\n\tMonthly active users (MAUs) grew to 777 million, slightly below the projected 778 million, from 761 million in the previous quarter.<\/p>\n

Operating income hit \u20ac655 million ($754 million) in the second quarter, exceeding management guidance and up 61 percent from the year-ago period despite a 3 percent increase in operating expenses, \u201cdriven by temporary investments in marketing and cloud\/AI spend.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tProfitability\u00a0has been in the investor spotlight after price increases\u00a0and cost cuts. Spotify shares dropped more than 4 percent in pre-market trading.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe have a scale that few companies in history have reached, a business that is healthy and compounding, and opportunities only we are positioned to pursue,\u201d said co-CEO Alex Norstr\u00f6m. \u201cSpotify lives across your whole day \u2014 the commute, the workout, studying, gaming, the dinner table, and sleep. At our scale, that is rare\u2026 Our position gives us an opportunity space as wide as our users want it to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added co-CEO Gustav S\u00f6derstr\u00f6m:\u00a0\u201cInvestor Day described where we believe Spotify is going in the future. This quarter demonstrated that we are already building that future: better engineering, faster shipping, new products and new ways for users to engage. We are still in the very early stages of what is possible and will continue to have a high bar for investments.\u201d He concluded: \u201cOur job remains the same: understand the technology early and deeply, and turn it into something people love. Creating value for our stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the third quarter, Spotify predicted 305 million premium subs and 788 million MAUs, as well as operating income of \u20ac\u200b670 million and revenue of \u20ac\u200b5 billion.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur business performed well in the second quarter, led by strength in subscribers and profitability,\u201d Spotify said. \u201cOverall, we view the business as well positioned to deliver improved growth and margins in 2026 as we reinvest to support our long-term potential.\u201d<\/p>\n
