HIGHLIGHTS
NEW PRODUCTS DRIVE REVENUE
• Gross sales was $57.6M, compared to Plan of $54.8M
- BIG generated $23.4M or nearly half of Q2's gross revenue
• With the launch of BIG Jambox in May, Q2 net revenue nearly doubled Q1's level
$49.1M in Q2, compared with $28.6M in O1 (and Q2 Plan of $48.5M)
• Q2 gross margin came in at 16.0%, compared with Plan of 22.2%
- Variance to the Plan was due primarily to the higher initial COGS on BIG and
Jambox, and higher level of airfreighting to meet customer demand
- We secured 18% reduction on Jambox COGS starting w Q3 and are driving
reductions on BIG to bring GM back to 22-23% range
EFTA01070256
HIGHLIGHTS
NEW PRODUCTS DRIVE REVENUE
• Operating expense was 5% lower (favorable) than Plan
• Due to the gross margin variance, operating loss was 1O% larger (unfavorable)
than Plan
• Cash outflow was $27.7M, which was $9.9M more (unfavorable) than Plan of
$17.9M for Q2
- Timing difference as working capital (inventory) built up earlier than the Plan
assumed.

Q212 REVENUE*
• Our existing products exceeded the Q2 forecast
Speakers are the primary contributor with BIG driving 41% of the gross revenue
while Jambox is at 37%
International (outside North America) sales remained flat as a % of total gross
sales year over year due to Q2 BIG rollout was focused on the US region
See next chart on revenue by region by product
EFTA01070262
Q212 REVENUE*
• While the original Plan included gross sales of $9.2M of UP, we still beat the Plan of
$48.5M with net revenue of $49.1M
- Strong initial customer demand for BIG was a key factor
- Jambox continues to show strong demand —BIG is complimenting Jambox, not
cannibalizing it
• Solid management of pricing
- Contra-revenue came in 2 points higher than forecast as a % of gross revenue,
But, that was due mainly to one-time event around launch of BIG. Expect Contra-
revenue to return to long term trend of 12-13% of gross revenue

02'12 GROSS MARGIN*
• Q2 Gross margin came in at 16.0% versus Plan of 22.2%
Sales adjustments were higher than Plan, driving 2 points of the variance
Remainder of the variance was due to the standard COGS of BIG and Jambox
running higher than Plan. Additionally, we air freighted nearly 100% of BIG orders
to meet customer launch dates
We have already secured a 18% reduction in the cost of Jambox, starting with Q3.
We are negotiating COGS reductions on BIG
We are already ocean freighting a significant portion of July/August demand
EFTA01070265
02'12 GROSS MARGIN*
• Continuing focus on Ex-factory COGS reductions, which is the largest opportunity
for improving gross margin over the next 12 months
- Goal is to drive > 3O% gross margin within the next 12 months
EFTA01070266
02'12 OPEX*
• Q2 opex came in at $24.5M, favorable to Plan of $25.8M
• Breakdown of Q2 actual opex:
Compensation expense (salaries, bonus, benefits, employer taxes) = $8.4M
Travel and entertainment = $1.3M
Proto/soft tools/test and certs = $1.6M
Channel marketing, PR, Corp Marketing = $7.1M (fixed PR/Marketing contracts
include West Studios, etc.)
Litigation fees, Patent/TM filings = $1.3M
Outside services - Contractors and Consultants = $3.3M (majority is for )
Facilities, Insurance, Supplies, Telco, etc. = $1.5M
• Current monthly opex run rate is at $8.5lvl

CASH FLOW*
• A/R DSO were excellent, below our usual 30-35 day range
- June DSO came in at 29 days
• Inventory Days were at 49 across Q2, reflecting the Build-To-Stock model that we
adopted in the past year to be more responsive to customer demand
• Cash conversion cycle came in at 17 days for Q2
- Sales were heavily back-end loaded in the quarter, which caused the gross AR
balance to increase to $31M at 6/30/12. The cash benefit of the initial BIG launch
wil l be realized in early Q3

NOTE: Credit balances are for customer returns that occur after the original shipping invoice has already been paid. Hence a credit balance appears as there is no
outstanding invoice to offset that amount. These credit memo's are covered by our various Contra Revenue accruals which are liability accounts
The credit memo stays on the AIR ledger because the customer has not elected to use that credit to offset another AIR invoice or ask us for a cash refund
The difference between the AR aging and the AR balance represented on the balance sheet is due to the AR reserve relating to the UP Guarantee

CHANGING OUR
BUSINESS MODEL
EFTA01070273
CHANGING OUR BUSINESS
MODEL FOR THE BETTER
• Our inventory model has been a "bootstrap" one, whereby we take limited cash risk
by making purchase commitments as late as possible and within a short time frame
- Basically a Build-To-Order (BTO) model with limited commitment to the supply
chain and factory
• This model worked well when we were a sub-$100N1 revenue headset company
- Demand for headsets (a business-class product) was even throughout the year
(no seasonal fluctuation)
- So our factory and supply chain ran at a fairly even pace
- The BTO model optimized the financial aspects
EFTA01070274
CHANGING OUR BUSINESS
MODEL FOR THE BETTER
• We recognized several quarters back that our shift into high-tech consumer
electronics requires a different business model
- CE products such as our Wireless Speakers have highly seasonal demand
- The addressable TAM's are multiple times larger than the headset market
- These products are distributed in a wider variety of channels (branching beyond
our Carrier stores and into Mass Merchant Retail, CE Superstores, Discount
Merchants and other channels on an international dimension
EFTA01070275
CHANGING OUR BUSINESS
MODEL FOR THE BETTER
• The BTO model doesn't optimize the financial metrics of Jawbone, mainly the key
elements of the income statement:
Limits our ability to capture any demand upside (we left > $15M revenue on-the-
table in O4'2011—just factoring in Headsets and Speakers)
Providing such short leadtimes on commitments to the factory and material
suppliers results in lower priority and higher costs for our products
Limiting the production scheduling time horizon for our factory results in
unplanned overtime, inefficiencies and puts strain on product quality processes
Creates a mindset where we chase demand, rather than shape it and optimize it
EFTA01070276
CHANGING OUR BUSINESS
MODEL FOR THE BETTER
• We have been revamping the staffing, systems, processes to changeover the
company to a Build-to-Stock (BTS) model
We are forecasting demand at a detailed level for a 6-9 month horizon, versus
our prior 3 month detailed (product SKU, customer, weekly) focus
We are planning the factory and supply chain to this longer time horizon
We are upgrading the quality, reliability, test, and manufacturing operations
processes to drive high gross margin at high volume ramp
• The benefit of this changeover in 2nd Half of 2012 for the Jambox product line is
NPV of + $12.6M for the Company
- Applying this across all product lines going forward will add significant value
to Jawbone

2ND HALF 2012
FOCUS IS ON DRIVING PROFITABILITY
• We piloted this BTS approach with our ODM factory (Foxlink) and key materials
suppliers to see what Product COGS and Overhead reductions we can drive
In exchange for providing 6 month visibility on our material/production needs
and making commitments to purchase this inventory, we were able to secure
significant savings on the JamBox speaker product
The new Product COGS for July onwards is now $57.48 (blended), a $12.68 drop
or 18% decrease from the Q1'12 cost
In addition, with our longer range demand /supply plan and factory load-
balancing, we plan to ocean freight most of these JamBoxes to the North
American market. Compared to our standard mode of airfreighting, this will
generate another $3.00 to 4.00 per unit savings in logistics costs
EFTA01070280
2ND HALF 2012
FOCUS IS ON DRIVING PROFITABILITY
This combined Product and Logistics cost savings totals 21%
This improves Jambox gross margins by 16 points at our current MSRP of $199
Or we can drop MSRP to $159-169 range and still generate the same gross margin
percent and drive significant revenue volume and market share increase
• The trade-off of this build-ahead plan is the initial increase of the inventory in
mid-Q3 through early Q4
- Cash Conversion Cycle goes from today's +8 days range to +50 to +70 days
- Next slide that shows the cash flow impact of the BTO model that Jawbone
operated on prior to 2012 and the BTS model that we wil l run on in 2nd Half
of 2012
