195/264 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Spotify Technology S.A. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial positions of Spotify Technology S.A. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Group”) as of January 1, 2016, and as of December 31, 2016 and 2017 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity/(deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group at January 1, 2016, and as of December 31, 2016 and 2017 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Ernst & Young AB We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015. Stockholm, Sweden , 2018 The foregoing report is in the form that will be signed upon shareholder approval of the share split of the Company’s ordinary shares. /s/ Ernst & Young AB Stockholm, Sweden February 28, 2018 F2
