See "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" and "Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results" for additional information. Our business delivered healthy results in Q2, led by MAU and Subscriber outperformance, Y/Y profitability improvement and strong Free Cash Flow\* generation. The business added 18 million MAU in Q2 vs. guidance for 11 million, while Subscriber net additions of 8 million exceeded guidance by 3 million. Revenue grew 15% Y/Y on a constant currency\* basis reflecting Premium and Ad-Supported growth. Outsized currency movements during the quarter impacted reported Revenue by €104 million vs. guidance. Gross Margin of 31.5% was in-line with guidance and reflected 227 bps of Y/Y expansion. Operating Income of €406 million was below guidance due to €116 million in Social Charges, higher payroll and related expense and Revenue mix shift. Social Charges were €98 million above forecast due to share price appreciation during the quarter. As a reminder, we do not incorporate currency or share price movements into our forecast since they are beyond our control. Free Cash Flow reached €700 million in Q2, bringing LTM Free Cash Flow to €2.8 billion. Overall, we continue to 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 31.5% in Q2, up 227 bps Y/Y reflecting: Premium gains driven by Revenue growth outpacing music costs net of marketplace programs and audiobook costs, partially offset by Spotify Partner Program costs; and Ad-Supported gains driven by improved contribution from podcasts and music Operating Income was €406 million in Q2 and reflected the above, along with: Higher costs associated with personnel and related, professional services and marketing Operating Expenses included €115 million in Social Charges At the end of Q2, our workforce consisted of 7,309 full-time employees globally Revenue of €4,193 million grew 10% Y/Y in Q2 (or 15% Y/Y constant currency\*), reflecting: Premium Revenue growth of 12% Y/Y (or 16% Y/Y constant currency\*), driven by subscriber gains and ARPU increases; and Ad-Supported Revenue decline of -1% Y/Y (or 5% Y/Y growth constant currency\*) Unfavorable currency movements slowed Total Revenue Y/Y growth by ~440 bps vs. the ~170 bps incorporated into our guidance Free Cash Flow\* was €700 million in Q2. Our liquidity and balance sheet remained strong, with €8.4 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. See "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" and "Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results" for additional information.

Advertising business transformation continues Ad-Supported Revenue declined -1% Y/Y (or 5% growth Y/Y constant currency\*, consistent with Q1 trends). On a constant currency basis, music and podcast advertising was driven by growth in impressions sold, partially offset by softness in pricing and optimization of our podcasting inventory in our Owned & Licensed portfolio. Our automated sales channels were the largest contributors to overall advertising growth. 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. Premium growth driven by Subscriber gains Premium Revenue grew 12% Y/Y to €3,740 million (or 16% Y/Y constant currency\*), reflecting subscriber growth of 12% Y/Y and a Premium ARPU\*\* decline of -1% Y/Y to €4.57 (or up 3% Y/Y constant currency). Excluding the impact of FX, ARPU performance was driven by price increase benefits, partially offset by product/market mix.

Premium Gross Margin was 33.1% in Q2, up 171 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend was driven by Revenue growth outpacing music costs net of marketplace programs and audiobook costs, partially offset by Spotify Partner Program costs. Gross Margin Driven by continued improvement across Premium and Ad-Supported segments Gross Margin finished at 31.5% in Q2, up 227 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend was driven by improvements in our Premium and Ad-Supported segments. Ad-Supported Gross Margin was 18.3% in Q2, up 495 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend was driven by improved contribution from podcasts and music.

Operating Expenses increased 8% Y/Y in Q2. Absent the effects of Y/Y movements in currency and Social Charges, the ~5% Y/Y increase in Operating Expenses was driven primarily by an increase in personnel and related costs, professional services and marketing spend. 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. This resulted in Social Charges related to share-based compensation of €115 million in current period Operating Expenses. Prior year period Operating Expenses included €58 million in Social Charges. Operating Expenses Y/Y increases led by payroll and related expenses \* 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 Q2 performance aids balance sheet strength Free Cash Flow\* was €700 million in Q2, a record high Q2 as a result of our Net Loss adjusted for non-cash items and improving net working capital. Capital expenditures rose €8 million Y/Y to €10 million due to office build-out/optimization activities. While the magnitude of Free Cash Flow can fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on seasonality and timing, we have averaged €1.1 billion of positive Free Cash Flow on a trailing 12 month basis for the past three years. In Q2, trailing 12 month Free Cash Flow expanded to €2.8 billion. On a cumulative basis, we have generated €5.5 billion of Free Cash Flow since the beginning of 2016, supporting our strong balance sheet and €8.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short term investments balance. \* 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" to be consistent with other slides. 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.

Capital Allocation Upsizing share repurchase authorization to $2 billion Our approach to capital allocation prioritizes profitable growth while maintaining a balance sheet that can support our long term strategy. To the extent excess capacity arises above these needs, we plan to take our shareholders into consideration. As an initial step in this regard, on July 28th the Board of Directors approved a $1 billion increase to our existing $1 billion share repurchase program (announced in 2021), bringing our total authorization under the program to $2 billion. With $104 million utilized under the existing authorization (from August 2021 through January 2022), the $1 billion increase brings the total remaining authorization to $1.9 billion. The share repurchase authorization expires on April 21st, 2026 and can be renewed by decision at a general meeting of shareholders of the Company. Any repurchase program would be executed in accordance with the Company's capital allocation strategy, the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of ordinary shares and could be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

Webcast Information We will host a live question and answer session starting at 8:00 a.m. ET today on investors.spotify.com. Daniel Ek, our Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Alex Norström, our Co-President and Chief Business Officer, Gustav Söderström, our Co-President and Chief Product & Technology Officer, and Christian Luiga, our Chief Financial Officer will be on hand to answer questions. Questions can be submitted by going to slido.com and using the code #SpotifyEarningsQ225. Participants also may join using the listen-only conference line by registering through the following site: https://registrations.events/direct/Q4I570506211 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 impact, 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.

Our estimates and forward-looking statements are mainly based on our current expectations and estimates of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our businesses and operations. Although we believe that these estimates and forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us. Many important factors may adversely affect our results as indicated in forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: our ability to attract prospective users, retain existing users, and monetize our products and services; competition for users, their time, and advertisers; risks associated with our international operations and our ability to manage our growth and the scope and complexity of our business; risks associated with our new products or services and our emphasis on long-term user engagement over short-term results; our ability to predict, recommend, and play content that our users enjoy; our ability to generate profit or positive cash flow on a sustained basis; our ability to convince advertisers of the benefits of our advertising offerings; our ability to forecast or optimize advertising inventory amid evolving industry trends in digital advertising; our ability to generate revenues from podcasts, audiobooks, and other non-music content; potential disputes or liabilities associated with content made available on our premium service and ad-supported service (collectively, the "Service"); risks relating to acquisitions, investments, and divestitures; our dependence upon third-party licenses for most of the content we stream; our lack of control over third-party content providers who are concentrated and can unilaterally affect our access to content; our ability to comply with complex license agreements; our ability to accurately estimate royalty payments under our license agreements and relevant statutes; the limitations on our operating flexibility due to financial commitments required under certain of our license agreements; our ability to identify the compositions embodied in sound recordings and ownership thereof in order to obtain licenses or comply with existing license agreements; assertions by third parties of infringement or other violations by us of their intellectual property rights; our ability to protect our intellectual property; the dependence of streaming on operating systems, online platforms, hardware, networks, regulations, and standards that we do not control; our ability to maintain the integrity of our technology infrastructure and systems or the security of confidential information; undetected errors, misconfigurations, bugs, or vulnerabilities in our products and services; interruptions, delays, or discontinuations in service arising from our systems or systems of third parties; changes in laws or regulations affecting us; risks relating to privacy and data security, content moderation, and use of artificial intelligence; our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our brand; risks associated with increased scrutiny of environmental, social, and governance matters; payment acceptance-related risks; our dependence on key personnel and ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly skilled employees; our ability to access additional capital to support strategic objectives; risks relating to currency exchange rate fluctuations and foreign exchange controls; the impact of economic, social, or political conditions, including inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in trade policies, geopolitical conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, and related market uncertainty; our ability to accurately estimate user metrics and other estimates; our ability to manage and remediate attempts to manipulate streams and attempts to gain or provide unauthorized access to certain features of our Service; risks related to our indebtedness, including risks related to our Exchangeable Notes; fluctuation of our operating results and fair market value of ordinary shares; tax-related risks; the concentration of voting power among our founders, which limits shareholders' ability to influence our governance and business; and risks related to our status as a foreign private issuer and a Luxembourg company. 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 5, 2025, 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, 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 $767.34. In Q2, a 10% increase or decrease in our stock price compared to the quarter-end price would have an approximate +/- €41M impact on Social Charges.
