Fourth Quarter 2026 Business Outlook (4) (5)
A reconciliation of our business outlook on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the following table:
| Three Months Ended December 31, 2026 |
|---|
| Revenue | EPS - diluted |
|---|
| (In millions) | |
|---|
| GAAP | $137 - $147 | $(0.03) - $0.03 |
| Estimated adjustment for stock-based compensation and other expenses | - | $0.20 |
| Non-GAAP | $137 - $147 | $0.17 - $0.23 |
(4) The 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.
(5) The current global tariff environment is uncertain. Our products are manufactured outside the U.S., and consequently tariffs increase our product costs, which could impact our sales and reduce our product margin.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for Arlo Technologies, Inc.:
Forward-looking statements notice
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” “forecast” or other similar words are used to identify such forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events based on information available at the time such statements were made and include statements regarding our potential future business, operating performance and financial condition, including descriptions of our expected revenue, including subscriptions and services revenue growth, profitability, GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins, tax rates, expenses, cash outlook, free cash flow and free cash flow margins; expectations regarding our annual guidance on total revenue and earnings per share for 2026 and beyond; expectations regarding our strategic objectives and initiatives; expectations regarding the realization of returns on our strategic investments and partnerships; and others. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the following: future demand for our products may be lower than anticipated, including due to inflation, fluctuating consumer confidence, banking failures and high interest rates; we may be unsuccessful in developing and expanding our sales and marketing capabilities; we may not be able to increase sales of our paid subscription services; consumers may choose not to adopt our new product offerings or adopt competing products; product performance may be adversely affected by real world operating conditions; we may be unsuccessful or experience delays in manufacturing and distributing our new and existing products; we may fail to manage costs and cost saving initiatives, the cost of developing new products and manufacturing and distribution of our existing offerings; we may fail to successfully integrate acquired businesses, technologies or personnel, or to realize the anticipated benefits, synergies or cost savings from our recent acquisitions; we may experience difficulties retaining key employees of acquired companies; the costs and management attention associated with the integration of acquired businesses may be greater than anticipated; and we may not realize the expected returns on our future strategic investments, if any. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based on assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements.
Under the current U.S. administration, tariffs, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other nations, have created a dynamic and unpredictable trade landscape, which could adversely impact our business. Current or future tariffs impacting our products, which are manufactured outside of the United States, have raised and may further raise our product costs. In addition, other trade restrictions could negatively impact our ability to obtain finished products from our ex-U.S. manufacturers and suppliers and, therefore, delay or impede our product deliveries. Tariff-related cost pressures and supply chain disruptions may lead to reputational harm if we are unable to deliver products or services on expected timelines or if any price increases are poorly received by customers or business partners. Furthermore, ongoing uncertainty regarding trade disputes and other political tensions between the United States and other countries, including in Asia, may also exacerbate unfavorable macroeconomic conditions, which may negatively impact international customer demand for our products or services and may lead to increased preference for local competitors. While we continue to monitor these developments, the full impact of these risks remains uncertain, and any prolonged economic downturn, escalation in trade tensions or deterioration in international perception of U.S.-based companies could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Further information on potential risk factors that could affect our business is detailed in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, those risks and uncertainties listed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the most recently filed Annual Report and Quarterly Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and subsequent filings with the SEC. Given these circumstances, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
To supplement our unaudited financial data prepared 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, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude adjustments for stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of software development cost, depreciation expenses, acquisition-related expense, gain on early lease termination, gain on sale of long-term investment, and the related tax effects. In addition, we use free cash flow as a non-GAAP measure when assessing the sources of liquidity, capital resources, and quality of earnings. We believe that free cash flow 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 restricted stock units , performance-based restricted stock units, and shares under the employee stock purchase plan granted to employees, and the payroll taxes associated with stock-based compensation. 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: amortization of intangible assets, amortization of software development cost, depreciation expenses, acquisition-related expense, gain on early lease termination, gain on sale of long-term investment, and the related tax effects. 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) Registered accounts at the end of a particular period are defined as the number of unique registered accounts on our platforms. The number of registered accounts does not directly correspond to the number of users. A single account may be shared by multiple users (which we consider as one account) and a single user may have multiple accounts (which we consider as multiple accounts).
(2) Paid accounts at the end of a particular period are defined as any account worldwide where a subscription-based or otherwise recurring service fee was collected by Arlo (either directly from a user or from a partner).
(3) ARR represents and is defined as the annualized paid subscriptions and services revenue we expect to recognize from subscription contracts, as calculated by taking the average paid subscriptions and services revenue per paid account of the reporting period multiplied by the number of paid accounts at the end of the reporting period.
