Match Group Announces Third Quarter Results

Tinder Daily Active Users Returned to Year-over-Year (“Y/Y”) Growth In September After

More Than Three Years

Hinge Delivered Double-Digit User, Revenue, and Payer Growth Y/Y

LOS ANGELES, November 2, 2026 - Match Group (NASDAQ: MTCH) today announced financial

results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

“For the past year, we've said better user experiences will drive better business results. While there's

still work ahead, Q3 provided more proof points that this strategy is working,” said CEO Spencer

Rascoff. “Tinder’s Sparks1 and Sparks Coverage2 delivered their strongest quarterly Y/Y performance

since we began tracking them, and Daily Active Users returned to Y/Y growth in September for the

first time in three and a half years. The early results from Events and Group Hangouts show Tinder is

building the right features, and we’re doubling down on our ’Better with Friends’ Roadmap to drive

reconsideration. Hinge is a leader in intentional dating, and we see significant opportunities ahead in

both its core and expansion markets. There is more to do, but we’re delivering on the milestones we

set, and our confidence is building as we head into 2027.”

“We delivered against our financial expectations this quarter, while the underlying trends at Tinder

continued to improve,” said CFO Steve Bailey. “Our disciplined approach to capital allocation has

reduced diluted shares outstanding3 by 4% Y/Y4, and 10% since the beginning of 2025. Looking

ahead, we're focused on translating Tinder's improving user trends into sustainable revenue growth in

2027, while continuing to deliver strong Free Cash Flow and shareholder return to shareholders.”

Match Group's Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share of the company's

common stock. The dividend is payable on January 21, 2027 to shareholders of record as of January

Match Group Announces Second Quarter Results

Tinder Y/Y DAU and MAU Trends Improve as Turnaround Gains Momentum

Hinge Grew Revenue 22% Y/Y as International Expansion Continues

LOS ANGELES, August 4, 2026 - Match Group (NASDAQ: MTCH) today announced financial results

for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, reflecting continued progress in its product-led

turnaround. In Q2, the company delivered revenue in line with expectations and exceeded Adjusted

EBITDA expectations, while improving user engagement at Tinder and delivering strong global user

and revenue growth at Hinge.

At Tinder, product improvements continued to translate into stronger engagement and user trends.

Sparks and Sparks Coverage were broadly stable versus Q1, year-over-year (“Y/Y”) DAU declines

narrowed to 4% in Q2, the best result in 10 quarters, and Y/Y MAU declines improved across each of

Tinder’s top five revenue countries and among women. Trends have further strengthened in July,

supported by ongoing improvements to recommendation algorithms and product innovation. In Q2,

Hinge grew overall revenue 22% Y/Y, with global MAU up 13% Y/Y, and entered six new European

countries and four additional countries in Latin America. Hinge also grew revenue 86% Y/Y across its

European expansion markets1, while maintaining the number one downloaded2 position in aggregate

across those markets in Q2.

“Tinder finally looks and feels like the app young daters want to use. We have improved our

recommendation algorithms, strengthened Trust and Safety, introduced new ways to connect with

features like Double Date and Music Mode, and completed Tinder’s first full rebrand in nearly a

decade, and these changes are driving meaningful gains in metrics like DAU and retention to date.

The next step is winning back singles who’ve drifted away, and reaching those who’ve never tried

Tinder at all. In-person Events, now live in the U.S. and Europe, are an important part of that strategy,”

said CEO Spencer Rascoff. “Meanwhile, Hinge is expanding rapidly in new countries and has become

a global leader in the intentional dating category, and E&E is more streamlined and focused than ever,

with sharper priorities centered on user outcomes and continued product innovation. Match Group is

having a great 2026, positioning us well for 2027.”
