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.
