Spotify Surges After Reporting First Full-Year Profit

Record Subscriber Growth and Strategic Overhaul Drive Strong Financial Results

Spotify Technology (SPOT) reported its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday, surpassing revenue expectations and achieving its first-ever full-year profit. The audio streaming giant’s strong performance propelled its stock up by 10% in early trading, marking a dramatic turnaround after years of financial challenges. Over the past year, Spotify’s shares have soared approximately 170%, reaching all-time highs.

The company added 35 million monthly active users (MAUs) in Q4, bringing the total to 675 million—exceeding analysts’ expectations of 665 million. This represents the largest fourth-quarter increase in Spotify’s history. The company anticipates MAUs to hit 678 million in Q1 2025, continuing its upward trajectory.

Spotify posted a Q4 profit of €367 million (€1.76 per share), a significant improvement from the €70 million loss (€0.36 per share) in the same period last year. Although slightly below the €1.89 per share expected by analysts, the profit marks a major milestone for the company. Gross margins also hit a record 32.2%, driven by Spotify’s efficiency strategy, and the company set quarterly record highs for revenue, operating income, and free cash flow.

CEO Daniel Ek highlighted 2025 as “the year of accelerated execution,” emphasizing growth alongside improved profitability. “We’re going to double down on music and be very disciplined while doing it,” Ek stated, noting that advancements in AI would further enhance Spotify’s product offerings.

Spotify’s financial success follows an intense business overhaul, including mass layoffs, executive changes, and a strategic pivot away from podcasts—a sector the company had heavily invested in. This shift, along with a new multiyear distribution deal with Universal Music Group, has contributed to the company’s resurgence from record lows in 2022.

Looking ahead, Spotify expects Q1 gross margins to reach 31.5%, slightly down from Q4 but still above Wall Street’s 31.2% forecast. Management cited seasonal trends, particularly weaker ad sales in Q1, as the reason for the slight decline. Nonetheless, Spotify’s robust growth and profitability signal a promising future for the streaming giant.
