Wireless Carriers. We supply our products to major wireless carriers around the world, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Telstra and Vodafone. This sales channel is and will continue to be the key route-to-market for our current portable LTE-enabled camera and any future cellular-enabled security solutions.
Security Solution Providers. We sell our products and services to security solution providers, including Verisure.
Arlo.com. In the third quarter of 2019, we launched our online direct to consumer store to sell our products directly to our customers. We also sell our subscription services, such as Arlo Secure, Arlo Total Security, and Arlo Safe, directly to consumers.
Agreements with Strategic Partners
We have several strategic partners who we engage with to provide our products and services to, and through whom we reach different geographies or markets. Verisure is the exclusive distributor of our products in Europe for all retail channels and direct channels in connection with Verisure’s security business. On April 25, 2024, Verisure notified us that it was exercising its right under the Supply Agreement to extend the term for another five years (through November 2029) with no minimum purchase obligations. Under the Supply Agreement, a purchase obligation is not deemed to exist until we receive and accept Verisure’s purchase order. For the year ended December 31, 2025, 32% of our total revenue was derived from Verisure. As of December 31, 2025, we had a backlog of $46.3 million which represents performance obligations that will be recognized as revenue once fulfilled, which is expected to occur over the next six months.
In June 2025, we entered into a partnership agreement with ADT, one of the largest security companies in North America. The partnership is designed to leverage ADT’s large customer base to expand Arlo’s subscriptions and services revenue stream. No revenue related to the partnership agreement with ADT was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2025.
Competition
We believe we are well-positioned to compete within the broader smart security market, both within and beyond the home as we continue to launch new services and product lines on our highly secure, globally-scaled platform. However, our market is highly competitive and evolving, and we expect competition to increase in the future. We believe the principal competitive factors impacting the market for our services and products include price, service offerings, functionality, brand, technology, design, distribution channels and customer service.
We believe that we compete favorably in these areas based on our market position in the U.S. consumer network connected camera systems market, best-in-class technology, direct relationship with users and user engagement, trusted Arlo platform, strong Arlo brand and channel partners and deep strategic partnerships with key suppliers, such as Infineon Technologies Americas Corp, OmniVision Technologies Inc., Realtek Semiconductor Corp, and Qualcomm Incorporated. Moreover, our focus on building a smart security platform, combined with our leadership in innovation in the consumer network connected camera systems market, has led to the strength of our Arlo brand worldwide. We believe this focus allows us to compete favorably with companies that have introduced or have announced plans to introduce smart security services and devices. Nevertheless, the smart security market remains highly competitive, and has a multitude of participants, including: large global technology companies, such as Amazon (Blink and Ring) and Google (Nest); security service vendors, such as ADT; telecom service providers, such as AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast; and other companies, such as TP Link, Eufy, and Wyze.
Many of our existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition and substantially greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we do. We anticipate that current and potential competitors will also intensify their efforts to penetrate our target markets. For additional information, see “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-Some of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do, and to be

competitive we may be required to lower our prices or increase our sales and marketing expenses, which could result in reduced margins and loss of market share.”
Research and Development
We are passionate about developing new and innovative products and services that enhance the smart security experience. Our research and development team collaborates with our product team to design and build differentiated new products and improve upon our existing products and services. Our goal is to create unique user experiences within the smart security market. For example, our original Arlo camera was the world’s first commercially available 100% battery-operated Wi-Fi security camera with 720p HD video, IP65-rated weather resistance and night vision. The groundbreaking nature of the product, first launched in December 2014, gathered critical acclaim and market success. Our research and development team has taken this same approach to all of our subsequent product releases, constantly innovating to stay competitive.
As of December 31, 2025, our research and development staff consisted of 186 employees, located in our offices worldwide, and was comprised of front-end and back-end software engineers, radio frequency engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, system test engineers, computer vision scientists and data analysis engineers, UX and industrial design engineers and mobile app developers. We also engage and contract with certain third parties, such as ITS Partner LLC, e-Infochips Ltd., and Elinext Software Ltd. on research and development. We intend to continue to invest in research and development to expand our platform and capabilities in the future.
Manufacturing
While all of our products are primarily designed in North America, we currently outsource manufacturing to Foxconn Cloud Network Technology Singapore Pte. Ltd., Tonly Technology Co., Ltd, Alpha Networks Inc., Pegatron Corporation, and Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd., which are all headquartered in Asia. Although we do not have any long-term purchase contracts, we have executed master product supply agreements with these manufacturers, which typically provide indemnification for intellectual property infringement, epidemic failure clauses, agreed-upon price concessions, division of each party’s intellectual property and product quality requirements. As we expand our product portfolio, we continue to explore new potential manufacturing partners that may provide us with competitive advantages on technology and cost. Since we outsource our manufacturing, we have the flexibility and ability to adapt to market changes, product supply and component pricing while keeping our costs low. In addition to their responsibility for the manufacturing of our products, our manufacturers typically purchase all necessary parts and materials to produce finished goods. To maintain quality standards for our suppliers, we have established our own product quality organization based in Vietnam and Taiwan, which is responsible for auditing and inspecting process and product quality on the premises of our manufacturers. Our strategic relationships with our manufacturers are an important component of our ability to introduce new products and grow our business.
We focus on driving alignment of our product roadmaps with our manufacturers and determining what we can do collectively to reduce costs across the supply chain. Our operations teams based in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Taiwan, and Vietnam coordinate with our manufacturers’ engineering, manufacturing and quality control personnel to develop the requisite manufacturing processes, quality checks and testing and general oversight of the manufacturing activities. We believe this model has enabled us to quickly and efficiently deliver high-quality and innovative products, while enabling us to minimize costs and manage inventory.
Our products are manufactured and packaged for retail sale by our manufacturers mostly in Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia, and shipped to our logistics hubs in the United States, Hong Kong, and Australia. Our operations team coordinates with our manufacturers to ensure that the shipment of our products from the manufacturers to these logistics hubs meets customer demand.
Arlo Cloud Engineering Operations

Table of Contents
We currently serve our users from third-party data center hosting facilities. Our cloud platform runs in data centers in the United States and a data center in Ireland to serve our European Union users. We also utilize data centers in Singapore and Australia. We have designed our cloud environments to be highly resilient with built-in redundancy and provide failover to other data centers in our network.
Marketing
Our marketing programs are focused on building global brand awareness, increasing product adoption and driving sales. Our marketing efforts target individuals interested in a smart security solution. We also increase brand awareness by augmenting word-of-mouth recommendations from Arlo customers and key influencers, interact digitally with current and prospective customers and maintain and develop our strong channel partnerships and strong shelf presence. We collaborate with our retail partners on market development activities to drive in-store and online engagement with the brand and drive purchases.
Customer Care
We provide global customer care to Arlo users through a range of communication channels, including phone, chat, email, social media, the Arlo Community, and self‑service options such as knowledge‑base articles, how‑to videos, and technical documentation on our website. We believe that timely, responsive support—combined with accessible educational content—helps drive ongoing user engagement, build loyalty to our brand, and provide valuable insight into the evolving needs of our users.
The Arlo Community continues to be a highly effective and efficient platform for peer‑to‑peer support, product education, and real‑time user feedback. We regularly analyze user interactions and feedback from all channels and share these insights with our product, design, and engineering teams to help inform future enhancements to our products and services.
To support our global user base, we manage and continually optimize our service operations through a combination of Arlo employees and subcontracted, outsourced resources. As our installed base expands across new geographies, product categories, and technologies, we remain focused on building a scalable, flexible support infrastructure that enables users to reach us through the channels that are most convenient and efficient for their needs.
Fiscal Periods
Our fiscal year begins on January 1 of the year stated and ends on December 31 of the same year. We report our 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.
Intellectual Property
Our ability to protect our intellectual property will be an important factor in the success and continued growth of our business. We rely upon a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws and contractual restrictions, such as confidentiality agreements and licenses, to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Some of our technology relies upon third-party licensed intellectual property.
We currently hold 146 issued United States patents, 54 pending United States patent applications, 107 international patents, including patents issued by China and the EU, 40 pending patent applications outside of the United States. All the patents and patent applications generally relate to certain aspects of our hardware devices, accessories, software and services. We continually review our development efforts to assess the existence and patentability of new intellectual property.
11
Table of Contents
We also pursue the registration of our domain names and trademarks and service marks in the United States and in certain locations outside the United States. We currently have six registered trademarks and six pending trademark applications in the United States, as well as 110 registered trademarks and 8 pending trademark applications outside of the United States. We currently hold trademark registrations for “ARLO” in 13 countries: the United States, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Trinidad and Tobago, as well as the World Intellectual Property Organization. For more information, see “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-If we are unable to secure and protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to compete could be harmed.”
Environmental Laws
Our products and manufacturing processes are subject to numerous governmental regulations, which cover both the use of various materials and environmental concerns. Environmental issues such as pollution and climate change have had significant legislative and regulatory efforts on a global basis, and there are additional changes to the regulations in these areas in the upcoming years. These changes could directly increase the cost of energy, which may have an impact on the way we manufacture products. In addition, any new regulations or laws in the environmental area might increase the cost of the raw materials we use in our products and the cost of compliance. Other regulations in the environmental area may require us to continue to monitor and ensure proper disposal or recycling of our products. To the best of our knowledge, we maintain compliance with all current government regulations concerning our production processes for all locations in which we operate. Since we operate on a global basis, this is also a complex process that requires continual monitoring of regulations and we have an internal group focused on monitoring our compliance process to ensure that we and our suppliers are in compliance with all existing regulations.
Environmental, Social, and Governance
We believe that responsible and sustainable business practices support our long-term success and strive to proactively manage and address the environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) topics most important to our stakeholders. We have integrated ESG considerations into many of our business practices and policies, and work together with our customers, suppliers, and strategic partners to promote improvement in human rights, labor, environment, health and safety, anti-corruption, ethics and management system standards within our operations and our supply chain. For more information on ESG, including our climate and energy-usage performance, see our recently published ESG report on our website at https://www.arlo.com/en-us/esg-report.html.
