Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business

(“we” or “Arlo”) is transforming the ways in which people can protect everything that matters to them with advanced home, business, and personal security services that combine a globally scaled cloud platform, advanced monitoring and analytics capabilities, and award-winning app-controlled devices to create a personalized security ecosystem. Arlo’s deep expertise in cloud services, cutting-edge AI and computer vision analytics, wireless connectivity and intuitive user experience design delivers seamless, smart home security for Arlo users that is easy to setup and engage with every day. Our highly secure, cloud-based platform provides users with visibility, insight and a powerful means to help protect and connect in real-time with the people and things that matter most, from any location with a Wi-Fi or a cellular connection – all rooted in a commitment to safeguard privacy for our users and their personal data.
We conduct business across three geographic regions—(i) the Americas; (ii) Europe, Middle-East and Africa (“EMEA”); and (iii) Asia Pacific (“APAC”)—and primarily generate revenue by selling devices through retail channels, wholesale distribution, wireless carrier channels, security solution providers, and Arlo’s direct to consumer store and paid subscription services.
Our corporate headquarters is located in Carlsbad, California, with other satellite offices across North America and various other global locations.
Basis of Presentation
We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arlo and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for fair statement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for interim periods.
Fiscal Periods
Our fiscal year begins on January 1 of the year stated and ends on December 31 of the same year. We report the results on a fiscal quarter basis rather than on a calendar quarter basis. Under the fiscal quarter basis, each of the first three fiscal quarters ends on the Sunday closest to the calendar quarter end, with the fourth quarter ending on December 31.

Use of Estimates
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to such policies during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
There were no accounting pronouncements adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Among the various codification amendments, Topic 470 Debt is applicable to Arlo which requires the disclosure of amounts, terms and weighted-average interest rates of unused lines of credit. The effective date is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirement by that date, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of this new standard will not have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires on an annual basis to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, and (3) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3. Revenue
Performance Obligations
The total estimated service revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied and partially unsatisfied was $25.9 million as of June 30, 2024 and $18.8 million as of December 31, 2023, substantially related to a performance obligation classified as less than one year
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, $106.7 million and $87.6 million of revenue, respectively, was deferred due to unsatisfied performance obligations, primarily relating to over time service revenue, and $101.1 million and $81.4 million of revenue, respectively, was recognized for the satisfaction of performance obligations over time. Approximately $15.2 million and $9.8 million of this recognized revenue, respectively, was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the periods. There were no significant changes in estimates during the period that would affect the contract balances.
During the five-year period that commenced on January 1, 2020, Verisure Sàrl (“Verisure”) has an aggregate purchase commitment of $500.0 million. As of June 30, 2024, the entire purchase commitment has been fulfilled. Based on the Supply Agreement with Verisure, a purchase obligation is not deemed to exist until we receive and accept Verisure’s purchase order. As of June 30, 2024, we had a backlog of $46.0 million which represents performance obligations that will be recognized as revenue once fulfilled, which is expected to occur over the next six months .
On April 25, 2024, Verisure notified us that it was exercising its right under the Supply Agreement to extend the term for another five years (through November 2029) under the same terms but without minimum purchase obligations.
Disaggregation of Revenue
We disaggregate our revenue into three geographic regions: the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, where we conduct our business. The following table presents revenue disaggregated by geographic region.

Note 6. Restructuring
In November 2022, we initiated a restructuring plan to reduce our cost structure to better align the operational needs of the business to current economic conditions while continuing to support our long-term strategy. This restructuring includes the reduction of headcount as well as the abandonment of certain lease contracts and the cancellation of contractual services arrangements with certain suppliers. As of June 30, 2024, we have substantially incurred all costs pertaining to restructuring activities, with related cash outflows extending until the fourth quarter of 2024.

Note 7. Revolving Credit Facility
On October 27, 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association, as lender (the “Lender”).
The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on October 27, 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to the lesser of (x) $40.0 million, and (y) an amount equal to the borrowing base. The borrowing base will be the sum of (i) 90 % of investment grade eligible receivables and (ii) 85 % of non-investment grade eligible accounts, less applicable reserves established by the Lender. The Credit Agreement also includes a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance by the Lender of letters of credit. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows us to request, from time to time, that the Lender increase the aggregate revolving loan commitments by up to an additional $25.0 million in the aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining the Lender’s agreement to participate in each increase. The proceeds of the borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Based on certain terms and conditions including eligible accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024, we had unused borrowing capacity of $6.2 million.
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our domestic working capital assets, including accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, inventory, and other assets to the extent related to such working capital assets.
At our option, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a floating rate equal to: (i) the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate plus the applicable rate of 2.0 % to 2.5 % determined based on our average daily availability for the prior fiscal quarter, or (ii) the base rate plus the applicable rate of 1.0 % to 1.5 % based on our average daily availability for the prior fiscal quarter. Among other fees, we are required to pay a monthly unused fee of 0.2 % per annum on the amount by which the Lender’s aggregate commitment under the Credit Facility exceeds the average daily revolver usage during such month.
The Credit Agreement contains events of default, representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants customary for credit facilities of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to, if the Financial Covenant Trigger Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is in effect, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, tested quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis, of at least 1.00 to 1.00 at any time. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all the covenants of the Credit Agreement.
If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs, then the Lender may cease making advances under the Credit Agreement and declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. In addition, if we file a bankruptcy petition, a bankruptcy petition is filed against us and is not dismissed or stayed within thirty days or we make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically and without notice or demand become immediately due and payable.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
Our operating lease obligations mostly include offices, equipment, and distribution centers, with various expiration dates through June 2029. Certain lease agreements include options to renew or terminate the lease, which are not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore are not factored into our determination of lease payments. The terms of certain leases provide for rental payments on a graduated scale. Gross lease expense was $1.3 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $1.5 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively. We recorded sublease income as reduction of lease expense, in the amount of $0.5 1.0

Letters of Credit
In connection with the lease agreement for our office space located in San Jose, California, we executed a letter of credit with the landlord as the beneficiary. As of June 30, 2024, we had $3.6 million of unused letters of credit outstanding, of which $3.1 million pertains to the lease arrangement in San Jose, California.
Purchase Obligations
We have entered into various inventory-related purchase agreements with suppliers. Generally, under these agreements, 50 % of orders are cancelable by giving notice 46 to 60 days prior to the expected shipment date and 25 % of orders are cancelable by giving notice 31 to 45 days prior to the expected shipment date. Orders are non-cancelable within 30 days prior to the expected shipment date. As of June 30, 2024, we had $51.7 million in non-cancelable purchase commitments with suppliers which is expected to be paid over the next twelve months .
As of June 30, 2024, an additional $33.3 million of purchase orders beyond contractual termination periods have been issued to supply chain partners in anticipation of demand requirements. Consequently, we may incur expenses for the materials and components, such as chipsets already purchased by the supplier to fulfill our orders if the purchase order is cancelled. Expenses incurred have historically not been material relative to the original order value.

Litigation and Other Legal Matters
We are involved in disputes, litigation, and other legal actions. In all cases, at each reporting period, we evaluate whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. In such cases, we accrue for the amount or, if a range, we accrue the low end of the range, only if there is not a better estimate than any other amount within the range, as a component of legal expense within general and administrative expenses. We monitor developments in these legal matters that could affect the estimate we had previously accrued. In relation to such matters, we currently believe that there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position within the next 12 months, or the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigation, and these actions or other third-party claims against us may cause us to incur costly litigation and/or substantial settlement charges. In addition, the resolution of any intellectual property litigation may require us to make royalty payments, which could have an adverse effect in future periods. If any of those events were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the need to adjust the liability and record additional expenses.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, distributors, resellers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising from breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with members of our board of directors and certain of our executive officers that require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and we are not currently aware of any indemnification claims.

Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans
We grant options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), under which awards may be granted to all employees. We also grant performance-based and market-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to our executive officers periodically. Award vesting periods for the 2018 Plan are generally to five years . As of June 30, 2024, approximately 3.8 million shares were available for future grants. Options may be granted for periods of up to 10 years or such shorter term as may be provided in the agreement and at prices no less than 100 % of the fair market value of Arlo’s common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2018 Plan generally vest over four years , the first tranche at the end of 12 months and the remaining shares underlying the option vesting monthly over the remaining three years .
On January 19, 2024, we registered an aggregate of up to 4,759,901 shares of common stock on a Registration Statement on Form S-8, including 3,807,921 shares issuable pursuant to the 2018 Plan that were automatically added to the shares authorized for issuance and 951,980 shares issuable pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) that were automatically added to the shares authorized for issuance on January 1, 2024, both pursuant to an “evergreen” provision contained in the respective plans.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
As of June 30, 2024, all outstanding options were fully vested; therefore, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. Approximately $68.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs and PSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years as of June 30, 2024.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, we settled executive and employee bonuses by granting and issuing restricted stock units (non-cash financing activities) that vested immediately amounting to $6.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively.
Note 10. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, or an effective tax rate of (2.1 )% and (3.1 )%, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 was $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, or an effective tax rate of (3.1 )% and (4.9 )%, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, we sustained U.S. book losses. Consistent with the prior year periods, we maintained a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets and did not record a tax benefit on these deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. For example, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “could,” “may,” “will,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, including statements concerning our business and the expected performance characteristics, specifications, reliability, market acceptance, market growth, specific uses, user feedback, and market position of our products and technology. Our actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Part II—Item 1A—Risk Factors” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
All forward-looking statements in this document are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, such information may be limited or incomplete, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in this Quarterly Report. Unless expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” and “Arlo” refer to Arlo Technologies, Inc. and our subsidiaries.
Business and Executive Overview
Arlo is transforming the ways in which people can protect everything that matters to them with advanced home, business, and personal security services that combine a globally scaled cloud platform, advanced monitoring and analytics capabilities, and award-winning app-controlled devices to create a personalized security ecosystem. Arlo’s deep expertise in cloud services, cutting-edge AI and computer vision analytics, wireless connectivity and intuitive user experience design delivers seamless, smart home security for Arlo users that is easy to setup and engage with every day. Our highly secure, cloud-based platform provides users with visibility, insight and a powerful means to help protect and connect in real-time with the people and things that matter most, from any location with a Wi-Fi or a cellular connection – all rooted in a commitment to safeguard privacy for our users and their personal data.
Since the launch of our first product in December 2014, we have shipped over 34.6 million smart connected devices. As of June 30, 2024, the Arlo platform had approximately 10.0 million cumulative registered accounts across more than 100 countries around the world coupled with approximately 4.0 million cumulative paid subscribers and annual recurring revenue of $235.0 million.
We conduct business across three geographic regions—(i) the Americas; (ii) Europe, Middle-East and Africa (“EMEA”); and (iii) Asia Pacific (“APAC”)—and we primarily generate revenue by selling devices through retail, wholesale distribution, wireless carrier channels, security solution providers, Arlo’s direct to consumer store and paid subscription services. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, we generated total revenue of $127.4 million and $115.1 million, respectively, and loss from operations was $12.8 million and $8.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, we generated total revenue of $251.6 million and $226.1 million, respectively, and loss from operations was $23.4 million and $22.2 million, respectively.
Our goal is to continue to develop innovative, world-class smart security solutions to expand and further monetize our current and future user and paid account bases. We believe that the growth of our business is dependent on many factors, including our ability to innovate and launch successful new products on a timely basis and grow our installed base, to increase subscription-based recurring revenue, to invest in channel partnerships and to continue our global expansion. We expect to increase our investment in research and development going forward as we continue to introduce new and
22
innovative products and services to enhance the Arlo platform and compete for engineering talent. We also expect our sales and marketing expense to increase in the future as we invest in marketing to drive demand for our products and services.
Key Business Metrics
In addition to the measures presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts and make strategic decisions. We believe these key business metrics provide useful information by offering the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our on-going operating results and a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business. Our key business metrics may be calculated in a manner different from the same key business metrics used by other companies. We regularly review our processes for calculating these metrics, and from time to time we may discover inaccuracies in our metrics or make adjustments to better reflect our business or to improve their accuracy, including adjustments that may result in the recalculation of our historical metrics. We believe that any such inaccuracies or adjustments are immaterial unless otherwise stated.

_________________________
(1) The number of cumulative paid accounts as of June 30, 2024 included paid accounts managed by Verisure Sàrl (“Verisure”) in our EMEA region which are now onboarded with us. This does not have an impact to our financial statements and key business metrics other than our number of cumulative paid accounts.
(2) As described further below, 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. As a result, ARR as of June 30, 2024 was calculated using the daily recognition model while ARR as of July 2, 2023 was calculated using our former methodology, the mid-month convention. ARR as of July 2, 2023 calculated using the daily recognition model does not represent a material change from the mid-month convention over the same period.
Cumulative Registered Accounts. We believe that our ability to increase our user base is an indicator of our market penetration and growth of our business as we continue to expand and innovate our Arlo platform. 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.
Cumulative Paid Accounts. 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).
Annual Recurring Revenue. We believe ARR enables measurement of our business initiatives and serves as an indicator of our future growth. ARR represents the amount of paid service revenue that we expect to recur annually. 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 in the first fiscal quarter of 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. ARR is a performance metric and should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these items.
23
Impact of Global Geopolitical, Economic and Business Conditions
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we remained focused on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, hostilities in the Middle-East, supply chain disruptions, the inflationary macro environment, fluctuating consumer confidence and rising interest rates by preserving our liquidity and managing our cash flow by taking preemptive action to enhance our ability to meet our short-term liquidity needs. These actions include, but are not limited to, proactively managing working capital by closely monitoring customers’ credit and collections, renegotiating payment terms with third-party manufacturers and key suppliers, closely monitoring inventory levels and purchases against forecasted demand, reducing or eliminating non-essential spending, and subleasing or reducing excess office space. We continue to monitor the situation and may, as necessary, reduce expenditures further, borrow under our revolving credit facility, or pursue other sources of capital that may include other forms of external financing in order to maintain our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the uncertainty in the United States and global markets resulting from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, hostilities in the Middle-East, supply chain disruptions, the inflationary macro environment, fluctuating consumer confidence and rising interest rates, current financial conditions within the banking industry, including the effects of recent failures of other financial institutions, and liquidity levels.

Revenue
Our gross revenue consists primarily of sales of devices and prepaid and paid subscription service revenue. We generally recognize revenue from product sales at the time the product is shipped and transfer of control from us to the customer occurs. Our paid subscription services relate to sales of subscription plans to our registered accounts.
Our revenue consists of gross revenue, less customer rebates and other channel sales incentives, allowances for estimated sales returns, price protection, and net changes in deferred revenue. A significant portion of our marketing expenditure is with customers and is deemed to be a reduction of revenue under authoritative guidance for revenue recognition.
25
We conduct business across three geographic regions—(i) the Americas; (ii) EMEA; and (iii) APAC—and generally base revenue by geographic region on the bill-to location of the customer.

Product revenue increased by $2.4 million, or 3.8%, and $2.9 million, or 2.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year periods, respectively, primarily driven by an increase in product shipments in EMEA due to stronger customer demand, partially offset by the decrease in product sales in the Americas and APAC due to seasonality and a reduction in average selling prices (“ASPs”) of our products as we increased promotional activities to stimulate household acquisition and subscriber growth. The increase in product revenue was also attributable to lower sales returns which are partially offset by higher sales incentives that are deemed to be reductions of revenue.
Service revenue increased in all regions by $9.9 million, or 19.7%, and $22.7 million, or 24.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year periods, respectively, primarily due to a 73.9% increase in cumulative paid accounts.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists of both product costs and service costs. Product costs primarily consist of the cost of finished products from our third-party manufacturers and overhead costs, including personnel expense for operation staff, purchasing, product planning, inventory control, warehousing and distribution logistics, third-party software licensing fees, inbound freight, IT and facilities overhead, warranty costs associated with returned goods, write-downs for excess and obsolete inventory and excess components, and royalties to third parties. Service costs consist of costs attributable to the provision and maintenance of our cloud-based platform, including personnel, storage, security and computing, IT and facilities overhead.
Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue can vary based upon a number of factors, including those that may affect our revenue set forth above and factors that may affect our cost of revenue, including, without limitation, product mix, sales channel mix, registered accounts’ acceptance of paid subscription service offerings, and changes in our cost of goods sold due to fluctuations in prices paid for components, net of vendor rebates, cloud platform costs, warranty and
26
overhead costs, inbound freight and duty costs, and charges for excess or obsolete inventory. We outsource our manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution logistics. We also outsource certain components of the required infrastructure to support our cloud-based back-end IT infrastructure. We believe this outsourcing strategy allows us to better manage our product and service costs and gross margin and allows us to adapt to changing market dynamics and supply chain constraints.

Product cost of revenue increased 9.2% and 3.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to an increase in product shipments, partially offset by decreases in product warranty reserves and inventory reserves.
Service cost of revenue increased 14.0% and 14.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to service revenue growth as a result of the increase in cumulative paid accounts, partially offset by cost optimizations.

Product gross profit decreased $3.2 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily driven by a reduction in the ASPs of our products as we increased promotional activities to stimulate household acquisition and subscriber growth. The product gross profit decrease was partially offset by decreases in product warranty reserves and inventory reserves due to subsequent sale of the related inventory units.
Service gross profit increased $8.1 million and $19.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to service revenue growth in all regions as a result of increases in cumulative paid accounts and cost optimizations.
27
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense, safety, security, regulatory services and testing, other research and development consulting fees, and allocated IT and facilities overhead. Generally, we recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. We have invested in and expanded our research and development organization to enhance our ability to introduce innovative products and services. We expect research and development expense to increase in absolute dollars as we develop new product and service offerings and compete for engineering talent. We believe that innovation and technological leadership are critical to our future success, and we are committed to continuing a significant level of research and development to develop new technologies, products, and services, including our hardware devices, cloud-based software, AI-based algorithms, and machine learning capabilities.

Research and development expense increased by $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increases of $1.7 million in personnel-related expenses mainly from stock-based compensation and merit increases and $0.4 million in professional services.
Research and development expense increased by $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increases of $3.9 million in personnel-related expenses mainly from stock-based compensation and merit increases, $0.7 million in professional services, and $0.3 million in corporate IT and facilities overhead.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel expense for sales and marketing staff, technical support expense, advertising, trade shows, media and placement, corporate communications and other marketing expense, product marketing expense, allocated IT and facilities overhead, outbound freight costs, and credit card processing fees. We expect our sales and marketing expense to increase in the future as we invest in marketing to drive demand for our products and services.

experience improvements across customer care and engineering, and $0.5 million in credit card processing fees as a result of increases in Arlo.com store sales and paid subscriber accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in freight-out expenses.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense for certain executives, finance and accounting, investor relations, human resources, legal, information technology, professional fees, allocated IT and facilities overhead, strategic initiative expense, and other general corporate expense. We expect our general and administrative expense to fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue in future periods based on fluctuations in our revenue and the timing of such expense.

General and administrative expense increased $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increases of $7.3 million in personnel-related expenses mainly from stock-based compensation due to the achievement of performance-based awards target and $2.8 million in professional services.
Others
Others include restructuring charges, which consist of severance costs, office exit expense, and other exit expense associated with the abandonment of certain lease contracts and cancellation of contractual services arrangements with certain suppliers, and separation expense, which consists primarily of costs of legal and professional services.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was lower than the U.S. federal income tax rate due to a lower effective tax rate on foreign earnings and valuation allowance on our net U.S. deferred tax assets and certain foreign tax attributes as it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized.
30
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $144.0 million and we had unused borrowing capacity of $6.2 million based on the terms and conditions of our revolving credit facility. We have a history of losses and may incur operating and net losses in the future. As of June 30, 2024, our accumulated deficit was $388.7 million. Historically, we have funded our principal business activities through cash flows generated from operations and available cash on hand.
Material Cash Requirements
We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months and beyond. However, in the future we may require or desire additional funds to support our operating expenses and capital requirements. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient, we may seek to raise additional funds through public or private equity. We have no commitments to obtain such additional financing and cannot provide assurance that additional financing will be available at all or, if available, that such financing would be obtainable on terms favorable to us and would not be dilutive.
Our future liquidity and cash requirements may vary from those currently planned and will depend on numerous factors, including the introduction of new products, the growth in our service revenue, the ability to increase our gross margin dollars, as well as cost optimization initiatives and controls over our operating expenditures. As we grow our installed base and related cost structure, there will be a need for additional working capital, hence, we increased our subscription rates effective February 3, 2023.
Leases and Contractual Commitments
Our operating lease obligations mostly include offices, equipment, and distribution centers. Our contractual commitments are primarily inventory-related purchase obligations with suppliers.
Contingencies
We are involved in disputes, litigation, and other legal actions. We evaluate whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount of loss. In such cases, we accrue for the amount or, if a range, we accrue the low end of the range, only if there is not a better estimate than any other amount within the range, as a component of legal expense within litigation reserves, net.
Refer to Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for further information about our operating leases, purchase obligations, and legal contingencies.

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to improved profitability offset by unfavorable working capital movements as a result of increased inventory purchases, partially offset by higher trade payable balances due to the timing of payments.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower net purchases of short-term investments and lower purchases of property and equipment.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased by $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in withholding tax from restricted stock unit releases and lower proceeds related to employee benefit plans.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a complete description of what we believe to be the critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2024, other than as discussed in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements, in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our management, including our CEO and our CFO, has concluded that, due to the material weakness described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024 at a reasonable assurance level. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected.
Notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report for the six months ended June 30, 2024 fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Previously Reported Material Weaknesses
As reported in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, in connection with our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, our management identified certain control deficiencies in the area of our Information Technology General Control (“ITGC”) related to (i) user access and segregation of duty controls that restrict user and privileged access to appropriate personnel; (ii) program change management controls; and (iii) certain computer operations controls that, when aggregated, arise to a material weakness.
Management is committed to remediating the material weakness in a timely manner. Our remediation process includes, but is not limited to: (i) increasing timely reviews of information technology system changes made; (ii) rationalizing access privileges for developer system users; (iii) implementing or modifying controls related to program change management and certain computer operations; and (iv) training of relevant personnel on the design and operation of any new or modified ITGCs. These steps are subject to ongoing management review, as well as oversight by the audit committee of our board of directors.
Status of Remediation Efforts
Management has implemented measures designed to remediate the material weakness in fiscal year 2024. The remedial measures implemented include but are not limited to:
•Implementation of a software solution to identify and facilitate review of changes made to our Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system via newly designed detective controls to supplement our existing preventative controls.
33
•Implementation of a tool to better monitor access via a secure gateway to our operating systems, as well as better management of credentials across all financially impactful applications and the underlying infrastructure managed internally.
•Enhancement of our user access review procedures to increase precision.
•Reduction of elevated access within our ERP system.
•Redesign and implementation of ITGCs and deployment of additional trainings to further mature the overall control environment.
We have substantially implemented the remedial measures described above relating to the control deficiencies associated with the previously identified material weakness within the IT function. We believe that upon completion of such measures, we will have strengthened our ITGCs to address and successfully remediate the identified material weakness. However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remediated controls are fully implemented and have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through formal testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect to continue to assess their operating effectiveness throughout fiscal 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the ongoing remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
