Executive Summary
The business performed very well in Q2, led by
exceptionally strong MAU and Subscriber results. MAU
net additions of 36 million were 21 million above
guidance an all-time high for the company-while
Subscriber net additions of 10 million were 3 million
ahead of guidance and the highest Q2 in company
history. Revenue was in-line with guidance. Reported
Gross Margin and Operating Loss were both primarily
impacted by charges related to our actions to streamline
operations and reduce costs. Excluding these items,
Adjusted Gross Margin* of 25.5% was in-line and up 22
bps Y/Y (consistent with how we guided the quarter).
Adjusted Operating Loss* of (€112) million was better
than guidance, aided by lower marketing spend. Free
Cash Flow* was €9 million in the quarter.
Overall, we are encouraged by the strength we saw in Q2
and our momentum heading into the back half of 2023.
