Regarding the revenue loss in the previous quarter, Spotify stated that in addition to the expenses incurred by some overseas investment projects, it was also related to the fact that many people stopped spending on general entertainment due to the impact of the epidemic. In addition, some of the situation was also related to the impact of the Ukraine-Russia war, which led to the termination of services to Russia.
In order to make up for the revenue gap, Spotify said it will continue to promote the growth of subscribers and increase advertising revenue through the free version. It will also increase more revenue through services such as podcasts and audiobooks.
