Factors to Note
Arlo’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from its new business model to focus on a services-focused strategy. The new business model may have attracted a new subscriber base leading to an increase in paid accounts, which is likely to have impacted ARR growth positively. In the first quarter, Arlo is expected to reach $100 million in ARR.
The company’s expanding portfolio of products and services has been acting as key catalysts. In the first quarter, the company is expected to have gained from a plethora of new services introduced in Arlo Secure Services plans, including object detection, AI-based audio detection, and interactive notifications that allow requesting fire, medical or police support.
Arlo’s expanding partner base has been acting as a tailwind. In the to-be-reported quarter, Arlo may have benefited from the strategic partnership with
Amazon
AMZN
and
Alphabet
GOOGL
.
Integration with Amazon Alexa’s smart home ecosystem allows Arlo to provide a smart home security system, which is expected to attract new customers. Customers can use Arlo’s new range of services, like virtual security assistance voice recognition and receive notifications, with the help of Alexa.
Arlo’s partnership with Google assistant will enable customers to enjoy a cross-ecosystem, which will provide customers with a complete smart home experience, and they would not have to choose one ecosystem over another. Google’s reach across the country and globally is likely to have helped Arlo tap into new customer bases.
The ongoing supply chain constraints may have impacted Arlo’s production capabilities negatively. The company is heavily dependent on limited third-party sources for several key components. Failure to meet supply requirements by these sources is expected to have impacted Arlo’s sales negatively, and increased component costs further.
