31 Jul Pandora Q2: Revenue Up, Listener Hours, Active Users Down
Pandora reported a 12% year over year revenue increase in Q2 2018, after the markets closed on Tuesday. But both monthly listener hours and active users continued a slow but significant downward spiral.
“We made continued progress against our strategy with total revenue growing 12%, subscription revenue up 67% and ad hour trends improving for the third straight quarter,” said Pandora CEO Roger Lynch. “New partnerships with top brands like Snap and AT&T, as well as enhancements to our ad tech and programmatic offerings, position us to further accelerate growth and ownership of the expanding digital audio marketplace.”
