Executive 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.
