Spotify's monthly user numbers miss estimates on lower promotions

Swedish company Spotify reported Q1 results, with monthly active users (MAU) below its own estimates. Although MAUs increased by 19%, it fell short of Spotify's guidance and analysts' expectations. The company also projected Q2 MAUs at 631 million, missing estimates. Despite this, premium subscribers, who are the main source of revenue, grew by 14% to 239 million, in line with estimates. Spotify has been cutting costs, including through layoffs and reduced marketing expenses, to focus on increasing profits. Gross margins rose to 27.6% in Q1, aided by higher profits in the podcast business. Spotify's revenue for the quarter reached 3.64 billion euros ($3.89 billion), exceeding estimates. The company expects revenue to reach 3.8 billion euros in Q2.
