Thank you Tom and thank you everyone for joining us today on <unk> third quarter 2023 earnings call.
Arlo delivered an outstanding performance in Q3 across both financial and operational measures. The decisions that we made 12 months ago in anticipation of the shifting market landscape and consumer sentiment, we're on target and have positioned <unk> for success, despite the challenging macro environment.
Our first decision focused on lowering the barrier of entry into the Arlo ecosystem.
This led to us rebalancing, our pricing across hardware and services by lowering upfront hardware costs and increasing recurring service prices.
Implementing this change allowed us to maintain our robust product sales, which in turn drove our highly profitable and predictable services business. Despite a weakening consumer environment. The outcome of this decision is clearly illustrated in our outstanding results after crossing over 2 million subscribers earlier this.
This year, our low now has two 5 million subscribers and is growing paid accounts at roughly 50% year over year.
Additionally, annual recurring revenue or <unk> grew 60% year over year to $200 million.
This robust paid account growth comes along with increased <unk> and an LTV that is now $700 per subscriber.
And as a reminder, our customer acquisition cost is roughly $100, which means our LTV to CAC ratio is a stellar seven.
This morning.
To further bring down the barrier of entry Arlo launched our new total security subscription offerings in partnership with a firm, which combines hardware and service solutions into a single low monthly payment pricing for this package starts at just $9 99 per month, including professional monitoring and dramatically lower.
The cost of entry for consumers in the need of a security solution. This new offering represents an outstanding value proposition and compelling opportunity for those customers looking for their first security system or upgrading from a traditional security system, where they're paying too much for antiquated technology and poor service.
The second decision that we made a year ago to counter the initial macro economic indicators was to change our normal roadmap cadence and prioritize developing a new low cost a central platform.
The team worked tirelessly over the last 12 months to develop our new essential to platform, which includes significant user experience enhancements video quality upgrades battery life improvements and new features all at a substantially lower price in fact, a significant portion of the innovation cycle.
It came from the close hardware integration and resulting cost reductions with our supply partners that enabled <unk> to target lower price segments with a superior product and user experience.
The launch of our central to also demonstrates our operational excellence across our supply chain capabilities.
This is the largest product launch in <unk> history, we ramped our production to 800000 units across more than 40 skus in less than eight weeks in order to support a robust holiday sales plan in collaboration with our channel partners.
This strong execution contributed to our Q3 revenue of $130 million, which is at the high end of our guidance range. Additionally, we generated record non-GAAP earnings per share of <unk>.
Which represents an operating margin of six 5% another record for the company.
Stepping back and comparing the first nine months of this year to last year free cash flow is up about $65 million.
This strong financial performance puts us well ahead of the long range plan, we communicated to investors at the beginning of last year.
As I look across our channels and even recent promotional events like Amazon Big deal days Arlo is seeing continued resilience and consumer demand that defies the broader economic trends being reported.
<unk> safety awareness concerned about crime and our pricing strategy has continued to successfully counter any macroeconomic headwinds.
Throughout the year, we have gained share and coupled with the essential to launch arlo could not be positioned any better to deliver a successful holiday season.
The result of those decisions speak for themselves as a result of strong operational trends, we are raising our guidance for Q4 and the full year.
Our results and expectations for continued operational and financial success highlight the inherent strength and resilience of a true SaaS recurring revenue business and while it may sound counterintuitive, given the volatile times in which we currently operate arlo is better positioned than it's ever been and both the future that is only getting brighter with.
Each quarter as we continued to execute our plan with a dogged determination and focus.
We know the important role we play in our users' lives and there is a clarity of purpose coupled with a consistent cadence of execution towards our key goals of paid account growth expansion of profitability and ultimately the creation of additional shareholder value.
And with that I'll turn it over to Kurt.
Thank you, Matt and thank you everyone for joining us today.
I will start by sharing some financial details and an overview of the business for Q3 2023.
Revenue for the third quarter came in near the high end of our guidance range at $130 million.
Up $15 million sequentially and slightly higher on a year over year basis.
While revenue was relatively consistent year over year. The composition of that revenue continues to change dramatically in the quarter service revenue was almost 40% of total revenue while last year. It accounted for 28% of total revenue.
This shift is reflective of our services first approach as well as the impact of our new pricing strategy.
I want to highlight the strength of our services revenue and our growth.
Which helped deliver solid revenue performance and contributed to our low generating a record non-GAAP operating profit in Q3 of $8 million or six 5% operating margin.
Our service revenue for Q3 was another record at $51 million, an increase of $15 6 million or 44% year over year.
This growth was driven by our subscription price increases and the addition of almost 625000 paid accounts over the past three quarters.
This number does include some catch up or <unk> accounts that were under reported as discussed on our last call.
We continue to expect the normal growth in paid accounts to remain in the 170000 to 190000 range per quarter.
Our installed base continued its strong growth trajectory and reached two 5 million subscribers in Q3.
As mentioned earlier services accounted for nearly 40% of our Q3 total revenue and importantly represented 86% of our total non-GAAP gross profit.
As our pricing strategy is clearly designed to maximize product sales, but with an intent to drive growth and are highly predictable and profitable services business.
Our record operating profit up $12 $6 million from last year stands as another proof point that the strategy is working.
Additionally, we're excited to have reached <unk> of $200 million in Q3 up about 60% year over year, providing another solid proof point of the tremendous power of the recurring revenue in our services business.
Product revenue for Q3 was $79 million, which was up over 20% sequentially and down 15% year over year.
During the quarter, we shipped a total of one point to 3 million cameras worldwide compared to $1 2 million in the prior year period.
Product revenue was impacted by a slight increase in shipment volume, but more so due to declines in average selling prices driven by a deliberate shift in our pricing strategy and mix in global product assortment.
In the quarter, approximately $50 million or 38% of our revenue originated from our international customers.
Our EMEA results were impacted in the past few quarters as our largest partner continued to constrain inventory levels a cycle. Other channel partners went through in previous quarters. We remain confident this is not an end market demand issue and expect this near term response to macro conditions.
In the region to moderate over time.
From this point on my discussion will focus on non-GAAP numbers.
The reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP figures is detailed in our earnings release distributed earlier today.
Our non-GAAP gross profit for the third quarter was $44 million up 16% year over year.
This resulted in a non-GAAP gross margin of 34% up 400 basis points from 30% in Q3 of 2022.
The year over year increase in non-GAAP gross profit was attributable to the growth in our services business.
The improvement in non-GAAP service gross profit was driven by growth in our subscription and planned pricing coupled with cost optimizations.
non-GAAP service gross margin for the quarter was 74% slightly down from 75% in Q2, 2023 and significantly up from 67% in Q3 of 2022.
non-GAAP product gross margin for the quarter was 8% consistent with the previous quarter as well as our guidance provided in March of this year.
Furthermore, we are very pleased that once again, our services non-GAAP gross profit exceeded our non-GAAP operating expenses in the quarter a.
A critical financial achievement, we expect to continue to build upon in the future.
Total non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter were $36 million slightly down sequentially, but significantly down year over year.
The year over year decrease is primarily attributable to the suspension of our brand awareness campaign. Just after Q3 of last year. The non-GAAP operating expenses for the first three quarters of 2023 were markedly better than our expectations and reflect the cost savings initiatives implemented.
Last year as well as a disciplined approach to discretionary spending throughout 2023.
Our head count at the end of Q3 was 353, which represents a slight change from 345 team members at the end of Q2.
And 360 team members in the same prior year period.
In Q3, we posted non-GAAP net income of $9 6 million or.
Our non-GAAP net income translates to earnings per diluted share of <unk>.
A record for Arlo and at the high end of our guidance range.
Regarding our balance sheet and liquidity position, we ended the quarter with $126 million in available cash cash equivalents and short term investments.
This balance was up over $2 million sequentially and demonstrates the solid capital position that Arlo is in right now.
We are pleased to report that we generated approximately $7 million in free cash flow in Q3, which represents free cash flow margin of 5%.
An improvement driven by our increased profitability and solid working capital management.
Additionally, our year to date free cash flow was a remarkable $28 million throughout the first three quarters of 2023 or an almost $64 million improvement over the same period last year.
Our Q3 inventory balance ended at $53 million up $14 million from Q2 2023, as a result of the launch of our essential to camera portfolio and in line with our expectations.
Inventory turns in Q3, we're at five five times down from six one times in the last quarter.
Our new product launch will enable us to remain highly aggressive with our product pricing strategy, particularly through the holiday season and into 2024.
We remain focused on maintaining appropriate inventory levels to effectuate, a smooth product transition with our retailers and partners.
These factors have impacted our inventory balance and thereby our ability to generate.
Similar levels of free cash flow.
And finally, our accounts receivable balance was $70 million at the quarter end with Q3 Dsos at 49 days down from 59 days from the same period last year.
We will continue to monitor our working capital balances in line with our revenue and forecasted consumer demand levels with a focus on maintaining a solid balance sheet and liquidity position in the future.
Now turning to our outlook.
We expect the fourth quarter revenue for 2023 to be in the range of $129 million to $139 million or $485 million to $495 million for the full year.
Thereby increasing the midpoint of our full year guidance.
We expect our GAAP net income loss per diluted share to be between a loss of <unk> <unk> to income of one per share.
And our non-GAAP net income per diluted share to be between six.
And <unk> 12 per share for Q4 2023.
Service revenue is still forecasted to grow at approximately 45% over last year, thereby becoming a much larger portion of our overall revenue and profitability mix and.
And we expect non-GAAP services gross margin to be in the range of 75%.
For 2023.
And now I'll open it up for questions.
At this time, if you would like to ask a question. Please press star followed by the number one on your telephone keypad.
We'll pause for just a moment to compile the questions.
Your first question comes from the line of Scott Searle with Roth <unk>.
Your line is open.
Okay.
Scott Searle with <unk> Your line is open.
Okay.
Hey, good afternoon, Thanks for taking my questions nice job on the quarter guys.
Im Curt I apologize bouncing between calls, but I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about the <unk> mix in the quarter between strategics and <unk>.
Otherwise it looked like it was a little bit down sequentially Im wondering if theres anything to read into that in terms of pricing rebates or otherwise and how we should expect that to trend over the next couple of quarters.
Yeah, Hey, Scott.
Welcome to the team. Thanks again for your support and glad to have you on the call today are great question.
We're still very pleased with the way that <unk> is trending we've communicated in the past that when you look at our retail channel our <unk> trend in the range of $11 50.
Which is up year over year, driven much because of our pricing strategy that we employed earlier this year. So that's been trending very well very well.
<unk> on the <unk>.
Strategic account side is heavily driven around the actual revenue model as we've mentioned in the past it's more of a cost consumption SaaS based pricing type model, so that tends to be lower than our retail channel RFP, but it's right in line with our expectations. While we are seeing though is that in terms of the overall subscriber.
Mix.
Subscriber mix has been mixing up slightly higher on the us and the strategic account side, so that might have a trend of impacting our overall blended ARPA, but it's still in line with expectations and is still trending in a favorable way.
Got you and just as a follow up I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about attach rates in terms of paid accounts. If we're seeing any sort of divergence on that front or things are consisting.
Progressing in line with expectations I guess as part of that now.
The more advanced 20, <unk> security monitoring.
Opportunity for you I'm wondering how you see that fitting into the picture what the broad base expectations are for that thanks.
Yes, yes. This is Matt.
Happy to welcome you as well to the call Scott.
From a.
From a security perspective, the security system I mean, we're very excited about that I'll, just kind of referenced the announcement we made.
This morning around the total security subscription package, which is which is really exciting it combines the service and the hardware together in one low monthly payment.
<unk> that with our partner firm and Thats us.
<unk> the security system, which comes with higher ARPA overtime in that relationship in a way that consumers are kind of used to buying that.
Especially from a from a direct customer. So yes, we're very excited about that I can't remember what was the first part of your question.
Hello, Matt just in terms of attach rates.
It's actually yes, sorry.
Yes, so we haven't seen any big changes in attach rates, our conversion rates and just to remind everybody. We actually track both so attach rates for us.
Is a measure 30 days after the initial trial is done we take a quick snap and look at the attach rates and that's roughly 50% and then we continue to follow those cohorts all the way up to six months at later.
And Thats, what we call our conversion rate both of those metrics and I will even add churn to this bucket.
Are still extremely consistent quarter over quarter. So we're not seeing any big swings there at all.
Great. Thanks, so much.
Yeah Youre welcome.
Your next question comes from the line of Jacob Stevens with Lake Street. Your line is open.
Hey, guys congrats on the quarter.
I guess, the first question would kind of be focusing on the service gross margins here.
When I look at it.
Service gross margin declined sequentially is there anything specific you can really point to.
As the reasoning and maybe just kind of reiterate.
Why do you think you can hit that 75%.
Our full year target.
Yes, Hey, Jacob glad to have you on the call.
Yes, so as you pointed out overall services gross margin quarter over quarter did drop slightly we were at 75% on a non-GAAP basis, our last quarter. We were at 70 474, 1%. This quarter a lot of that was driven by the services revenue mix in the quarter.
As we've talked about in the past, we do have quarters, where NRG is a bigger portion of our overall revenue and our <unk> service revenue tends to be at a lower margin profile. So that will happen quarter to quarter, you may see some fluctuations, but I will say and emphasize that we are still very extremely excited about how we are.
Executing on the services business.
As we mentioned previous quarter, we reiterate again this quarter that we expect that services business to be up 45% year over year, and we still are targeting for a full year to be in that range of 75%. So that's our target for the year.
Okay.
So.
If I recall correctly.
The guidance for service revenue growth year over year. It was raised slightly last quarter.
I think I would equate to something around 48%.
So is this kind of just a resetting of expectations.
Alright, I guess, just a little slight downtick or.
Now with the last quarter.
Yes, we definitely guided to and that $200 million range for sure I don't know if we actually cited the actual percentage growth.
But what we see from when you look at last year's full year service revenue versus this year's full year service revenue to.
To be exact will be up probably 45% that's what we're targeting.
Okay.
Just one more on the kind of overall competitive environment.
ADT reported recently.
Or kind of refocusing on the core business.
Launching some newer.
Kind of lower ASP products do.
Do you see any new competitors or any new competition from ADT or any of the other guys.
In the market today.
It's a great question.
We're actually seeing some more consolidation and actually some brands come out of our major channels, which I think provides some opportunity on the upside so.
If I step back and just provide a little bit of commentary on what we're seeing across both arlo dot com, but more specifically, our retail and direct paid channels.
Like like the big retailers.
We positioned ourselves I think extraordinarily well based on our pricing strategy and some of the things we talked about in our prepared remarks and we're expecting.
Great holiday season, I mentioned in the prepared remarks that we had.
Above forecast are strong Amazon Big deal day, which was in the October timeframe.
We report today to that.
Walmart launched its AE event, which is its annual event, which is kind of its biggest promotion in Q4 for its holiday period yesterday Arlo is the flagship product for that in this market segment and we've got about a day and a half of data under our belt and it's actually stronger than expectation as well so we're seeing.
Like I mentioned before consistent.
Consistent resilient demand based on how we're executing in the channels and we're starting to see in certain channels.
Some of our competitors actually be pulled off the shelf as the retailers are concentrating on those brands that are actually investing in the channel and actually driving growth for them. So yes. There is some noise about certain products being launched here and there, but I would say the overall trends we're seeing in our channels that are actually around us gaining share screening mind share with that.
Channel partners and seeing some of our competitors actually come off the shelf.
Okay.
That's very helpful. Thanks for all the color good luck going forward here guys.
Thank you. Thank you.
Your next question comes from the line of Adam Tindle with Raymond James Your line is open.
Okay. Thanks, good afternoon, and congrats on the $200 million of IRR.
Really nice milestone to hit there.
Wanted to start Matt.
Net new paid subscribers I think it was just under 200190 7000 for the quarter and if we compare that to net new registered users. It looks like the attach rate that we could see is a little bit lower than it's been in a couple of quarters and I'm wondering if there's maybe some rationale behind that and then secondly that 197 number is.
So a little bit lower sequentially I think it's above your typical targets but.
And then you had some one timers in there just the what it looks like the implied deceleration sequentially any comments on that and the implied.
Implied attach rate on why it might look a little bit like a deceleration quarter, yes, exactly yes, great question, Adam and actually.
The two questions you have or actually related so I'll remind you in the previous.
Two quarters, we commented that bearish or in one of our top partners is actually doing a bit of a catch up on on the.
Paid account numbers right now from a revenue perspective, we're charging them correctly, but they had a firmware issue in one of their regions, where it wasn't incremental the actual paid account level. So if last quarter, which was closer to 240000 and change.
From a from a net add perspective, if you backed out that it was right in the $1 70 to $1 90 range per quarter, so called the $180 85 roughly.
If you back that out this quarter same thing they added fewer of a catch up. So we are closer to 200000, but the catch up was probably closer to 10 to 15000 again, putting us right in that $1 70 to $1 90 range. So move removing that noise from just the catch up actually youre seeing consistent growth in paid subscribe.
So as we're going forward I will say that I think we'll see this continue so they are not done cleaning up and do it for more upgrades in that region to get the number to kind of increment correctly.
And it's just an aberration on that single number.
But it does affect certain calculations. If you are dividing paid accounts for <unk> and some of those things. So it can shift things around a little bit in reality, we're going to see I think still stick with that $1 70 to 190 million range as we go forward.
You may see a bigger catch up number next quarter, maybe a smaller I think we probably have about two to maybe three more quarters of catch up at most before we can get back to just kind of the normal run rate.
But again, if you back out that kind of fluctuating catch up from that one region in Europe. The paid account growth is actually perfectly consistent quarter over quarter and exactly what it is in the range we've been talking about.
Super helpful. Super helpful. Okay. Thank you and then just as a follow up the pro monitoring release.
Really excited to see that it's been a longtime coming just curious if you could comment on.
Kind of a long time to think about this how are you looking to differentiate with that platform. There is a number of these offerings out there how you differentiate and then incurred if you could.
Talk about the financial impact I know, it's probably fairly small right now, but if that grows to a bigger part of the business what would it do to the financials.
Profile.
Yes, so the total subscription.
We call. It total security subscriptions is a relatively unique offer especially in the DIY space right.
Basically yes.
Underneath financing the hardware and the service together over 36 months, but it's being presented to the end user as a subscription because we will roll them into a subscription on the 37th month.
So it is seen as from the from an offering perspective as a single low monthly payment no upfront cost and youre getting both the hardware and the professional monitoring for that if you.
You put through the website Youll see there is actually three tiers, which is also interesting. So we have a starter pack that starts as low as 999 per month with professional monitoring and then it goes all the way up to a more advanced pack that actually includes the full system plus cameras multiple sensors and everything else. So it's got a wide offering range and its starting at a very aggressive price.
Point, an offer at least in the DIY space is very unique one of the reasons. We're excited about it is it presents the solution very much in a similar fashion in a very competitive fashion against some of the more traditional security.
Anders that are out there and there is roughly 20% to 25 million households that have all traditional security at much higher monthly payments and here's a solution that says we can not only lower your monthly payment, but there is no outlay for hardware. So the trends for the transition over is actually very easy for the end user. So that's the thought behind it.
It's great we've already got people, signing up which would create even though we just launched a couple of hours ago.
So we're excited by that and we'll see how it goes and then we'll open the lean in even further next year into that type of offering in the market.
Yeah, and Adam in terms of the overall operating model and the financial profile, it's actually very attractive for us I mean, Matt I think talked about it last quarter that we're offering $20 seven monitoring type service, but it gives us the ability in our overall portfolio of service plans to uplift our.
Subscribers into a higher plan and typically that higher plant is almost 60% greater than our overall blended average so we see it as a.
An operating model that is very healthy that allows us to.
Expand <unk> and expand <unk> overtime. The great thing is as of right now the total security solution, we're providing this through our direct to consumer channel and therefore, our profitability is much higher now we might experiment and getting into other channels with a similar type offering but right now it's a very healthy profitable channel for us and we look.
To allow that to help us drive <unk> expansion over time, while we're selling it through our <unk> our.
Direct to consumer channel.
Okay perfect just a quick clarification Curt I just hear a lot of the financing component behind this could you just double click on how you went about looking to protect our low is there a recourse to you.
Hello.
Great question, Great question and the answer is no thats why were so important about building this partnership with a firm.
We started working on this several months ago, we wanted to make sure that first the the model would resonate with consumers and be over a nice 36 month period, but the great thing about this type of arrangement as we <unk> get paid upfront for the total package and then they service and take the risk associated with the credit.
Over that 36 months so in our case.
We have very little to no recourse around credit liability and we get cash upfront. So it improves our overall free cash flow, while we want to focus on though is as we get to the 36 month term is what can we do to not only extend that contract with the customer, but also potentially get more services more hardware bundle.
For the next phase of that relationship. So all good in terms of balance sheet and credit risk standpoint.
Sounds great. Thank you guys.
Sure. Thank you.
Your next question comes from the line of Hamed <unk> with Bwl financial your line is open.
Hi could you elaborate on your holiday sales plans our U S.
Specifically about inventory are you over expressing on the essential side, where it's going to be low price point items.
Balanced mix.
Yes, so the.
It will lean into definitely the new product launch, which is which is our new essential to product.
And I think Thats a match of what we see just happening in the macroeconomic environment. So we're meeting the consumer where.
Where they are from a unit perspective, it'll be probably our largest quarter as a company from from from a holiday perspective. So we're excited by the plan is multichannel.
I already mentioned the activity, we had at Amazon earlier in the quarter. The Walmart deal is live as of yesterday and.
And Youll see some more unfold, obviously through November and the beginning of December it's probably the most robust holiday plan we've ever had.
And it'll be leaning as it usually does leans into the most.
The most recent or the newest product at launch, which this year is essential to.
And then from an inventory perspective, as we head into fourth quarter right now as we communicated we're sitting in the $53 million to $54 million range, which frankly is a very comfortable level for us now we will be stocking up a bit in the early part of Q4 with the ability.
To replenish over time as these promotion campaigns execute with our retailers. So I think we're well.
Well situated on our side from an inventory level and we feel like the retail channel themselves. Those retailers are in good standing as well. So I don't expect any concerns of meeting the demand the demand seems to be evident in present.
We will have sufficient supply and we'll monitor it throughout the fourth quarter and make sure that we set us up for success heading into Q1 of next year.
And when looking into Q1 of next year.
50% conversion rate.
How much of a significant move do you expect in the retail <unk>.
The retail Hart hardware, our retail service.
Service, our food right, because youre, giving away at 90 days.
Yes, actually our new <unk>.
Yes, so our new trial is actually 30 days so it some where it used to be relatively easy to take the entire volume shipped volume.
POS volume in Q4, and say that will be service revenue in Q1, because of the 90 day free trial as we've migrated to a 30 day trial, it's a little barriers. So some of the sales hardware sales.
In Q4 might see some increased account activity in Q4, some of it will actually be in Q4 and spillover into Q1 holiday quarter Q4 always brings in some other timing variances a lot of people byproducts and even if they buy in October they stick it under the tree and don't open it until the end of December or potentially early Q1, and so there is some shifting.
There so from an <unk> perspective, we're not expecting big shifts in our pool, what I would say, we're looking forward to a service revenue lift from potentially having more new households formed over a robust holiday period.
But that's some of the normal seasonality I think we've always had in our business. It's just it's a little blurry as we move to a shorter free trial period.
Great. Thank you.
Youre welcome.
And there are no further questions at this time. This does conclude today's conference call. Thank you for joining you may now disconnect.
