Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of business Arlo Technologies, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” or “Arlo”) is transforming the ways in which people can protect everything that matters to them with home, business, and personal security services that combine a globally scaled cloud platform, monitoring and analytics capabilities, and award-winning app-controlled devices to create a personalized security ecosystem. Arlo’s experience in cloud services, AI and computer vision analytics, wireless connectivity and intuitive user experience design delivers seamless, smart home security for Arlo users that can be setup by the customers and engaged with every day. Our 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. 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 paid subscription services, as well as devices through retail, wholesale distribution, strategic partners, security solution providers, and Arlo’s direct to consumer store. 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, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026. 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. Reclassification Certain prior periods amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material impact to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Use of estimates The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and operating results for the three months ended March 29, 2026 and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or any future period.
