Factors to Note
Arlo is expected to have benefited in the fourth quarter from a growing subscriber base, driven by its new business model and an expanding portfolio. In the to-be-reported quarter, Arlo surpassed the mark of one million paid subscription accounts, which nearly doubled since March 2021.
Arlo’s expanding portfolio of products and services has been a key catalyst. In the fourth quarter, the company is expected to benefit from its new Arlo Secure Services plans.
Arlo’s expanding partner base has been another key catalyst. In the to-be-reported quarter, Arlo is expected to have benefited from the strategic partnership with Calix CALX.
Calix is expected to have improved Arlo’s products and services' distribution by offering the services of Arlo to homes and businesses across North America.
Arlo is expected to have benefited from the launch of its new product, Arlo Go2 Smart Security Camera, in collaboration with Verizon Communications VZ.
Arlo Go is exclusively available in Verizon stores nationwide, and the latter’s reach across the nation is expected to have helped Arlo tap into new customer bases.
Nonetheless, increasing airfreight expenses due to supply chain constraints have limited margin expansion in the fourth quarter.
