Spotify dragged 5 million new premium subscribers in the 2025 primary quarter, its highest first-quarter beneficial properties in five years, but macroeconomic uncertainty could bring some recent “noise”, said CEO and founder Daniel Ek.
Audio streaming numbers gained 3 million internets, with new and vibrant customers receiving $678 million each month (aligned with the steering), while 5 million premium internet pushes it to 268 million paid subscribers (Topping Spotify’s expectations for 20 million new premium subscribers for the internet). Still, this means Spotify notices that its service's free ad-supported model has slightly lower customers.
In line with the previous shift, full Q1 revenue rose by 15% to 4.19 billion euros. Spotify's job revenue doubled to €509 million, but the document is too much but hopes for its €548 million forecast. The company's internet revenues arrived here at 225 million euros, up 14% from 190 million euros per year.
Analysts warn that given the Trump administration's expected macroeconomic uncertainty about macroeconomic uncertainty, it is more likely to slowly stagnate in the forward Spotify's progress in revenue promotion.
Advertising revenue increased by 8% year-on-year to 419 million euros in the first quarter, down 22% in turn from the fourth quarter of 2024.
For the second quarter, the company expects revenue of €4.3 billion (probably up 13%), job revenue of €539 million and gross margin of 31.5%. Spotify's turnaround suggests it is expected to include 11 million Internet new Maus (below Wall Road estimates) and 5 million premium subscribers (predicted above) in the June 2025 quarter.
“The basic information in the middle time can be very healthy: too high engagement, strong retention, and because of our freemium models, individuals have the flexibility to stick to our flexibility even if the problem does feel uncertain,” Ek said in his ready-made remarks. “It is certain that short periods of time may bring some noise, but we guarantee in the long-term story that the route we are taking is clearer than ever.”
Spotify noted that it paid more than $100 million to podcasts and creators worldwide during the first quarter — the company disclosed the main time of the metric. Payments cover every ad-based revenue sharing and revenue generated by the just-launched Spotify Associate program, which is based primarily on time premium customers to watch their exhibits to pay for video podcast creators.
Currently, Spotify offers approximately 7 million podcast titles, as well as 330,000 video podcasts. More than a billion customers are listening to podcasts about the service based on the company's listening experience.
The result comes after Spotify released its first full-year revenue for 2024. In 2025, EK said that in January, the company will “double its music in 2025, and I personally am very enthusiastic about it.”
