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.
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 improved 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 higher overall ARPU and revenue growth which will benefit our shareholders.
We're at 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 recurring 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 can 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 recurring 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.

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, an increase 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 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 (SEK 328.2 million). Sales growth in all reported regions was negatively affected by the strengthened Swedish Krona (SEK).

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 15 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 percent. 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 terms 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 local 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 the 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 number of cancellations. 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 messages 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 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 commission 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.
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 14 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 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 (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 salaryrelated 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 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 increasing 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 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 payable. 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 in 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.

During the third quarter of 2025, 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.
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 2024. 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 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.
Total revenues for the period increased by 11 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year and amounted to SEK 1,489.4 million (SEK 1,347.8 million). The increase in fixed currencies is estimated to be 19 percent. Other revenues amounted to SEK 28.2 million (SEK 7.4 million).
Net sales amounted to SEK 1,461.3 million (SEK 1,340.4 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 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.
Revenues from Truecaller for Business increased by 37 percent to SEK 236.7 million (SEK 173.0 million). Revenue growth in fixed currencies was approximately 50 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 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.
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 14 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 beginning of the second quarter, as well as increased costs for incentive programs. The cost increase excluding 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 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 potential 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 volatility 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 slightly higher growth-related costs.
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 interestbearing 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 increasing 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 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 tax 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 SEK 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 -296.2 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). The increase in trade receivables 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 in 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 Google and Meta.
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.
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 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 simultaneously increases the company's costs.
The company estimates that exchange rate changes had a negative impact on net sales of approximately SEK 115 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 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 shortterm 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.
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 infrastructure 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 (USP) 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.
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 to 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 provide 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.
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.
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 multiple 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.
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 digital 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.

The Number Intelligence (NI) product maintained strong performance, contributing to both revenue and new customer acquisition, particularly through strategic partner deals. New features were released to empower customers to quickly test NI scores against their own models, substantially reducing the sales cycle.
The company's partnership with Tanla continues to be a key driver for transactional and promotional messaging volumes for the Business Messaging offering. Encouraging early results are also being observed from the testing of adVantage, the new targeting platform designed to help improve promotional messaging targeting and enabling other use-cases.
Truecaller's platform is designed with consideration for privacy and data protection. It is built on consent, transparency, and purpose limitation. Users have full control over their personal data, while information about non-users is processed restrictively and solely to promote secure and informed communication.
Truecaller only processes data that users provide with informed and explicit consent. When a user chooses to use Truecaller, only minimal personal data, such as name and phone number, is collected to enable caller identification in accordance with applicable regulations. Any additional information voluntarily provided by the user is completely optional and governed by the user's own settings. Users can remove their phone numbers from Truecaller's platform at any time via a public website or by contacting Truecaller's customer support.
Truecaller has implemented extensive and industrystandard security measures to protect the integrity of collected and processed personal data. This includes secure servers, access controls, and cloud security provided by reputable vendors. The technical architecture is built on strict organizational separation, ensuring compliance with applicable data protection regulations in all jurisdictions. The absolute majority of data processed concerns user data, business data (outside the scope of data protection), and spam-related data. Some users voluntarily choose to contribute data, such as name suggestions.
For non-user data, processing is based on Truecaller's legitimate interest in providing accurate caller ID services, enabling informed decisions, and reducing exposure to unwanted or malicious communication. All data processing occurs with strong safeguards for personal integrity. Data is limited to what is necessary, anonymized, and pseudonymized. Storage time is strictly limited to what is required to provide the services.
Users can block, report, or unmark numbers themselves and are clearly informed in the app about how their contributions and data are used to protect the community. Non-users have access to clear information via Truecaller's privacy policy and can request that their number be removed from the search database at any time.
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, while reducing them in others.
Like all companies. Truecaller is exposed to various types of risk in the course of business. These include risks related to currency movements. dependence upon certain strategic partners. the general economic trend and developments in the financial market. technical progress. dependence on key individuals. legal risks and risks associated with personal privacy. as well as tax risks and political risks. Risk management is an integrated component of the management of Truecaller. The risks described for the Group could also have indirect impact on the parent company. A complete description of risks and uncertainties associated with Truecaller is provided in the 2024 annual report.

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:
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.
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 "Shortterm placements" in the statement of financial position.

Non-current financial assets
The group's non-current financial assets consist of the investment in Mayhem Studios that was made in 2023. The non-current financial assets belong to level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.
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 program 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.
