Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. *** Last Twelve Months (LTM) represents annual performance covering the preceding 12 months relative to the last day of the quarter. Our business performed well in Q2, led by strength in Subscribers and profitability. Similar to last quarter, MAUs grew 12% Y/Y, with net additions of 16 million slightly below guidance for 17 million. Subscribers outperformed to reach 300 million during the quarter, reflecting 7 million net additions vs. guidance for 6 million. Revenue was in-line with guidance and grew at an accelerated 15% Y/Y on a constant currency* basis. Gross Margin of 33.4% exceeded guidance and expanded 193 bps Y/Y, while Operating Income of €655 million outperformed guidance due to Gross Margin strength and lower Social Charges. Social Charges were €9 million below forecast due to share price movement during the quarter. Free Cash Flow* reached €797 million in Q2, bringing LTM*** Free Cash Flow to €3.3 billion. Overall, we view the business as well positioned to deliver improved growth and margins in 2026 as we reinvest to support our long-term potential.

Revenue Profitability Free Cash Flow & Liquidity Gross Margin was 33.4% in Q2, up 193 bps Y/Y reflecting: ● Premium gains driven by Revenue growth outpacing music costs net of marketplace programs, audiobooks costs and video podcast costs; and ● Ad-Supported gains driven by favorable podcast and tax impacts, which more than offset music costs and Other Costs of Revenue Operating Income was €655 million in Q2 and reflected the above, along with: ● Growth in Operating Expenses driven by temporary investments in marketing and cloud/AI spend (excluding Social Charges) ● Operating Expenses included €1 million in Social Charges on share-based compensation At the end of Q2, our workforce consisted of 7,302 full-time employees globally Revenue of €4,777 million grew 14% Y/Y in Q2 (or 15% Y/Y constant currency*), reflecting: ● Premium Revenue growth of 15% Y/Y (or 16% Y/Y constant currency*), driven by subscriber and ARPU gains; and ● Ad-Supported Revenue growth of 1% Y/Y (or 3% Y/Y constant currency*) ● Unfavorable currency movements slowed Total Revenue Y/Y growth by ~70 bps vs. guidance of ~80 bps Free Cash Flow* was €797 million in Q2. Our liquidity and balance sheet remained strong, with €9.4 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.

Premium Revenue* grew 15% Y/Y to €4,331 million (or 16% Y/Y constant currency**), reflecting 9% Y/Y Subscriber growth and Premium Average Revenue per User (ARPU) of €4.89, up 7% Y/Y (or 7.4% Y/Y constant currency**). Excluding the impact of FX, ARPU growth was driven by price increase benefits, partially offset by product/market mix. Ad-Supported Revenue* grew 1% Y/Y (or 3% Y/Y constant currency**). On a constant currency basis, music advertising performance was driven by growth in impressions sold, partially offset by softness in pricing. Podcasting growth was led by sponsorship gains within our Owned & Licensed portfolio. Automated sales channels remained the largest contributors to overall advertising growth. Advertising business transformation continues Revenue Premium growth driven by Subscriber and ARPU gains * Effective January 1, 2026, certain revenue-generating activities previously reported within the Ad-Supported segment were transferred to the Premium segment to reflect changes in the financial information presented to the Group’s new Co-Chief Executive Officers, who serve as the joint chief operating decision makers.

Premium Gross Margin* was 34.9% in Q2, up 174 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend was driven by Revenue growth outpacing music costs net of marketplace programs, audiobooks costs and video podcast costs. Gross Margin Y/Y improvement driven by Premium and Ad-Supported gains Gross Margin finished at 33.4% in Q2, up 193 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend was driven by improvement in both the Premium and Ad-Supported segments. Ad-Supported Gross Margin* was 19.1% in Q2, up 179 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend was driven by favorable podcast and tax impacts, which more than offset music costs and Other Costs of Revenue. * Effective January 1, 2026, certain revenue-generating activities previously reported within the Ad-Supported segment were transferred to the Premium segment to reflect changes in the financial information presented to the Group’s new Co-Chief Executive Officers, who serve as the joint chief operating decision makers.

Operating Expenses increased 3% Y/Y in Q2. Absent the effects of Y/Y movements in currency and Social Charges, the 19% Y/Y increase in Operating Expenses was primarily driven by an increase in marketing alongside cloud and AI spend in support of growth initiatives. 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 on share-based compensation coming in €9 million below forecast at €1 million in current period Operating Expenses. Prior year period Operating Expenses included €115 million in Social Charges. Operating Expenses Y/Y trend led by marketing and cloud spend * Last Twelve Months (LTM) represents annual performance covering the preceding 12 months relative to the last day of the quarter.
Page 12
Free Cash Flow Record Q2 performance aids balance sheet strength Free Cash Flow* was €797 million in Q2, a record high Q2 as a result of higher Net Income adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by movements in net working capital. Capital expenditures increased €11 million Y/Y to €21 million. In Q2, trailing 12 month Free Cash Flow expanded to €3.3 billion. On a cumulative basis, we have generated €8.8 billion of Free Cash Flow since the beginning of 2016, supporting our strong balance sheet and €9.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short term investments balance. We have repurchased $662 million in shares year-to-date through August 3rd, representing a 30% increase over 2025 levels. In aggregate, we have bought back nearly 2.2 million shares since we resumed repurchase activity in 2025, or approximately 1% of shares outstanding. * 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. Cume represents cumulative performance since the beginning of 2016. ** Last Twelve Months (LTM) represents annual performance covering the preceding 12 months relative to the last day of the quarter.

We use investors.spotify.com and newsroom.spotify.com websites as well as other social media listed in the “Resources – Social Media” tab of our Investors website to disclose material company 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.

A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from our estimates and forward-looking statements is included in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on February 10, 2026, as updated by subsequent reports filed with the SEC.

Social Charges Sensitivity Meaningful movements in our stock price can lead to Social Charge variance Our guidance incorporates the impact of Social Charges on share-based compensation, 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 Q2 close, our stock price was $459.13. In Q2, a 10% increase or decrease in our stock price compared to the quarter-end price would have an approximate +/- €21M impact on Social Charges.
