality of earnings. We believe that free cash flow (usage) is helpful in understanding our capital requirements and provides an additional means to reflect the cash flow trends in our business. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in our view, related to our ongoing operational performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. In addition, management’s incentive compensation is determined using certain non-GAAP measures. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results “through the eyes” of management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP measures, provide useful information to investors by offering:

the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our on-going operating results;
the ability to better identify trends in our underlying business and perform related trend analyses;
a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business; and
an easier way to compare our operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The following are explanations of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding them in the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of stock options, performance-based stock options, restricted stock units (RSU), performance-based restricted stock units, shares under the employee stock purchase plan granted to employees and employees' annual bonus in RSU form. We believe that the exclusion of these charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, we believe it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact stock-based compensation expense has on our operating results.

Other non-GAAP items are the result of either unique or unplanned events, including, when applicable: restructuring charges, impairment charges, write-off of deferred financing, separation expenses, amortization of development of software cost, litigation reserves, net and employee retention credit. It is difficult to predict the occurrence or estimate the amount or timing of these items in advance. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financial statements, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods. The amounts result from events that often arise from unforeseen circumstances, which often occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Therefore, the amounts do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our continuing business operations for the period in which they are incurred.

(1)		We define our registered accounts at the end of a particular period as the number of unique registered accounts on the Arlo platform as of the end of such period. The number of registered accounts does not necessarily reflect the number of end-users on the Arlo platform as one registered account may be used by multiple end-users to monitor the devices attached to that household.

(2)		Paid accounts are defined as any account worldwide where a subscription to a paid service is being collected (either by us or by our customers or channel partners, including Verisure).

(3)		In the first fiscal quarter of 2024, we changed the methodology on paid service revenue recognition from a mid-month convention to a daily recognition model which recognizes paid service revenue based on the number of service days within the fiscal reporting period, commencing on the start date of the subscription and continuing over the term of the arrangement. Accordingly, the methodology used to calculate ARR was also changed as of March 31, 2024 and is now calculated by taking the average daily paid service revenue of the last calendar month in the fiscal quarter, multiplied by 365 days. We believe the daily recognition model aligns with our customers’ subscription period and service usage and allows for a more precise measurement of paid service revenue relative to the former methodology of a mid-month convention, which was based on paid service revenue for the last calendar month in the fiscal quarter, multiplied by 12 months. This change in calculation methodology has no material impact on our financial statements or any previously reported ARR numbers.
