Arlo Technologies Reports Record Subscription Revenue Amid Shifting Business Model
Arlo Technologies (ARLO) is successfully transitioning into a subscription-based business, with services and subscriptions revenue reaching a record $96 million, a 20% year-over-year increase. This segment now accounts for over 64% of total revenue, supported by a high non-GAAP services gross margin of 83.9%. Paid accounts grew by 23% to reach 6.6 million. However, the transition faces headwinds as hardware revenue declined and revenue per account fell approximately 7% over the past year. While management has set an ambitious target for 30% annual recurring revenue growth in 2027—relying heavily on partnerships with Comcast and ADT—current quarterly ARR additions have slowed. Additionally, rising stock-based compensation and increased channel inventory levels present potential risks to long-term profitability.
