The streaming giant posted an EPS of $-0.42, missing the $2.05 consensus estimate by 120.45%, while revenue of $4.19 billion fell just short of the $4.27 billion Wall Street expected, though it still represented 10.1% growth year-over-year. The core culprit behind the bottom-line miss was a $421 million fair value loss on Spotify's Exchangeable Notes, a non-cash charge tied to the sharp appreciation in the company's share price, which swung net results to a $86 million loss from $274 million in net income a year ago. Strip away that distortion, and the operational picture looks considerably healthier, with operating income climbing to $406 million from $266 million. Premium subscribers grew 12% to 276 million, and total monthly active users reached 696 million, up 11% year-over-year. Despite the strong user momentum, shares came under pressure following the report, with investors weighing the near-term noise from the notes against the company's underlying trajectory.
Key Takeaways
- • 12% growth in Premium Subscribers to 276 million
- • 11% growth in MAUs to 696 million
- • Premium gross margin expansion from 31% to 33% driven by revenue growth outpacing royalty costs
- • Reduction in podcast costs in Ad-Supported segment due to reclassification of video podcast costs to Premium
- • Benefits from marketplace programs
- • Price increases contributing €0.26 to Premium ARPU
