Executive Summary
The majority of our key metrics surpassed guidance in
Q3'22, led by MAU and Subscriber outperformance and
healthy Revenue growth. Similar to last quarter, MAU
growth saw notable acceleration, with net additions
reaching a record Q3 high of 23 million, while
Subscribers came in 1 million ahead of guidance. Gross
Margin came in below expectations, mainly due to an
unfavorable adjustment to prior period estimates for
rights holder liabilities. We also saw a margin impact due
to slower than forecast advertising growth given the
challenging macro environment. Free Cash Flow was a
positive €35 million in the quarter.
Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, we are generally
pleased with our overall results. We remain focused on
delivering against the objectives we shared at our 2022
Investor Day while maintaining a strong balance sheet
profile.
