Our MAU performance remained solid, with net additions of 23 million surpassing guidance by 2 million. Subscriber net additions of 6 million were also ahead by 2 million.

Operating Income of €32 million was better due to the higher Gross Margin, as well as lower than expected personnel and related costs and marketing spend.

Overall, we are pleased with our performance in Q3, and view the business as well positioned to drive continued progress towards delivering against our Investor Day goals.

Revenue Profitability Free Cash Flow & Liquidity Revenue of €3,357 million grew 11% Y/Y in Q3 (or 17% Y/Y constant currency*), reflecting: Premium Revenue growth of 10% Y/Y (or 16% Y/Y constant currency*), led by subscriber gains and the early effects of price increases; and Ad-Supported Revenue growth of 16% Y/Y (or 24% Y/Y constant currency*) Gross Margin was 26.4% in Q3, up 166 bps Y/Y reflecting: Improvement in podcast trends, Growth in Marketplace activity, Other Cost of Revenue favorability and A lapping of the prior year period’s €11 million unfavorable change in historical estimates for rights holder liabilities (nearly 40 bps of impact) Operating Income of €32 million reflected the above and an Operating Expense decline of 13% Y/Y (or down 8% Y/Y constant currency*), reflecting: Lower marketing spend and Lower personnel costs and related costs Free Cash Flow* was €216 million in Q3. Our liquidity and balance sheet remained strong, with €3.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short term investments. At the end of Q3, our workforce consisted of 9,241 FTEs globally. Financial Summary * Constant Currency adjusted measures and Free Cash Flow are non-IFRS measures. See "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" and "Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results" for additional information. 8

Revenue * Constant Currency adjusted measures are non-IFRS measures. See "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" and "Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results" for additional information. ARPU means Premium Average Revenue per User. Last Twelve Months (LTM) represents annual performance covering the preceding 12 months relative to the last day of the quarter. Premium growth led by subscribers and pricing Premium Revenue grew 10% Y/Y to €2,910 million (or 16% Y/Y constant currency*), reflecting subscriber growth of 16% Y/Y and a Premium ARPU* decline of 6% Y/Y to €4.34 (or down 1% constant currency*). Excluding the impact of FX, ARPU performance was impacted by product and market mix, which was partially offset by the price increases we began implementing late in the quarter. Re-accelerating Ad-Supported growth Ad-Supported revenue grew 16% Y/Y (or 24% Y/Y constant currency*), reflecting double-digit Y/Y growth across all regions. Music advertising revenue re-accelerated and grew nearly 20% Y/Y, driven by growth in impressions sold and stable pricing. Podcast advertising revenue growth remained in the healthy double-digit range, driven by significant Y/Y growth in sold impressions across Original and Licensed podcasts and the Spotify Audience Network, which was partially offset by softer pricing. The Spotify Audience Network saw double digit Q/Q growth in participating publishers and shows and high single digit Q/Q growth in advertisers. 9

Premium Gross Margin was 29.1% in Q3, up 111 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend reflects improvement in music profitability (aided by Marketplace growth) and Other Cost of Revenue favorability. Gross Margin Podcasting and Marketplace gains + Other Cost of Revenue favorability aid expansion Gross Margin finished at 26.4% in Q3, up 166 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend reflects improvement in podcast trends, growth in Marketplace, Other Cost of Revenue favorability and the lapping of the prior year period’s unfavorable change in historical estimates for rights holder liabilities (nearly 40 bps of impact). Ad-Supported Gross Margin was 8.3% in Q3, up 646 bps Y/Y. The Y/Y trend reflects improvement in podcast trends and music profitability as well as Other Cost of Revenue favorability. 10

Operating Expenses declined 13% Y/Y (or down 8% Y/Y on a constant currency* basis), driven primarily by lower marketing expenses and a decrease in personnel and related costs. Social Charge movements were modestly better than expected but not a meaningful driver of the Y/Y trend. We are encouraged by the early results we have seen from select efficiency initiatives. As a reminder, Social Charges are payroll taxes associated with employee salaries and benefits in select countries where we operate. Since a portion of these taxes is tied to the intrinsic value of share-based compensation awards, movements in our stock price can lead to fluctuations in the taxes we accrue. Operating Expenses Y/Y decline led by lower marketing and personnel costs * Constant Currency adjusted measures are non-IFRS measures. See “Use of Non-IFRS Measures” and “Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Results” for additional information. 11

Free Cash Flow Building and sustaining a strong balance sheet Free Cash Flow was €216 million in Q3, an increase Y/Y as a result of higher Net Income adjusted for non-cash items which was partially offset by reduced favorability in net working capital. Additionally, capital expenditures declined €4 million Y/Y to €1 million as a result of the completion of office build-outs. While the magnitude of Free Cash Flow can fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on seasonality and timing, we have averaged approximately €200 million of positive Free Cash Flow on a trailing 12 month basis for the past three years. On a cumulative basis, we have generated €1.6 billion of Free Cash Flow since the beginning of 2016, supporting our strong balance sheet and €3.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short term investments balance. * Last Twelve Months (LTM) represents annual performance covering the preceding 12 months relative to the last day of the quarter. Cume represents cumulative performance since the beginning of 2016. 12

MAUS & SUBSCRIBERS 13

Total MAUs grew 26% Y/Y to 574 million, up from 551 million last quarter and above our guidance by 2 million. Quarterly performance versus our guidance was impacted by: Sustained double digit Y/Y growth in all regions Outperformance in Rest of World and Latin America Continued performance marketing efficiencies Monthly Active Users (MAUs) 14

Our Premium Subscribers grew 16% Y/Y to 226 million, up from 220 million last quarter.

Use of Non-IFRS Measures To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the following non-IFRS financial measures: Revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, Premium revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, Ad-Supported revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, gross profit excluding foreign exchange effect, Operating expense excluding foreign exchange effect, Sales and marketing expense excluding foreign exchange effect, Research and development expense excluding foreign exchange effect, General and administrative expense excluding foreign exchange effect, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income/(loss), adjusted operating margin, and Free Cash Flow. Management believes that Revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, Premium revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, Ad-Supported revenue excluding foreign exchange effect, gross profit excluding foreign exchange effect, Operating expense excluding foreign exchange effect, Sales and marketing expense excluding foreign exchange effect, Research and development expense excluding foreign exchange effect, General and administrative expense excluding foreign exchange effect, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income/(loss), and adjusted operating margin are useful to investors because they present measures that facilitate comparison to our historical performance.

Management believes that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it presents a measure that approximates the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, to make investments, and for certain other activities that exclude certain infrequently occurring and/or non-cash items. However, Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net cash flows (used in)/from operating activities or other financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
