INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 202 5 TRUECALLER AB
Significant events during the quarter
• Continued high user growth. During the quarter, the average number of monthly active users excluding
iOS (MAU) increased to 441.7 million, which is an increase of 15 percent compared to the third quarter of
2024. The average number of daily active users (DAU), excluding iOS, increased to 379.3 million, an
increase of 17 percent compared to the same period in 2024. Compared to the second quarter of 2025,
the number of MAU increased by approximately 15 million and DAU by over 12 million.
• Advertising revenue is estimated to have decreased by 1 percent in constant currencies and with 10
percent in SEK. In MEA (Middle East and Africa) and the rest of the world, sales increased in local
currency, while they decreased slightly in local currency in India. The period started relatively strong, but
after an unannounced algorithm change from our largest ad network partner, the number of ad views
on Truecaller decreased. Since then, intensive work has been underway to mitigate the effects of the
algorithm change. In parallel, Truecaller has continued to execute its long-term strategy of diversifying
ad revenues through collaborations with more ad networks, increased direct sales, and more diversified
geographical sales. Since 2022, the share of revenue from the two largest networks has successively
decreased from 70% of total revenue to 45% of total revenue due to Truecallers strategy to diversify ad
revenue sources with additional demand platforms and due to the strong growth in Truecallers recurring
revenues.
• Truecaller's growth in paying subscribers was a record high, and subscription revenues increased by
55 percent in local currency and by 43 percent in SEK. The average number of paying subscribers
increased by 310,000 during the quarter. This was an increase of 34% compared to the previous year and
10% compared to the previous quarter. Subscriber growth was strong on both iOS and Android. The
Family Plan continued to grow strongly. Revenues were driven by both a higher conversion rate, 0.69%
(0.59% during the corresponding quarter in 2024), to paying users — and an increase in average revenue
per paying user (ARPU) to SEK 10.04 per month (SEK 9.23). The number of paying users on iOS increased
by approximately 20 percent during the quarter. On iOS, the conversion rate is now 3.46% (2.58%) and
ARPU is SEK 13.57 (SEK 13.07). The relative growth of subscription revenue is higher on iOS than on Android.
iOS accounted for 47% (42%) of premium revenues, but revenues are increasing significantly from both
platforms. Subscription revenues increased in all regions, and the largest part of the growth came from
regions outside India and the Middle East/Africa.
• Revenue from Truecaller for Business (TfB) increased by approximately 39 percent in fixed currencies
and by 21 percent in SEK. All parts of the enterprise business—Verified Business, Business Messaging, and
risk products—showed good growth. Within Verified Business, ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) in
constant currency was 43% higher compared to the third quarter last year and 13% higher than the end
of the second quarter. Growth continues to be driven by a combination of new sales and existing
customers utilizing more products and/or expanding agreements to more countries or a larger part of
their operations. Revenue churn remains very low. The strongest relative revenue growth is happening
outside India, but revenues continue to develop strongly in India as well. Growth within Truecaller's risk
product, Number Intelligence, continued to increase with several agreements signed with prominent
customers in banking and finance, as well as credit reporting agencies. Business Messaging continued to
show growth compared to the same period last year. However, growth has temporarily flattened out as a
result of our choice not to deliver large volumes of marketing messages.
• Truecaller launched the AI platform advantage that uses advanced machine learning and real-time
data to help companies deliver more accurate messages, create stronger engagement, and drive better
business results. The platform, which continuously learns from user interactions and refines results, has
been tested with very good results within Truecaller's advertising business and for business messages.
Events after the period
• On October 9, Truecaller surpassed 450 million monthly active users on Android. This corresponds to a
growth of just over 50 million users compared to the end of 2024.
• Verified Business (VB) is launched in Europe. As part of the geographical expansion of Truecaller's
enterprise products, VB was launched in Europe. The platform contains a multitude of features that help
companies build trust, increase answer rates, and improve engagement by turning previously unknown
business calls into verified, context-driven interactions.

Strong growth in recurring revenue and users,
ads impacted by external challenges
During the third quarter, we continued to see very strong growth in both our recurring revenue streams.
Premium subscription revenues grew by 55% in constant currency, on the back of increasing
conversions of non-paying users on both Android and iOS. We achieved an all-time high growth in the
number of subscribers during the quarter, reflecting strong product engagement and continued
consumer demand.
We also saw continuing robust growth of Truecaller for Business, where revenues grew with 39% in
constant currency, supported by continued low churn, increasing enterprise adoption and geographical
diversification. Growing recurring revenues continues to be one of our most important strategic goals,
and we will intensify our efforts here even further going forward.
Our ads business experienced a challenging environment and revenues declined with 1% in constant
currency. The quarter started really well, with increasing demand in July to mid August. However,
factors outside of our control, namely, macro-economic uncertainty due to the ongoing trade tariff
discussions and the regulatory ban on Real Money Gaming (RMG) in India, then started to have a
negative impact on the overall demand in the Indian ads market. Effects from FX continued to be part of
the headwinds we faced as well. On top of this, our largest advertising network partner made a change
in their algorithm in relation to click through tracking, without prior notice or detailed clarification,
causing a downturn in revenues to us and several other large publishers. This, despite no change in user
behavior or ad delivery on our platform. This issue significantly contributed to weaker ad revenues
toward the second half of the quarter. Of course, we have been and will continue working tirelessly to
recover from this and will not rest until it is fully resolved.
CEO WORD Q3 2025

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 202 5 TRUECALLER AB
Albeit having a negative revenue effect now, these
developments strengthen the conviction in our strategy to
diversify our revenue streams and our revenue sources
within ads, and focus on a less volatile growth trajectory
that we are in full control of. Our ads business fundamentals
are healthy, but what got us this far will not take us to the
next phase of growth. We continue to execute towards our
long-term strategic targets; a material pivot towards more
direct ad sales, more ads traffic based on our own ads
platform and a more diversified geographical mix. We are
strengthening our capacity to execute on those targets,
and are signing up both more direct ads customers from a
wider range of verticals and new demand partners
continuously. Another important component in this
strategy was the launch in Q3 of adVantage, our proprietary
AI-powered recommendation engine which allows for
precise segmentation and targeting using AI. The platform
has been tested during the year and has consistently
delivered improve d ROI to both, our ads business and
Truecaller for Business, and is now being scaled up further.
During the last three years we have significantly reduced
our dependency on our two largest ad partners, from 71% of
total revenues in 2022 to approximately 45% in Q3 2025. We
will continue this diversification, which over time will
enhance our ability to navigate market fluctuations while
creating a more robust growth foundation for the future.
In terms of financials, total net sales grew by 2% during the
quarter (14% in constant currency). EBITDA decreased by 3%
(14% growth in constant currency) while maintaining an
EBITDA-margin of 34.7 % (36.6% in constant currency).
User engagement and adoption continue to be very strong,
highlighting the relevance and trust in our platform. We
have now surpassed 450 million active users globally on
Android, and subscription growth remains strong across
both iOS and Android, demonstrating widespread demand
for safer and more reliable communication.
Consequently, we continue to invest —
both in our advertising business and, even
more strategically, in our recurring revenue
streams, as well as product development for
our existing customers. We are confident
that this over time will translate into highe r
overall ARPU and revenue growth which will
benefit our shareholders.
We’re a t a stage where our long -term ambitions remain
fully attainable —but they demand sustained focus and
commitment. External headwinds, such as FX fluctuations
and advertising market fluctuations, mean that meeting
our financial target for 2025 has become more challenging
than initially expected. At the same time, our user base and
overall growth opportunities have expanded beyond what
we anticipated. Consequently, we continue to invest — both
in our advertising business and, even more strategically, in
our rec urring revenue streams, as well as product
development for our existing customers. We are confident
that this over time will translate into higher overall ARPU and
revenue growth which will benefit our shareholders.
Since I took over as CEO at the beginning of this year, we
have had our fair share of market volatility and external
challenges, and there is work to be done to overcome those
fully. But the team and I are laser focused on aspects of our
business that we c an control — global user growth,
premium subscriber growth, enterprise ARR, direct ad sales,
and partner diversification — all of which are progressing
well. This accelerates our strategic progress and positions
Truecaller for renewed ads momentum. Our rec urring
revenue streams continue to grow at a high and steady
rate, and disregarding the FX headwinds, we continue to
show good overall growth.
I am confident that our products and services will continue
to see increasing demand, and that we will continue to be
the best solution globally for safe and secure voice and
messaging communication.

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 202 5 TRUECALLER AB
Financial performance
Third quarter 2025 (July-September)
Revenues
Total revenues during the third quarter increased by 4
percent compared to the corresponding quarter the
previous year and amounted to SEK 476.7 (458.9) million.
Currency effects had a substantial negative effect on
revenues during the quarter. The increase in constant
curencies is estimated to have been 15 percent. Other
income amounted to SEK 8.8 (1.5) million.
Net sales amounted to SEK 467.9 (457.3) million during the
third quarter, a n inc rease by 2 percent compared to the
corresponding quarter the previous year. Net sales growth
in constant currencies is estimated to have been 14 percent,
see Currency exposure below.
Net sales distributed by region
Net sales increased by 15 percent in the Middle East & Africa
(MEA) to SEK 73.8 million (SEK 64.5 million) and by 21 percent
in the Rest of the World (RoW) to SEK 78.2 million (SEK 64.6
million), and decreased by 4 percent in India to SEK 315.9
million (SE K 328.2 million). Sales growth in all reported
regions was negatively affected by the strengthened
Swedish Krona (SEK).
Net sales distributed by service
Ad revenues decreased by 10 percent to SEK 290.2 million
(SEK 322.6 million). In fixed currencies, ad revenues are
estimated to have decreased by 1 percent.
Ad revenue per daily active user (DAU), excluding iOS,
decreased to SEK 0.77 (SEK 0.99) and decreased by 1 5
percent in fixed currencies. The decrease in ad revenue per
daily active user is a combination of a weaker advertising
market and user growth in markets, such as Africa, where
purchasing power is relatively low so far, but where
Truecaller sees significant long -term revenue
opportunities.
Ad revenues in fixed currencies increased in MEA (Middle
East & Africa) and RoW (Rest of the World) but decreased
in India. In Swedish Krona, ad revenues decreased in India,
increased slightly in MEA, and decreased slightly in RoW.
Average prices for Truecaller's advertising products (CPM)
decreased in SEK but increased slightly in fixed currencies
compared to the same period last year. The number of ad
impressions that generated revenue for Truecaller
decreased by approximately 10 p ercent. Ad impressions
and revenue from Truecaller's largest ad partner
decreased significantly in the middle of the quarter after an
unannounced algorithm change. Truecaller continues to
work on the long-term strategy of diversifying ad revenues
both in t erms of channels and geography. Ad revenues
from channels outside the two largest ad networks
continued to show growth.
Revenues from premium subscriptions increased by 43
percent to SEK 87.1 million (SEK 67.3 million). Revenue growth
in fixed currencies amounted to 56 percent. The strongest
relative revenue growth was noted on iOS. Premium
revenues are growing steadily as a result of an improved
offering, with more features launched in combination with
more targeted marketing of the premium service. The
average number of paying users increased by 34 percent
compared to the same quarter last year and amounted to
3.30 million (2.46 million). The conversion rate to paying
users continued to increase and averaged 0.69% (0.59)
during the quarter. The average revenue per user also
increased, amounting to SEK 10.04 (SEK 9.23). The growth in
average revenue per user was higher in lo cal currencies.
Revenue from iOS accounts for approximately 47% (42%) of
total premium revenue, and the average number of
subscribers on iOS increased by 59 percent compared to
the same period last year and by 20 percent compared to
the previous quarter. The conversion rate on iOS amounted
to 3.36% (2.58%) and the average monthly revenue per user
amounted to SEK 13.57 (SEK 13.07). Revenues grew steadily
in all regions, with the fastest growth in the Rest of the World,
which now accounts for almost half of t he revenue from
premium subscriptions.
Revenues from Truecaller for Business increased by 21
percent to SEK 79.9 million (SEK 65.8 million). In fixed
currencies, growth is estimated at 39 percent. Revenues
developed positively in all revenue areas: Verified Business,
Business Messaging, and risk products. For Verified
Business, Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increased by 25
percent to SEK 251 million (SEK 200 million). The growth in
ARR in fixed currencies amounted to approximately 43
percent compared to the same period last year. A growing
number of customers choose longer contracts and
packages that include more of the products Truecaller has
developed for businesses, which increases the revenue per
customer. Truecaller's business services are highly valued
by customers, resulting in a low numb er of cancellations.

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 202 5 TRUECALLER AB
Revenue churn from such cancellations in relation to total
revenues averaged approximately 2.7 percent (4.0%)
during the quarter. Through a partnership with the CPaaS
company Tanla, Truecaller also sends B2C messages to its
users. The volume of business me ssages increased
compared to the previous year, and 3.9 billion (3.4 billion)
messages were sent during the quarter. Revenues from
Truecaller's risk products increased during the quarter, with
more agreements signed with customers in sectors such as
finance.
Other revenues within net sales amounted to SEK 8.8 million
(SEK 1.5 million).
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by 1 percent to SEK 354.3 million (SEK
351.9 million) compared to the same period last year. The
gross margin amounted to 75.7 percent (77.0 percent). The
lower gross margin is a combination of a slight increase in
the average commis sion paid to advertising partners and
slightly higher server and verification costs. The gross
margin is mainly affected by fees paid to partners such as
Google and Apple, as well as costs for the verification of
new users and for the servers used for the company's
services.
Operating profit
EBITDA excluding costs for incentive programs decreased
by 1 percent and amounted to SEK 186.2 million (SEK 187.3
million), with an EBITDA margin excluding incentive costs of
39.8 percent (41.0 percent). Growth in fixed currencies
amounted to approximately 14 percent.
EBITDA including costs for incentive programs decreased
by 3 percent to SEK 162.6 million (SEK 167.4 million), with an
EBITDA margin of 34.8 percent (36.6 percent). In fixed
currencies, EBITDA increased by approximately 1 4 percent
compared to the same period last year.
Operating profit (EBIT) decreased by 6 percent to SEK 145.9
million (SEK 154.7 million), corresponding to an operating
margin of 31.2 percent (33.8 percent).
Staff costs during the quarter increased by 8 percent to SEK
111.9 million (SEK 103.5 million). Salary costs primarily
increased as a result of the annual salary adjustment that
takes effect at the beginning of the second quarter, as well
as slightly increased costs for incentive programs. Staff
costs excluding incentive programs increased by 6 percent
and amounted to SEK 88.3 million (SEK 83.6 million).
The Group's long -term incentive program resulted in a
salary-related cost of SEK 38.0 million (SEK 16.7 million) with
a corresponding increase in equity, and social security
contributions of SEK -14.4 million (SEK 3.2 million) which is
reported as a provis ion in the balance sheet. The costs for
the incentive programs consist of provisions for estimated
social security contributions when employee stock options
or RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) are exercised by Swedish
employees, and an accounting cost for the potential
dilution that arises through stock options and RSUs. Only the
social security contributions affect cash flow —and only if
and when options or RSUs are redeemed. The salary -
related costs increased due to the launch of the annual
incentive program for 2025. Incentive costs related to salary
are valued at fair value and are amortized over the
program's term. The social security contributions are
affected by the share price at each reporting date and may
therefore amount to higher sums in the event of a positive
share price development, which can create volatility in the
income statement. See further information in note 5.
Other external costs increased by 7 percent to SEK 88.6
million (SEK 82.6 million) compared to the same period last
year.
Profit and earnings per share for the period
Profit before tax decreased by 8 percent to SEK 148.4 million
(SEK 158.2 million). Net profit for the period after tax
amounted to SEK 108.5 million (SEK 117.8 million). Net
financial income amounted to SEK 2.6 million (SEK 3.5
million).
The total tax expense amounted to SEK 39.9 million (SEK 40.3
million), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 26.9
percent (25.5 percent) for the Group. The effective tax rate
is a combination of the Swedish and Indian corporate tax
rates, and as an inc reasing share of the Group's profit is
allocated to India, the tax rate is expected to gradually
increase. However, there are also some variations between
the quarters.
Earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 0.32
(SEK 0.34) and after dilution to SEK 0.32 (SEK 0.34).
Cash flow and financial position
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 26.0
million (SEK 121.7 million), of which SEK -81,0 million (SEK -19.9
million) is attributable to changes in working capital and
SEK -70.4 million (SEK -44.6 million) is attributable to paid
income tax. The changes in working capital is mainly
attributable to the vesting of incentive programs that took
place in June but had cash flow effects between Q2 and Q3
and change in accounts pa yable. Paid tax is expected to
decrease in the fourth quarter as the estimated preliminary
tax in Sweden has been adjusted based on the year's actual
outcome. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to
SEK 16.9 million (SEK -201.9 million) and included
investments in short -term interest funds of SEK ( -) (SEK -
200 million). Cash flow from financing activities amounted
to SEK -77,4 million (SEK -88.7 million) and included
repurchases of own shares of SEK -73.3 million (SEK -80.4
million). Net cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -34,5
million (SEK -169.0 million).
At the end of the quarter, Truecaller had cash and cash
equivalents amounting to SEK 395.3 million (SEK 334.4
million) and SEK 595.1 million (SEK 771.6 million) placed in
short-term interest funds. The solvency ratio amounted to
72.7 percent (77.6 percent).

Truecaller has a revolving corporate credit facility of SEK
500.0 million (SEK 500.0 million). As of the balance sheet
date, SEK - (-) million had been utilized. The revolving
corporate credit facility is available until 2028.
The Group's total assets as of September 30, 2025,
amounted to SEK 1,703.1 million (SEK 1,737.6 million). The
carrying amounts for financial assets and financial
liabilities are assessed to substantially correspond to their
fair value.
The Group's trade receivables amounted to SEK 127.4 million
(SEK 110.4 million) and receivables from advertising
networks and platform owners amounted to SEK 120.9
million (SEK 124.1 million). Compared to the previous quarter,
trade receivables decreased. The increase in trade
receivables compared to the previous year is primarily due
to the growth of Truecaller for Business, as well as increased
direct ad sales to end customers and via new ad network
partners. Payment terms for the company's customers are
normally 30–90 days. Truecaller closely monitors customer
payments to ensure that overdue payments are kept as low
as possible. Customers who do not pay according to
business agreements are terminated. Reported but not yet
realized customer credit losses i n the balance sheet
amounted to SEK 9.6 million (SEK 2.3 million) as of
September 30, 2025. Receivables from advertising networks
and platform owners are mainly linked to outstanding
receivables from platforms like Google.
Investments
During the third quarter of 202 5, SEK 8.7 (1.5) million were
capitalized as internally developed intangible assets.
Truecaller capitalizes certain R&D investments where future
financial benefits can be accurately forecasted. Most of the
Group’s R&D work is however taken as a direct cost, as the
future financial benefits of on-going R&D work is difficult to
forecast accurately.
Currency exposure
The majority of Truecaller's revenues are denominated in
Swedish Krona (SEK) through partners such as Google and
Apple. Therefore, there is limited direct currency risk
exposure. These partners, in turn, invoice users of
Truecaller's services partly in local currencies, which entails
an indirect currency risk exposure for Truecaller. However,
Truecaller does not have complete information on the
currency risk or how the currency impact is managed by
the partners and can therefore currently not quantify the
indirect currency risk with precision.
The largest currency risks are connected to INR (Indian
Rupee) and USD (US Dollar). A weakening of the SEK against
these currencies has a positive effect on the company's
sales and earnings, even though it simultaneously
increases the company's costs.
The company estimates that exchange rate changes had
a negative impact on net sales of approximately SEK 51
million during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the
corresponding quarter in 2024. This was due to a
strengthening of the SEK against most foreign currencies,
on average by 12% against the INR and 9% against the USD,
compared to the same period in 20 24. The company also
estimates that exchange rate changes had a negative
effect on EBITDA of approximately SEK 28 million,
corresponding to approximately 1.9 percentage points on
the EBITDA margin.
Parent company
Parent company income for the quarter amounted to SEK
2.5 (1.9) million which refers to billing of subsidiaries for
services rendered. The profit before tax amounted to SEK -
5.9 (-6.1) million. The profit after tax amounted to SEK -4.7 (-
4.9) million. Cash and cash equivalents on 30 September
2025 amounted to SEK 44.1 (29.8) million. In addition to the
cash and cash equivalents the parent company has SEK
173.7 (260.3) million invested in short -term interest rate
funds. No investments have taken place in intangible or
tangible assets. At the end of the period, 1 (2) person was
employed in the parent company.

million), an increase of 9 percent compared to the
corresponding period last year. Truecaller's estimate is that
net sales growth in fixed currencies was 18 percent, see the
section on Currency Exposure below.
Net sales distributed by region
Net sales in India increased by 5 percent to SEK 1,025.7
(978.7), by 21 percent to SEK 215.6 (177.5) million in Africa and
the Middle East and by 19 percent to SEK 219.9 (184.2) million
in the Rest of the world. The sales growth in in all reported
regions was negatively affected by the strengthened SEK.

Ad revenues in SEK decreased by approximately 2 percent
to SEK 955.2 million (SEK 972.6 million). Truecaller estimates
that ad revenues increased by 6 percent in fixed currencies.
Truecaller's direct sales increased and contributed
positively to the gross margin during the period.
Ad revenue per daily active user (DAU), excluding iOS,
decreased to SEK 2.60 (SEK 3.09). The decrease in fixed
currencies was approximately 9 percent.
All regions increased revenues in fixed currencies, and the
strongest growth was reported in MEA, where both the
increased number of users and higher average price per ad
impression contributed positively.
The average prices for Truecaller's advertising products
(CPM) decreased slightly in SEK but increased slightly in
fixed currencies compared to the same period last year.
The number of ad impressions that generated revenue for
Truecaller increased by approximately 2 percent
compared to the same period last year.
Revenues from premium subscriptions increased by 40
percent to SEK 265.5 million (SEK 190.1 million). Revenue
growth in fixed currencies was approximately 49 percent.
The strongest relative revenue growth occurred on iOS. All
regions showed strong growth.

growth in fixed currencies was approximately 5 0 percent.
All parts of the business —Verified Business, Business
Messaging, and risk products—noted strong growth.
Other revenues within net sales amounted to SEK 28.2
million (SEK 7.4 million).
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by 10 percent to SEK 1,121.9 million (SEK
1,018.5 million) compared to the same period last year. The
gross margin amounted to 76.8 percent (76.0 percent). The
increased gross margin was primarily due to a growing
enterprise business and stable costs for servers and
verification. The gross margin is mainly affected by fees
paid to partners such as Google and Apple, as well as costs
for the verification of new users and for the servers used for
the company's services.
Operating profit :
EBITDA excluding costs for incentive programs increased by
13 percent and amounted to SEK 596.4 million (SEK 526.5
million), and the EBITDA margin excluding incentive costs
was 40.8 percent (39.3 percent). Growth in fixed currencies
was approximately 26 percent.
EBITDA including costs for incentive programs was stable
and reached SEK 484.4 million (SEK 483.1 million), with an
EBITDA margin of 33.1 percent (36.0 percent). In fixed
currencies, EBITDA increased by approximately 1 4 percent
compared to the same period last year.
Operating profit (EBIT) decreased by 2 percent and
amounted to SEK 436.5 million (SEK 444.3 million),
corresponding to an operating margin of 29.9 percent (33.1
percent).
Staff costs during the period increased to SEK 389.7 million
(SEK 299.7 million). Salary costs increased primarily due to
the annual salary adjustment that takes effect at the

incentive costs was 8 percent to SEK 277.7 million (SEK 256.3
million).
The Group's long -term incentive program resulted in a
salary-related cost for the period of SEK 94.3 million (SEK
37.4 million) with a corresponding increase in equity, and
social security contributions of SEK 17.6 million (SEK 6.0
million) which are repor ted as a provision in the balance
sheet. The costs for the incentive programs consist of
provisions for estimated social security contributions when
employee stock options or RSUs are exercised by Swedish
employees, as well as an accounting cost for potent ial
dilution from options and RSUs. Only the social security
contributions affect cash flow, and only when the options or
RSUs are utilized. The salary-related costs increased due to
the introduction of a new program in 2025. Salary -related
incentive costs are valued at fair value and are amortized
over the program's term. The social security contributions
are affected by the share price at the end of each reporting
period and may therefore be higher with positive share
price development, which can create v olatility in the
income statement. More information can be found in Note
5.
Other external costs increased to SEK 276.0 million (SEK
243.0 million) compared to the same period last year. The
main drivers for the increase were investments in
marketing costs, including for the new iOS app during the
first quarter of 2025, and slight ly higher growth -related
costs.
Profit and earnings per share for the period
Profit before tax decreased to SEK 455.3 million (SEK 496.3
million). Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK
328.2 million (SEK 373.9 million).
Net financial income amounted to SEK 18.8 million (SEK 52.0
million). The lower net financial income is mainly due to less
favorable changes in the value of short -term interest -
bearing securities and less favorable currency movements.
The total tax expense amounted to SEK 127.0 million (SEK
122.4 million), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 27.9
percent (24.7 percent) for the Group. The effective tax rate
is a combination of the Swedish and Indian corporate tax
rates, and as an i ncreasing share of the Group's profit is
allocated to India, the tax rate is expected to gradually
increase. However, there are variations between the
quarters.
Cash flow and financial position
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 397.8
million (SEK 361.7 million), of which SEK 1. 7 million (SEK -70.9
million) is attributable to changes in working capital and
SEK -191.2 million (SEK -130.9 million) is attributable to paid
income tax. Paid tax is expected to decrease in the fourth
quarter of 2025 due to an adjustment of preliminary ta x
payments. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to
SEK 219,9 million (SEK 192.2 million) and included the sale of
short-term interest funds of S EK 350.0 million (SEK 400.0
million) as well as an investment in short -term interest
funds of SEK -100.0 million (SEK -200 million). Cash flow from
financing activities amounted to SEK -669.0 million (SEK -
850.1 million) and included repurchases of own shares of
SEK -90.1 million (SEK -217.8 million) and paid dividends
amounting to SEK -583.2 million (SEK -589.8 million). Net
cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -51.2 million (SEK

At the end of the quarter, Truecaller had cash and cash
equivalents amounting to SEK 395.3 million (SEK 334.4
million) and SEK 595.1 million (SEK 771.6 million) placed in
short-term interest funds. The solvency ratio amounted to

Truecaller has a revolving corporate credit facility of SEK
500.0 million (SEK 500.0 million). As of the balance sheet
date, SEK - (-) million had been utilized. The revolving
corporate credit facility is available until 2028.
The Group's total assets as of September 30, 2025,
amounted to SEK 1,703.1 million (SEK 1,737.6 million). The
carrying amounts for financial assets and financial
liabilities are assessed to substantially correspond to their
fair value.
The Group's trade receivables amounted to SEK 127.4 million
(SEK 110.4 million) and receivables from advertising
networks and platform owners amounted to SEK 120.9
million (SEK 124.1 million). The increase in trade receivables
is primarily due to the growt h of Truecaller for Business, as
well as increased direct ad sales to end customers and via
new ad network partners. Payment terms for the company's
customers are normally 30 –90 days. Truecaller closely
monitors customer payments to ensure that overdue
payments are kept as low as possible. Customers who do
not pay according to business agreements are terminated.
Reported but not yet realized customer credit losses in the
balance sheet amounted to SEK 9.6 million (SEK 2.3 million)
as of September 30, 2025. R eceivables from advertising
networks and platform owners are mainly linked to
outstanding receivables from Google and Meta.
Investments
During the period, SEK 27.0 (6.2) million were capitalized as
internally developed intangible assets. Truecaller
capitalizes certain R&D investments where future financial
benefits can be accurately forecasted. Most of the Group’s
R&D work is however taken as a direct cost, as the future
financial benefits of on -going R&D work is difficult to
forecast accurately.
Currency exposure
The majority of Truecaller's revenues are denominated in
Swedish Krona (SEK) via partners such as Google and
Apple. Consequently, the company has limited direct
currency exposure. However, these partners in turn invoice
users of Truecaller's services partly in local currencies,
which creates an indirect currency exposure for Truecaller.
The company does not have full information on the
currency exposure or how currency fluctuations are
managed by these partners, and therefore cannot

14
INTERIM REPORT JANUARY -SEPTEMBER 202 5 TRUECALLER AB
currently quantify the indirect currency exposure with
precision. The largest currency exposure is against the INR
and USD. A weakening of the SEK against these currencies
has a positive impact on the company's sales and earnings,
even though it simultaneo usly increases the company's
costs.
The company estimates that exchange rate changes had
a negative impact on net sales of approximately SEK 1 15
million during the 2025 reporting period compared to the
corresponding period in 2024, primarily as a result of a
significantly stronger SEK. The company also estimates that
exchange rate changes had a negative impact on EBITDA
of approximately SEK 65 million, corresponding to
approximately 1.8 percentage points on the EBITDA margin.
Parent company
Parent company income for the quarter amounted to SEK
21.6 (6.4) million which refers to billing of subsidiaries for
services rendered. The profit before tax amounted to SEK
450,0 (395.6) million. The profit after tax amounted to SEK
450.0 (396.4) million. Cash and cash equivalents on 30
September 2025 amounted to SEK 44.1 (29.8) million. In
addition to the cash and cash equivalents the parent
company has SEK 173.7 (260.3) million invested in short -
term interest rate funds. No investments have taken place
in intangible or tangible assets. At the end of the period, 1

Product update
Truecaller is executing its strategic vision to transition
from being a caller ID application to a comprehensive
personal communication safety layer. The product
advancements during the third quarter reflect a deep
commitment to building a trust infrastruc ture that
proactively addresses the global surge in spam, fraud,
and anonymous communication.
By leveraging advanced AI and machine learning, the
company is moving beyond passive identification to
deliver proactive communication intelligence, helping
users determine not just who is calling, but why it
matters—a crucial Unique Selling Proposition (U SP) in
today’s digital landscape.
This quarter's innovations across AI, monetization, and
B2B services underscore the company's sustained focus
on building a robust, diversified platform for sustainable
long-term growth.
A layer of personal communication
safety: General product & AI updates
During the quarter, Truecaller substantially scaled its
proprietary AI -powered identity and messaging features,
reinforcing its position as the default trust engine for billions
of calls and messages across the globe.
The company's focus on identifying the intent behind a call,
not just the name, was evident in the expansion of its AI
Identity solution. This advanced capability, which can even
flag potential deception by identifying recently or
frequently changed names, as well as other types of fraud
and other signals using a color -coded system saw
significant adoption. AI Identity impressions grew from 158
billion in the second quarter to 189 billion in the third quarter,
demonstrating increased user reliance on these smarter
features.
Similarly, the volume of AI -powered Message IDs (MIDs),
which add crucial context to SMS, experienced massive
growth, soaring from over 7.4 billion impressions in the
second quarter to more than 14 billion in the third quarter —
an increase of nearly 90 percent quarter-over-quarter.
Truecaller's greatest strength is its community -driven
network, which continues to provide essential feedback
that fuels its intelligence systems. The number of user
surveys answered grew from 212 million to 242 million
quarter-over-quarter, demonstrating continued feedback
and engagement from Truecaller’s users. This collaborative
defense mechanism enabled a 68 percent increase in
Scam Feed users during the quarter, as the company
scaled awareness of current fraud trends to a new set of
users, with plans t o bring Scam Feed to audiences outside
India in Q4.
Significant strides were also made in bridging the product
parity gap between Android and iOS, a critical step for
future monetization. Improvements to the Live Lookup
service on iOS included more frequent data ingestion to
identify the latest spammers and enhanced caching of
frequently blocked numbers, which directly improves
blocking efficiency by reducing latency. Furthermore,
Premium users in India can now use Aadhaar verification to
confirm their identity and receive a blue tick within the app.
To prov ide better control, the ability to block custom
number series was extended to all Premium users, while this
feature was made available for free to all users in Chile as
a pilot.

Strong momentum in Premium revenues
The quarter marked a significant milestone for Truecaller's
Premium subscriptions, demonstrating its increasing
success in generating recurring revenue streams beyond
its core advertising business.
In Q3, Premium revenues hit 96.4 million, representing a 11
percent quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) growth rate, a 43
percent year-over-year (YoY) increase, and a 56 percent
YoY increase in constant currencies. Total number of
subscriptions grew by 10 percent QoQ, with iOS leading the
relative platform growth at 19.5 percent QoQ.
International markets were key growth drivers. The Middle
East and Africa (MEA) and Rest of World (ROW) regions
demonstrated strong growth across both platforms. The
United States remains a key market, contributing 17
percent of total iOS revenue and 7 percent of total Android
revenue, with QoQ growth of 14 percent and 10 percent,
respectively. India also showed specific traction on iOS,
with 20 percent revenue, and 21 percent subscription
growth QoQ. Notably, several Premium-focused markets
experienced exceptional subscription growth, including
Nigeria (36 percent), Colombia (33 percent), and Brazil (21
percent). Encouragingly, the global iOS Premium renewal
rate remained strong with approximately 90% renewal
rate, signaling strong product satisfaction among paid
users.
To enhance retention and increase adoption, the
company continued to refine its Premium Monetization
Engine. New churn journeys were implemented, leveraging
the Monetization Engine to deliver customized
communication and offers before, during, and after
subscription expiration to reduce involuntary churn. Future
development will focus on integrating AI to scale content
creation, facilitating continuous delivery, and exploring
partnership opportunities for offer bundling.
Truecaller ads and adVantage
The third quarter was characterized by consolidation and
momentum within the advertising stack, focusing on
scaling high -impact experiences, deepening data
intelligence, and strategically expanding ad inventory.
The in -house ad server, TAS, made major strides in
improving branding products, including Truecaller
Masthead and Truecaller Play, making them more viewable
and measurable for advertisers. A new Prime-view solution
was introduced, allowing brands to own mu ltiple ad
touchpoints throughout the user journey. Furthermore, the
launch of contextual targeting on the post -call screen
allows for responsible and meaningful connections with
audiences based on call categories. On the performance
front, creative and placement-level optimization, alongside
retargeting high -value cohorts, drove significant
improvements in Return on Investment (ROI) for major
clients.
A major highlight of the quarter was the launch of
AdVantage, the fully automated, AI -driven
recommendation engine designed to deliver sharper
targeting, higher user engagement, and improved
advertiser outcomes. This initiative significantly deepens
the data and AI backbone of the ads ecosystem. The data
pipeline for facilitating continuous A/B testing on the ads
platform was completed, enabling evidence -based
product decisions.
In terms of supply and monetization, the team introduced
several new ad formats, including AppOpen Ads, Carousel
Ads on Details View, and Rewarded Ads, diversifying the
portfolio and unlocking high -yield monetization streams.
Geo-level supply optimization further ensured inventory
alignment with high-demand markets.
Driving adoption in key enterprise
solutions
Truecaller for Business (TfB) continued its strong growth
trajectory in the third quarter, validating the strategy of
establishing a Verified Business Caller solution as a
service—often described as a 'Stripe for verified
communication'—and a lightweight d igital identity
backbone.
The quarter was marked by high adoption rates for
customer experience (CX) features among TfBs enterprise
clients: Call Reason reached 75 percent, Call -Me-Back
(CMB) hit 40 percent, and Video Caller ID (VCID) achieved
31 percent adoption.
The offering was expanded with the launch of a new
carousel format for Verified Campaigns, providing
marketing teams with a better tool to engage customers
with multiple simultaneous campaigns and increase
customer Lifetime Value (LTV). A specialized product,
Verified Banners on SMS Message ID (MID), was introduced
specifically to target high transactional SMS volumes in the
Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector,
allowing clients to maximize their SMS investment.

Indian tax survey
During the fourth quarter 2024, Truecaller was subject to a
tax survey in India. Such surveys are commonplace for
multinational companies, and often focuses on transfer
pricing arrangements. Truecaller has a well balanced and
well documented transfer pricing policy in place since 2018.
At this point in time the company sees no reason to assume
that this recent Indian survey will result in any material
increased tax payments in India for revenues recognised
during previous financial periods, once the process reaches
its final conclusion. This assessment may change during
the course of the process. As Truecaller's business
operations and revenue streams develop, the company
continuously assesses the existing model, in co -operation
with relevant tax authorities, in order to stay compliant with
local tax regulations. It is conceivable that this may lead to
adaptions to the present model that may increase future
tax payments in one jurisdiction, whi le reducing them in
others.

The carrying amount is considered a good estimate of the
fair value of current receivables and liabilities . The
maximum credit risk of the assets comprises the net
amounts of the carrying amounts shown in the table above.
The Group has short -term placements , conditional
consideration (earnouts) and non-current financial assets
that are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Fair
value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The
measurement methods are classified in a hierarchy
consisting of three levels defined as follows:
• Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets
• Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable directly (prices) or indirectly (derived
from prices)
• Level 3 Non-observable market data
There were no transfers between the levels during the
period. The Group has no financial assets or liabilities that
have been offset in the accounts or which are covered by a
legally binding netting agreement.
Short-term placements
Truecaller has investments placed in short-term fixed
income funds. The fair value of the holding is determined
by using market prices on the reporting date according to
Level 1. The effect of the measurement at fair value is
recognized in profit or loss. The adjustment to the fair
value of these instruments is reflected directly in “Short-
term placements” in the statement of financial position.

investment in Mayhem Studios that was made in 2023. The
non-current financial assets belong to level 3 in the
valuation hierarchy.
Note 5. Incentive programs
The Group applies IFRS 2 Share -based Payment to
employee stock options and performance -based share
rights, where the cost is measured at fair value and
allocated over the term of the program and recognized in
equity. The Group recognizes a reserve for accrued social
insurance costs for the pro gram based on the estimated
benefit value for participants.
The salary -related costs increased due to the
introduction of a new program in 2025. Salary -related
incentive costs are valued at fair value and are amortized
over the program's term. The social security contributions
are affected by the share price at the end of each reporting
period and may therefore be higher with positive share
price development, which can create volatility in the
income statement
For detailed historical information about the incentive
programs, refer to the 2024 annual report.
