#1Spotify Q2 2022 Update July 27th, 2022 1#2Table of Contents Spotify Executive Summary Key Highlights Financial Summary MAUS & Subscribers Product & Platform Outlook Financial Statements p.03 p.04 p.06 p.13 p.16 p.20 p.23 2#3Executive Summary Nearly all of our key metrics surpassed guidance in Q2'22, led by MAU and Subscriber outperformance, healthy Revenue growth and a modestly better Operating Loss. Most notably, MAU performance accelerated this quarter, with net additions reaching a record Q2 high of 19 million¹. Reported Gross Margin was negatively impacted by our decision to stop manufacturing Car Thing, partially offset by a positive change in prior period estimates for rights holder liabilities. Excluding the one-time charge and change in accruals, Gross Margin of 25.3%² was modestly ahead of guidance. Free Cash Flow was a positive €37 million. While we continue to monitor the uncertain macro environment, we are very pleased with the resilience of the business, particularly our strength in MAUs and Subscribers.

Excluding the €31 million charge associated with this action and the benefits arising from changes in prior period estimates for rightsholder liabilities in both the Q2'21 and Q2'22 periods, Adjusted Gross Margin¹ was 25.3%, down 123 bps Y/Y, reflecting: Continued growth in Marketplace activity and favorable revenue mix shift to podcasting; offset by Non-music content and product enhancement spend, as well as increased publishing rates Operating Loss of (€194) million reflected the above and Operating Expense growth of 38% Y/Y (or 28% Y/Y constant currency), reflecting: Higher personnel costs primarily due to headcount growth (global ad sales team expansion + acquisitions) and higher advertising costs for growth initiatives (Emerging Markets, Gen Z), partially offset by lower Social Charges Given the geographic mix of employees, currency movements had a negative 968 bps impact on expense growth Free Cash Flow² was €37 million in Q2, a slight increase Y/Y as lower Net Income adjusted for non-cash items was offset by favorability in net working capital. Liquidity remained strong, with €3.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short term investments. At the end of Q2, our workforce consisted of 9,058 FTEs globally. ¹ Adjusted Gross Margin is a non-IFRS measure.

Excluding the impact of FX, ARPU performance benefited from price increases implemented in the prior year period and was offset by growth in multi-user accounts. Ad-Supported % of Total Revenue at new Q2 high Advertising revenue grew 31% Y/Y to reach 13% of Total Revenue, reflecting growth across all regions and sales channels. Our music business saw healthy double-digit growth Y/Y, led by double-digit growth in CPMs and a mid-single digit increase in impressions sold. Podcast revenue grew in the strong double-digit range Y/Y, led by the Spotify Audience Network (where sold impressions grew triple-digits and CPMs grew healthy double-digits).

As stated at our 2022 Investor Day, much of the expense growth we are seeing in Q2 is the result of decisions we made toward the end of 2021 to invest in expanding our global sales team to drive new international ads monetization potential, increased marketing for user growth in many of our newer markets and platform innovation. In June, we announced plans to slow headcount growth by 25% beginning in Q3, while also taking a closer look at marketing activity.

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, Adjusted gross margin, Operating expense excluding foreign exchange effect, Sales and marketing expense excluding foreign exchange effect, Research and development expense excluding foreign exchange effect, General and administrative 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, Adjusted gross margin, Operating expense excluding foreign exchange effect, Sales and marketing expense excluding foreign exchange effect, Research and development expense excluding foreign exchange effect, and General and administrative expense excluding foreign exchange effect are useful to investors because they present measures that facilitate comparison to our historical performance.

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.
