Executive Summary
We ended 2022 with strong Q4 performance as nearly
all of our KPIs surpassed guidance. MAU net additions
reached a quarterly record-high of 33 million in Q4, 10
million above guidance. Subscriber growth also
materially outperformed, exceeding guidance by 3
million net additions. Revenue growth, excluding the
impact of changes in FX, was ahead of expectations.
Gross Margin exceeded guidance by 80 bps due
primarily to lower investment spending and
broad-based music favorability. As expected, our Free
Cash Flow was negative in the quarter; however, full
year Free Cash Flow remained positive and we expect
this trend to continue moving forward on a full year
basis.
Looking back on 2022 in its entirety, we are pleased
with our overall results. Each year presents certain
challenges and opportunities and, over the past 12
months, we largely delivered on our internal goals and
we are excited about the momentum we are building
heading into 2023.
