CEO WORD Q2 2025
I'm happy once again to report that we continue to show strong organic growth trends, as this is the fourth quarter in a row where we've grown both in revenues as well as users. In constant currencies, all revenue streams showed stable growth with ads and premium growth rates increasing compared to the first quarter. We added an incredible 15 million users in this quarter and 55 million users compared to Q2 2024, a growth of 15%, clearly highlighting our relevance in the world.
During this quarter, we surpassed two major milestones; more than 3 million paying subscribers of Truecaller, out of which more than 1 million are on iOS. The average number of subscribers grew by 28% compared to the same period last year and by 8% compared to the previous quarter. The number of iOS subscribers increased by 25 percent in Q2 alone, or more than 50% year-over-year.
Currency effects, primarily the recent substantial strengthening of the Swedish Krona, SEK, had considerable effects on both revenue and profit this quarter. Almost all our revenues are recorded in currencies other than SEK, while only a limited part of our cost base is in foreign currencies. In constant currencies, our net sales grew by approximately 21% while in SEK the growth was 9%. Advertising revenue grew by approximately 11% in constant currencies but decreased by 1% in SEK. Premium revenues grew by approximately 48% in constant currencies and 35% in SEK. Truecaller for Business grew by approximately 53% in constant currencies and by 34% in SEK.
EBITDA excluding incentive costs is estimated to have grown 38% in constant currencies. In SEK the EBITDA growth was 20% and the margin increased to 42.6% compared to 38.8% during the same period the previous year.
Although we did notice some demand softness from the present geopolitical uncertainties in our ads business, we also saw encouraging signs such as a price stabilization for our ads inventory. We continue to focus on strengthening our direct sales capabilities both in terms of our offerings and our organization. When it comes to programmatic advertising we added another eight global demand partners. We have also been focused on increasing the average sales volume through different optimisations, something that started to yield good results in the latter part of the quarter. During the quarter, we launched a new ad unit, the Truecaller Masthead. With the Masthead, advertisers can claim a 100% share of voice on the incoming call screen. We also launched Truecaller Play which showcases all our video ad capabilities under one umbrella. We also did a soft launch of our in-house AI recommendations suite that builds dynamic audiences and learns from outcomes. Early tests of this with customers, such as Uber and Bajaj Auto, delivered encouraging results with an uplift in CTRs, CPMs and conversions. All these initiatives are developed in order to create sophistication in our ads offerings which result in gains over time. In terms of geographies, the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region continued to show strong growth but both India and RoW also grew in constant currencies.
Subscription revenue from Truecaller Premium purchases continued to show solid growth, 48% in constant currencies and 35% in SEK. We saw an acceleration in the growth of number of subscribers, particularly on iOS where number of subscribers increasedby 25% in the second quarter alone. We see a continued strong revenue trend on both iOS and Android. The trend is steady, and we are now also seeing accelerated growth in India, although all regions continue to develop well when it comes to both subscribers and revenue.
Revenue from Truecaller for Business grew by 53% in constant currencies and 34% in SEK. Growth continues to be driven by strong performance for our entire product portfolio, our Customer Experience (CX) platform Verified Business, Business Messaging and our more recently launched risk products. The risk product 'Number intelligence' is the smallest of the revenue lines within Truecaller for Business but it is now growing in importance with more credit bureaus and BFSI companies seeing the value of the intelligence we can provide with our unique data.
Subscription revenue from Truecaller Premium purchases continued to show solid growth, 48% in constant currencies and 35% in SEK. We saw an acceleration in the growth of number of subscribers, particularly on iOS where number of subscribers increasedby 25% in the second quarter alone. We see a continued strong revenue trend on both iOS and Android. The trend is steady, and we are now also seeing accelerated growth in India, although all regions continue to develop well when it comes to both subscribers and revenue.
I continue to be optimistic on our growth journey for the years to come with positive trends in user growth, sophistication in our ads capabilities, strong subscriber intake and a business offering with much room for developing new services and integrating deeper with our partners.
Our focus on solving problems in everyday communication for both individuals and businesses continues to remain, with a very exciting roadmap for the years to come. I look forward to growing this incredible company and look forward to the future with excitement!

The average prices for Truecaller's advertising products (CPM) was quite stable in SEK but increased somewhat in constant currencies compared to the same period last year. The number of ad impressions that Truecaller montizeses was stable compared to the same period last year. Truecaller continues to focus on maximizing revenue per user, rather than relying on metrics like CPM or fill rate.
Revenue from premium subscriptions increased by 35 percent to SEK 87.1 (64.4) million SEK. The revenue growth in constant currencies was 48 percent. The strongest relative revenue growth occurred on iOS. Premium revenues are growing steadily as a result of an improved offering, with more features being launched, in combination with bettertargeted marketing of the premium offering. The average number of paying users increased by 28 percent compared to the same quarter the previous year and amounted to 2.99 million (2.34 million). The conversion rate to paying users continued to increase, averaging 0.65% (0.59) for the quarter. The average revenue per user also grew, reaching SEK 10.00 (9.08). The growth of average revenue per user was higher in local currencies. Revenue from iOS accounts for approximately 44% (41) of total premium revenue, and the average number of iOS subscribers increased by 45 percent compared to the same period last year and by 25 percent compared to the previous quarter. The conversion rate on iOS was 3.05 percent (2.51%), and the average monthly revenue per user amounted to SEK 13.69 (12.97).

For Verified Business, Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increased by 20 percent, reaching SEK 228 million (190 million). The growth of ARR in constant currency was approximately 36 percent compared to the same period last year. An increasing number of customers are opting for longer contracts and plans that include more of the products Truecaller has developed for businesses, which increases revenue per customer. Truecaller's business services are highly appreciated by customers, resulting in a low number of cancellations from key business clients. The revenue loss from such cancellations relative to total revenue was, on average, approximately 2.7 percent (3.0%) during the quarter. Through a partnership with CPaaS company Tanla, Truecaller also sends B2C messages to its users. The volume of business messages increased compared to last year, and 4.4 billion (2.4 billion) messages were sent during the quarter. Revenue from Truecaller's risk products increased during the quarter, with more contracts signed with customers in e.g. the financial sector.
Other revenue within net sales amounted to SEK 1.1 (1.6) million.
The gross profit inreased by 12 percent to SEK 384.3 (343.7) million compared to the same period last year. The gross margin amounted to 77.2 percent (75.4). The higher gross margin was primarily due to a higher share of direct ad sales, a growing enterprise business, and stable server and verification costs. The gross margin is mainly determined by fees to partners such as Google and Apple, and by costs for verification of new users and for servers used for the company's services.
EBITDA excluding incentive program costs increased by 20 percent, amounting to SEK 211.6 million (176.9), and the EBITDA margin excluding incentive costs was 42.6 percent (38.8). The growth in constant currencies was approximately 38 percent.
EBITDA including incentive program costs increased by 5 percent, reaching SEK 172.8 million (164.7), and the EBITDA margin was 34.8 percent (36.1). In constant currenices EBITDA increased by approximately 24 percent compared to the same period last year.
Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 4 percent to SEK 157.0 (151.5) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 31.6% (33.2).
Staff costs during the quarter increased to SEK 135.4 (101.3) million. Salary costs increased primarily as a result of the annual salary adjustment that takes effect at the beginning of the second quarter of the year, as well as increased costs for incentive programs. The cost increase excluding costs for incentive programs was 8 percent to SEK 96.6 (89.1) million.
The group's long-term incentive program resulted in a salary-related cost for the period of SEK 29.0 (10.2) million with a corresponding increase in equity, and social security contributions of SEK 9,4 (2.1) million reported 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 the potential dilution arising from stock options and RSUs. Only the social security costs have a cashflow impact, and only if and when the options or RSUs are exercised. The salary related costs increased due to the introduction of the 2024 annual incentive program. Salary-related incentive costs are valued at fair value and amortized over the duration of the program. The social security contributions are affected by the share price at the end of each accounting period and may therefore amount to higher amounts when there is a positive share price movemement which can create volatility in the income statement. See more info in note 5.
Other external costs increased to SEK 84,8 (79.7) million compared to the same period last year.
Profit before tax increased by 1 percent to SEK 166.2 (164.6) million. Profit after tax for the period was SEK 118.0 (123.0) million. Net financial income amounted to SEK 9.2 (13.1) million.
The total tax amounted to SEK 48.2 (41.6) million which corresponds to an effective tax rate of 29.0 (25.3) percent for the Group. The effective tax rate is a combination of the Swedish and the Indian corporate tax rates, and as an increasing share of the Group's profit is allocated to India, the tax rate is expected to increase gradually. There are however also some variations in-between quarters.
Basic earnings per share were SEK 0.34 (0.35) and diluted earnings per share were SEK 0.34 (0.35).
Net cash from operating activities amounted to SEK 262,0 (184.2) million out of which SEK 94,1 (10.6) million was attributable to changes in working capital and SEK -52.8 (- 28.5) million was attributable to income tax paid. Net cash from investing activities amounted to SEK 312.9 (397.7) million and included a sale of short-term interest rate funds of SEK 350.0 (400.0) million. Net cash used in financing activities was SEK –582.1 (-660.5) million which includes dividend paid to shareholders amounting to SEK - 583.2 (- 589.8) million and purchase of treasury shares of SEK – 16.8 (-62.6) million. Net cash flow for the period was SEK -7.2 (- 78.6) million.
Truecaller had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 446.9 (512.6) million at the end of the quarter and SEK 590.6 (564.7) million invested in short-term interest rate funds. The equity to assets ratio was 69.3 (76.6) percent.
Truecaller have a revolving credit facility of SEK 500.0 (500.0) million. SEK - (-) million had been utilized as of the reporting date. The revolving credit facility has recently been extended by 1+1 year, meaning it is available until 2028. Consolidated total assets amounted to SEK 1,714.9 (1,699.2) million on 30 June 2025. The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are estimated to coincide with fair value in all material respects.
Trade receivables for the Group amounted to SEK 151.2 (97.5) million and claims on advertising networks and platform owners was SEK 116.4 (106.9) million. The increase in trade receivables is attributable mainly to the increase in direct sales in the advertising business and growth in Truecaller for Business. Payment terms for the company's customers are normally 30-60 days. Truecaller monitors customer payments carefully in order to ensure overdue payments are as low as possible. Customers that do no pay in accordance with business agreements are terminated. Recognized but unrealized customer credit losses in the balance sheet amounted to SEK 9.6 (7.5) million as of 30 June 2025. The claims on advertising networks and platform owners is mainly linked to outstanding claims against Google and Meta.
During the second quarter of 2025, SEK 9.7 (1.9) 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.
The majority of Truecaller's revenues are denominated in Swedish kronor (SEK) via partners including Google and Apple. Accordingly, there is little direct currency exposure. These partners in turn bill users of Truecaller's services partly in local currencies, which causes an indirect currency exposure for Truecaller. Truecaller does not, however, have complete information concerning currency exposure or how currency effects are managed by partners and thus cannot at present quantify indirect currency exposure with precision. The largest currency exposures is against INR and USD. A depreciation of SEK against those currencies has a positive impact on the company's sales and profit, although it also increases the company's costs. The company estimates that exchange rate changes had a negative impact on net sales of approximately SEK 56 million during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding quarter 2024. This was an effect of a strengthened SEK against most foreign currencies, on average by 12% against INR and 10% against USD, compared to the same period in 2024. The company estimates that exchange rates also had a negative effect of about SEK 31 million on EBITDA corresponding to about 2 percentage points on the EBITDA margin.
Parent company income for the quarter amounted to SEK 12.5 (2.6) million which refers to billing of subsidiaries for services rendered. The profit before tax amounted to SEK 460.2 (405.8) million. The profit after tax amounted to SEK 458,1 (404.6) million. Cash and cash equivalents on 30 June 2025 amounted to SEK 93.1 (20.6) 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.
Total revenues for the period increased by 11 percent compared to the corresponding quarter the previous year and amounted to SEK 1,012.7 (889.0) million. The increase in constant currencies is estimated to 21 percent. Other income amounted to SEK 19.4 (3.1) million.
Net sales amounted to SEK 993.3 (883.1) million, an increase by 12 percent compared to the corresponding period the previous year. Truecallers estimate is that net sales growth in constant currencies was 20 percent, see Currency exposure below.
Net sales in India increased by 9 percent to SEK 710.0 (650.3), by 25 percent to SEK 141.8 (113.1) million in Africa and the Middle East and by 18 percent to SEK 141.6 (119.7) million in the Rest of the world.

The number of ad impressions that Truecaller monetizes increased with approximately 8 percent compared to the same period last year.

The gross profit increased by 15 percent to SEK 767.6 (666.5) million compared to the same period last year. The gross margin amounted to 77.3 (75.5) percent. The increased gross margin was primarily due to a higher gross margin within the advertising business, resulting from a higher share of direct sales, a growing enterprise business, and stable server and verification costs. The gross margin is mainly determined by fees to partners such as Google and Apple, and by costs for verification of new users and for servers used for the company's services.
EBITDA excluding incentive program costs increased by 21 percent, amounting to SEK 410.2 million (339.2), and the EBITDA margin excluding incentive costs was 41.3% (38.4%). The growth in constant currencies was approximately 32 percent.

The group's long-term incentive program entailed a salaryrelated cost for the period of SEK 56.4 (20.7) million with a corresponding increase in equity and social security contributions of SEK 32,0 (2.9) million reported 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 the potential dilution arising from stock options and RSUs. Only the social security costs have a cashflow impact, and only when the options or RSUs are exercised. The salary related costs increased due to the introduction of a new program in 2024. Salary-related incentive costs are valued at fair value and amortized over the term of the program. The social security contributions are affected by the share price at the end of each accounting period and may therefore amount to higher amounts when there is a positive share price movemement which can create volatility in the income statement. See more info in note 5.
Other external costs increased to SEK 187,4 (160.4) million compared to the same period last year. Main drivers of the increase was investments in marketing costs for the new iOS app during Q1 2025 and somewhat higher growth related expenses.
Profit before tax decreased to SEK 306.8 (338.1) million. Profit after tax for the period was SEK 219.7 (256.0) million. Net financial income amounted to SEK 17.0 (48.6) million. The lower net financial income is primarily due to less favorable value changes from short-term interest-bearing securities and less favorable currency effects.
The total tax amounted to SEK 87.1 (82.1) million which corresponds to an effective tax rate of 28.4 (24.3) percent for the Group. The effective tax rate is a combination of the Swedish and the Indian corporate tax rates, and as an increasing share of the Group's profit is allocated to India, the tax rate is expected to increase gradually. There are however also some variations in-between quarters.
Basic earnings per share were SEK 0.64 (0.74) and diluted earnings per share were SEK 0.64 (0.74).
Net cash from operating activities amounted to SEK 372,0 (240.0) million of which SEK 82,9 (-51.0) million was attributable to changes in working capital and SEK -120.8 (- 86.3) million was attributable to income tax paid. Net cash from investing activities amounted to SEK 203.1 (394.2) million and included a sale of short-term interest rate funds of SEK 350.0 (400.0) million and investments in short-term interest rate funds of SEK -100.0 (-). Net cash used in financing activities was SEK –591.6 (-761.5) million which includes dividend paid to shareholders amounting to SEK - 583.2 (-589.8) million and purchase of treasury shares of SEK -16,8 (-62.6) million. Net cash flow for the period was SEK -16,5 (-127.2) million..
Truecaller had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 446.9 (512.6) million at the end of the period and SEK 590.6 (564.7) million invested in short-term interest rate funds. The equity to assets ratio was 69.3 (76.6) percent.
Truecaller have a revolving credit facility of SEK 500.0 (500.0) million. SEK - (-) million had been utilized as of the reporting date. The revolving credit facility has recently been extended by 1+1 year, meaning it is available until 2028. Consolidated total assets amounted to SEK 1,714.9 (1,699.2) million at 30 June 2025. The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are estimated to coincide with fair value in all material respects.
Trade receivables for the Group amounted to SEK 151,2 (97.5) million and claims on advertising networks and platform owners was SEK 116.4 (106.9) million. The increase in trade receivables is attributable mainly to the increase in direct sales in the advertising business and growth in Truecaller for Business. Payment terms for the company's customers are normally 30-60 days. Truecaller monitors customer payments carefully in order to ensure overdue payments are as low as possible. Customers that do no pay in accordance with business agreements are terminated. Recognized but unrealized customer credit losses in the balance sheet amounted to SEK 9.6 (7.5) million as of 30 June 2025. The claims on advertising networks and platform owners is mainly linked to outstanding claims against Google and Meta.
During the period, SEK 18.3 (4.7) 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.
The majority of Truecaller's revenues are denominated in Swedish kronor (SEK) via partners including Google and Apple. Accordingly, there is little direct currency exposure. In turn, these partners bill users of Truecaller's services partly in local currencies, which causes an indirect currency exposure for Truecaller. Truecaller does not, however, have complete information concerning currency exposure or how currency effects are managed by partners and thus cannot at present accurately quantify indirect currency exposure. The largest currency exposure is against INR and USD. A depreciation of SEK against those currencies has a positive impact on the company's sales and profit, although it also increases the company's costs. The company estimates that exchange rate changes had a negative impact on net sales of approximately SEK 64 million during the reporting period 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024, mainly as an effect of a significanltly stronger SEK. The company's estimate is that exchange rates also had a negative effect of about SEK 36 million on EBITDA corresponding to about 1.4 percentage points on the EBITDA margin.
Parent company income for the quarter amounted to SEK 19,1 (4,5) million which refers to billing of subsidiaries for services rendered. The profit before tax amounted to SEK 456,0 (401,7) million. The profit after tax amounted to SEK 454,7 (401,3) million. Cash and cash equivalents on 30 June 2025 amounted to SEK 93.1 (20.6) 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.
In Q2, Truecaller deepened its commitment to keeping digital communication safe and efficient, by delivering a suite of powerful innovations that enhance user safety, enrich experiences, and unlock new value for both consumers and businesses. From the frontlines of the global battle against fraud and spam to the strategic evolution of its ads, premium, and business offerings, Truecaller's product development pipeline accelerated, reinforcing its position as the industry leader in the space.
Truecaller continues to advance its core mission of creating safer communication environments by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), especially in the ongoing fight against sophisticated fraud and spam. The company's AI-powered fraud detection systems, which analyze a wide variety of behavioral and contextual signals, underwent significant upgrades.
New fraud detection models were successfully rolled out across key markets, notably India, demonstrating improved accuracy and responsiveness to evolving scam tactics. This proactive enhancement has directly led to millions of additional calls being accurately identified as fraudulent each day, providing a vital shield for Truecaller's vast user base.
In an era where the financial impact of phone and digital scams continues to escalate globally, AI has become an indispensable tool for defense. Truecaller's innovations reflect a broader industry trend where sophisticated machine learning is crucial for identifying and neutralizing threats that are constantly adapting.
Truecaller has launched unique AI-powered summaries of all community feedback received against a number, a brand new feature that's designed to surface useful insights on the caller's behaviour and potentially the reason for their call. These LLM-powered community summaries are now prominently displayed to Truecaller users across various touchpoints, including the Caller ID screen, the after-call summary, and the in-app details screen for the respective numbers.
The consolidated insight — conveniently shown next to the caller's name — empowers users with additional context associated with a number before they even answer a call. This AI summary is designed to accurately summarize community feedback received against phone numbers, synthesizing critical information from user-reported names, comments, and detailed spam/ fraud reports.
The adoption of this feature has been rapid, with these summaries being viewed over half a billion times per week globally within days of their Q2 rollout.
Further bolstering community defense, Scam Feed, an integral feature within Truecaller designed to raise awareness about prevalent frauds across various communication platforms, experienced continued growth in both reach and engagement during the quarter thanks to some key product enhancements. The number of Truecaller users actively engaging with Scam Feed content increased by a notable 87 percent compared to the previous quarter, indicating a growing public appetite for information about emerging threats.

Other key metrics, such as user retention and time spent within the Scam Feed, also demonstrated impressive growth, solidifying its role as a vital resource for staying informed against evolving scam landscapes.
Truecaller has invested significantly in revamping its core calling experience for Android users who choose Truecaller as their default phone application. This comprehensive overhaul focused on delivering a modern, intuitive, and highly functional interface.
The new calling experience features a refreshed, simplified design that displays only essential details, reducing visual clutter and enhancing user focus during a call. Crucially, vital information such as business identity, potential spam risk, and call priority status remains clearly visible, empowering users to quickly recognize who is calling and make informed decisions about whether to accept or decline, even as they are receiving the call.
Accessibility and user preference were key drivers in this redesign. The updated calling experience now supports both light and dark themes, aligning with user preferences and system settings. It also includes improved support for smaller screens, larger fonts, and various display sizes, ensuring greater usability and a consistent experience across a wider array of Android devices.
A significant enhancement is the newly introduced floating call screen. This feature keeps the active call easily accessible even when users navigate to other applications, providing convenient access to key in-call actions and helping users maintain control throughout their conversations without disruption.
Underpinning these visible improvements are substantial performance gains. The new calling experience has been meticulously rebuilt for efficiency, with the most noticeable improvements observed on entry-level and older phones, where performance has improved by up to 20 percent. With that said, the new experience delivers a smoother and more responsive interaction across all devices.
This update represents a foundational step in Truecaller's ongoing commitment to delivering communication experiences that are simple, reliable, and thoughtfully crafted, while also establishing a robust platform for future engagement and long-term maintainability.
Truecaller continued its strong momentum in its Premium subscription offerings across both iOS and Android platforms, achieving significant subscriber milestones and driving substantial revenue growth. This performance aligns with a broader industry trend of increasing consumer willingness to pay for enhanced utility, privacy, and security features within essential mobile applications.
On Android, the "block by name" feature, initially launched in Q1, proved to be a meaningful catalyst for Premium conversions during Q2. This uplift is attributed to increased feature discovery and strong organic word-of-mouth promotion from satisfied Truecaller users who value granular control over their incoming calls.
For iOS users, the second quarter saw the introduction of a Premium-exclusive blocking option in India, specifically targeting telemarketers, addressing a key pain point for users in that market. This feature, already available to Premium users in India on Android, is part of Truecaller's continued efforts towards bringing the iOS offering as close to its Android counterpart as technically feasible.
To further accelerate the discovery of its full-fledged Live Caller ID offering on iOS, Truecaller provided targeted giveaways for selected users. The objective of these experiments is to showcase the robust caller ID experience on iOS — otherwise available behind the Premium paywall — to a wider audience, allowing them to experience the full power of Truecaller's caller ID, spam, and fraud detection capabilities.
The quarter culminated in several record-breaking Premium milestones. Truecaller achieved a global total of 3 million subscriptions and, notably, surpassed 1 million subscribers specifically on the iOS platform. Total Premium revenue for Q2 closed at slightly higher than SEK 8,790.13 million, representing a robust 9 percent increase quarterover-quarter (QoQ) and a 35 percent increase year-overyear (YoY). In constant currencies the growth was 48 percent YoY.
In Q2, Truecaller significantly fortified its advertising platform and revenue ecosystem through the introduction of innovative ad formats and improved monetization approaches. This strategic evolution positions Truecaller to capture greater value in the competitive mobile advertising landscape, where engagement and non-intrusive formats are increasingly prized by brands.
A key achievement was the successful launch of Truecaller Masthead, which transforms the Caller ID screen into a new, premium advertising space. This format is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing caller ID functionality without disrupting the core user experience. When users receive calls, branded content appears alongside crucial caller identification information and standard call controls, providing a prominent yet non-intrusive ad placement at a high-attention moment.
Further enriching its offering, Truecaller also introduced PLAY, a comprehensive suite of rich media advertising solutions. PLAY is designed to revolutionize how brands connect with consumers in a mobile-first environment, providing advertisers with a powerful toolkit of video-first, interactive, and immersive ad formats. These formats integrate elegantly into the Truecaller app experience, enabling brands to create more engaging and high-recall brand moments during critical points of user attention, when distractions are minimal and intent is high. This is particularly poised to capture significant festive demand in key markets.

The introduction of Truecaller Masthead and Truecaller PLAY collectively focuses on increasing direct ad sales by clearly defining existing opportunities for advertisers within the Truecaller ecosystem, simplifying their entry point and maximizing their impact.
Beyond new formats, Truecaller expanded its ad inventory, integrated with eight more demand platforms and enhanced monetization efficiency during the quarter. This included scaling interstitial ads and successfully launching a proof-of-concept for Carousel Ads, which increased ad impressions from existing in-app screens without compromising user experience. Other new ad slots and ad formats were also introduced across key in-app screens with high engagement, underlining Truecaller's commitment to providing a diverse and effective advertising ecosystem.
In Q2 2025, Truecaller for Business demonstrated robust performance across its key product lines, reaffirming its position as a vital solution for enterprises seeking to optimize communication, build trust, and combat brand impersonation. The increasing demand for verified communication channels underscores the importance of Truecaller's B2B offerings in today's digital economy.
Verified Business Services (VB) continued to drive significant revenue growth, marked by increased customer adoption of customer experience (CX) capabilities. The "Call-Me-Back" functionality, in particular, proved highly effective, consistently delivering significant return on investment for customers by improving lead conversion. Existing Verified Business customers are increasingly adopting additional CX capabilities and expanding their use cases, leading to higher average revenue per account. Truecaller for Business continually refined the "Call-Me-Back" functionality throughout the quarter, resulting in higher engagement metrics that directly support customers in their outbound sales calling journeys.
Truecaller further augmented its Brand Protection offering with the launch of "Secure Call," an industry-first antispoofing solution powered by its advanced Call-Management features. As businesses increasingly face the threat of brand impersonation and spoofing, which can erode customer trust and cause significant financial losses, Secure Call represents the next level of verification. Moving beyond merely identifying business identities, this solution now securely signs every business call, providing Truecaller users with enhanced confidence and assurance in their interactions with verified businesses.

The Verified Campaigns product — which enables companies to display a hyper-targeted offering in connection with a call — also made significant strides with the rollout of easier data upload capabilities, streamlining data sharing for enterprises and accelerating campaign setup. Real-time user engagement tracking and improved data availability for campaign analysis have further positioned this as an attractive performance marketing product, enabling businesses to measure and optimize their outreach effectively.
Number Intelligence (NI) — Truecaller's solution that aims to provide businesses with information to help in areas such as fraud detection and customer onboarding — continued to show healthy and steady momentum in bookings and revenue build-up, with API consumption increasing multifold in Q2 2025. This growth signals a rising demand for reliable identity and reputation data for phone numbers. Many customers successfully transitioned from proof-ofconcept (PoC) to full production deployments, securing longer-duration contracts, which speaks to the value and reliability of the Number Intelligence solution.
Finally, Business Messaging achieved substantial volumes, reaching approximately 1.55 billion messages on average per month. To further Business Messaging's expansion into new markets, Truecaller is in advanced conversations with a group of Communication Platform as a Service (CPaaS) partners. These partnerships are expected to significantly aid in product discovery and subsequent commercial initiatives outside of India, broadening the reach and impact of Truecaller's enterprise messaging solutions.
Truecaller's Annual General Meeting 2025 was held on May 23. The AGM decided to give of dividend of SEK 1.70 per share, authorized the Board to repurchase up to 10 percent of the outstanding shares and decided on a new incentive program, LTIP 2025.

During the fourth quarter 2024, Truecaller was subject to a tax audit in India. Such surveys and audits 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, while reducing them in others.
Like all companies. Truecaller is exposed to various types of risk in the course of business.
