The advertising operation recorded an even faster rate of expansion. It generated US$22.0 million during Q2 2026, versus US$5.3 million in the comparable quarter. Annualized Monthly Revenue stood at US$537.2 million, representing a 29% annual increase.

Net operating cash inflow reached US$23.8 million, an increase of 79% from Q2 2025. Life360 finished the period with US$467.7 million held across cash, restricted cash and short-term investments.Can Momentum Carry Into 2027?Management expects FY26 revenue of US$650 million to US$685 million and adjusted EBITDA between US$130 million and US$140 million.

Consequently, the balance between investment and earnings growth will be an important measure of Life360’s progress heading into 2027.
