The context: The San Mateo-based group said the full financial results for the first quarter are not yet available and the company "cannot yet determine whether these quarterly operating metrics will have a material positive impact on revenue, net income (loss) or any other financial results".

Last month, Life360 — which listed on the ASX in 2019 but cancelled plans for a listing on the Nasdaq in April 2022 — saw its shares soar after narrowing full-year losses and increasing year-on-year revenue by a third.
The company expects to release its full quarterly results on 10 May.
