See "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" and "Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results" for additional information. Our business delivered strong results in Q3, as all KPIs met or exceeded guidance to deliver strong Free Cash Flow*. The business added 17 million MAU vs. guidance for 14 million, while Subscriber net additions of 5 million were in-line. Revenue was ahead of guidance and grew 12% Y/Y on a constant currency* basis, led by Premium growth. Gross Margin of 31.6% exceeded guidance and expanded 53 bps Y/Y, while Operating Income of €582 million was better due to lower Social Charges, favorability in marketing and personnel related costs and Gross Margin strength. Social Charges were €41 million below forecast due to share price movement during the quarter. As a reminder, we do not incorporate share price movements into our forecast since they are beyond our control. Free Cash Flow reached €806 million in Q3, bringing LTM Free Cash Flow to €2.9 billion. Overall, we are very pleased with our performance heading into year-end and view the business as well positioned to deliver growth and improving margins in 2025 as we reinvest to support our long-term potential.

Revenue Profitability Free Cash Flow & Liquidity Gross Margin was 31.6% in Q3, up 53 bps Y/Y reflecting: ● Premium decline driven by video podcast costs, partially offset by Revenue growth outpacing music costs net of marketplace programs and audiobook costs; and ● Ad-Supported gains driven by improved contribution from podcasts and music Operating Income was €582 million in Q3 and reflected the above, along with: ● Higher costs associated with marketing, personnel and related costs (excluding Social Charges) ● Operating Expenses included (€16) million in Social Charges At the end of Q3, our workforce consisted of 7,323 full-time employees globally Revenue of €4,272 million grew 7% Y/Y in Q3 (or 12% Y/Y constant currency*), reflecting: ● Premium Revenue growth of 9% Y/Y (or 13% Y/Y constant currency*), driven by subscriber gains; and ● Ad-Supported Revenue decline of -6% Y/Y (or flat Y/Y constant currency*) ● Unfavorable currency movements slowed Total Revenue Y/Y growth by ~450 bps vs. the ~490 bps incorporated into our guidance Free Cash Flow* was €806 million in Q3. Our liquidity and balance sheet remained strong, with €9.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short term investments. Financial Summary * Constant Currency adjusted measures and Free Cash Flow are non-IFRS measures. See "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" and "Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results" for additional information.

Premium Revenue grew 9% Y/Y to €3,826 million (or 13% Y/Y constant currency*), reflecting subscriber growth of 12% Y/Y and a Premium ARPU** decline of -4% Y/Y to €4.53 (or flat Y/Y constant currency). Excluding the impact of FX, ARPU performance was driven by price increase benefits, offset by product/market mix. Ad-Supported Revenue declined -6% Y/Y (or flat Y/Y constant currency*). On a constant currency basis, growth in music and podcast advertising driven by growth in impressions sold was offset by softness in pricing and optimization of our podcasting inventory in our Owned & Licensed portfolio. Our automated sales channels remained the largest contributors to overall advertising growth. Advertising business transformation continues Revenue * Constant Currency adjusted measures are non-IFRS measures. See "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" and "Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results" for additional information. ** ARPU means Premium Average Revenue per User. *** Last Twelve Months (LTM) represents annual performance covering the preceding 12 months relative to the last day of the quarter. ****Auction-Based Revenue includes biddable sales within the Spotify Ad Exchange and Spotify Ads Manager. Premium growth driven by Subscriber gains
Page 10
Premium Gross Margin was 33.2% in Q3, down 34 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend was driven by video podcast costs (inclusive of costs previously attributable to the Ad-Supported segment), partially offset by Revenue growth outpacing music costs net of marketplace programs and audiobook costs. Gross Margin Driven by continued improvement in Ad-Supported segment Gross Margin finished at 31.6% in Q3, up 53 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend was driven by improvement in our Ad-Supported segment. Ad-Supported Gross Margin was 18.4% in Q3, up 525 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend was driven by improved contribution from podcasts and music.
Page 11
Operating Expenses declined 2% Y/Y in Q3. Absent the effects of Y/Y movements in currency and Social Charges, the ~11% Y/Y increase in Operating Expenses was driven primarily by an increase in marketing and personnel and related costs. The Y/Y increase in marketing was partially driven by campaign timing, while the increase in personnel and related costs was partially driven by a shift in the timing of annual equity grants. As a reminder, Social Charges are payroll taxes associated with employee salaries and benefits in select countries where we operate. Since a portion of these taxes is tied to the intrinsic value of share-based compensation awards, movements in our stock price can lead to fluctuations in the taxes we accrue. Share price movements this quarter resulted in Social Charges coming in €41 million below forecast at (€16) million in current period Operating Expenses. Prior year period Operating Expenses included €53 million in Social Charges. Operating Expenses Y/Y trend led by marketing and personnel costs * Constant Currency adjusted measures are non-IFRS measures. See "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" and "Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results" for additional information. ** Last Twelve Months (LTM) represents annual performance covering the preceding 12 months relative to the last day of the quarter.

Free Cash Flow Record Q3 performance aids balance sheet strength Free Cash Flow* was €806 million in Q3, a record high Q3 as a result of higher Net Income adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by movements in net working capital. Capital expenditures rose €19 million Y/Y to €23 million. While the magnitude of Free Cash Flow can fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on seasonality and timing, we have averaged €1.3 billion of Free Cash Flow on a trailing 12 month basis for the past three years. In Q3, trailing 12 month Free Cash Flow expanded to €2.9 billion, supporting our strong balance sheet and €9.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short term investments balance. We repurchased $77 million in shares in Q3. Year-to-date through November 3rd, we repurchased $410 million in shares. * Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS measure. See "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" and "Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results" for additional information.

Use of Non-IFRS Measures To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the following non-IFRS financial measures: Revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, Premium revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, Ad-Supported revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, gross profit excluding foreign exchange effect, Operating Income excluding foreign exchange effect, Operating expense excluding foreign exchange effect, and Free Cash Flow. Management believes that Revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, Premium revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, Ad-Supported revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, gross profit excluding foreign exchange effect, and Operating expense excluding foreign exchange effect, are useful to investors because they present measures that facilitate comparison to our historical performance. However, these should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, Revenue, Premium revenue, Ad-Supported revenue, Gross Profit, Operating Income, Operating expense, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it presents a measure that approximates the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, to make investments, and for certain other activities that exclude certain infrequently occurring and/or non-cash items. However, Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net cash flows (used in)/from operating activities or other financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. For more information on these non-IFRS financial measures, please see “Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results” section below.

Social Charges Sensitivity Meaningful movements in our stock price can lead to Social Charge variance Our guidance incorporates the impact of Social Charges, the vast majority of which appear in Operating Expenses. The amount of Social Charges we accrue for and ultimately pay can be volatile, as they are tied to the value of our share price. Since we do not forecast stock price changes in our guidance, meaningful movements in our stock price over the course of a quarter can lead to meaningful changes in Social Charges. As an example, at the Q3 close, our stock price was $698. In Q3, a 10% increase or decrease in our stock price compared to the quarter-end price would have an approximate +/- €37M impact on Social Charges.
