NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Match Group, Inc., through its portfolio companies, is a leading provider of digital technologies designed to help people make meaningful connections. Our global portfolio of brands includes Tinder®, Hinge®, Match®, Meetic®, OkCupid®, Pairs™, Plenty Of Fish®, Azar®, BLK®, and more, each built to increase our users’ likelihood of connecting with others. Through our trusted brands, we provide tailored services to meet the varying preferences of our users. Our services are available in over 40 languages to our users all over the world. Match Group has four operating segments, Tinder, Hinge, Evergreen and Emerging, and Match Group Asia (“MG Asia”).

As used herein, “Match Group,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms refer to Match Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect, in management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Accounting Estimates

Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the determination of revenue reserves; the carrying value of right-of-use assets; the useful lives and recoverability of definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the fair value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values; contingencies; unrecognized tax benefits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets, and other factors that the Company considers relevant.

Accounting for Investments and Equity Securities

Investments in equity securities, other than those of our consolidated subsidiaries, are accounted for at fair value or under the measurement alternative of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) equity securities guidance, with any changes to fair value recognized within other income (expense), net each reporting period. Under the measurement alternative, equity investments without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or a similar investment of the same issuer; value is generally determined based on a market approach as of the transaction date. A security will be considered identical or similar if it has identical or similar rights to the equity securities held by the Company. The Company reviews its equity securities

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

without readily determinable fair values for impairment each reporting period when there are qualitative factors or events that indicate possible impairment. Factors we consider in making this determination include negative changes in industry and market conditions, financial performance, business prospects, and other relevant events and factors. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company prepares quantitative assessments of the fair value of our investments in equity securities, which require judgment and the use of estimates. When our assessment indicates that the fair value of the investment is below the carrying value, the Company writes down the security to its fair value and records the corresponding charge within other income (expense), net.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services are transferred to our customers, and in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of advance payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company's performance. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract by contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of our performance obligation is one year or less. The current deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2024 was $166.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $162.8 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2024. The current deferred revenue balance at September 30, 2025 is $159.8 million. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no non-current portion of deferred revenue.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

As permitted under the practical expedient available under ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, which focuses on the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 requires a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold on an annual basis. In addition, entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The new standard is effective for our reporting on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU No. 2023-09 disclosures for the prior periods, or may apply the amendments retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. We expect ASU No. 2023-09 to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. We plan to adopt the ASU retrospectively for our reporting on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, which requires more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses, including employee compensation, within certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, and disclosure of selling expenses. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for our annual reporting on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027 and within interim periods beginning on our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2028. The new standard may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. We expect ASU No. 2024-03 to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. We are currently evaluating when we will adopt the ASU.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as induced conversions or extinguishment of convertible debt. ASU No. 2024-04 is effective for the Company starting January 1, 2026. The new standard may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. After the standard is adopted, accounting for future induced conversions would be impacted. We are currently evaluating ASU No. 2024-04 and its impact on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition and evaluating when we will adopt the ASU.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, which updates the accounting for internal use software. The ASU updates the criteria that must be met for entities to begin capitalizing software costs. ASU No. 2025-06 is effective for the Company starting January 1, 2028. The new standard may be adopted prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating ASU No. 2025-06 and its impact on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition and evaluating when we will adopt the ASU.

NOTE 2—INCOME TAXES

At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date income or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects, is individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which it occurs. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, and judgment on the realizability of beginning-of-the-year deferred tax assets in future years or unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The computation of the estimated annual effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or our tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in the income tax provision in the quarter in which the change occurs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $32.9 million and $41.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $87.5 million and $113.5 million, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three-month period in 2025 of 17% is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to changes in tax reserves. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period in 2025 of 18% is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the lower tax rate on U.S. income derived from foreign sources and excess tax benefits generated by the exercise or vesting of stock-based awards, partially offset by nondeductible stock-based compensation and state income taxes.

The effective tax rates for both the three and nine-month periods in 2024, 23% and 22%, respectively, were higher than the statutory rate primarily due to nondeductible stock-based compensation, state income taxes, and foreign income taxed at higher rates, partially offset by the lower tax rate on U.S. income derived from foreign sources and research credits. The nine-month period in 2024 also included unfavorable tax adjustments upon the vesting of certain stock-based awards due to a higher stock price on the date such awards vested compared to the grant date fair value of such awards, partially offset by a tax benefit realized upon the conclusion of certain state income tax audits.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“the Act”). The Act provides changes to U.S. federal tax law, including current expensing of U.S. research expenditures, immediate expensing of eligible capital expenditures, modifications to the limitation of business interest expense, and changes to other tax provisions impacting 2025 and later years. We expect the provisions of the Act to result in a reduction of 2025 and 2026 cash tax payments. Additionally, we expect that the 2025 effective tax rate will be negatively

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

affected by the passage of the Act, primarily due to a lower deduction for U.S. income derived from foreign sources as a result of the current expensing of U.S. research expenditures. We continue to monitor interpretive guidance related to the Act. The impacts of the legislation are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2025.

Match Group is routinely under audit by federal, state, local, and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include a review of the timing and amount of income and deductions, and the allocation of such income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has completed its audit of the Company’s federal income tax returns for years through December 31, 2019. Although the 2020 tax year is closed to assessment, adjustments to taxable income may still be made if it impacts net operating loss or credit carryforwards brought forward from that year. Returns filed in various other jurisdictions are open to examination for tax years beginning with 2015. Although we believe that we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, the final tax outcome of these matters may vary significantly from our estimates.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, were $50.2 million and $50.3 million, respectively. If unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2025 are subsequently recognized, income tax expense would be reduced by $45.3 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest. The comparable amount as of December 31, 2024 was $46.6 million. The Company does not anticipate that the total unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months.

The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. Accruals of interest and penalties for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were not material. At September 30, 2025, noncurrent income taxes payable includes accrued interest and penalties of $2.9 million. The comparable amount as of December 31, 2024 was $1.6 million.

NOTE 3—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Equity securities without readily determinable fair values

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values totaled $20.6 million and $19.3 million, respectively, and is included in “Other non-current assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The cumulative downward adjustments (including impairments) to the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values through September 30, 2025 were $2.1 million. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no adjustments to the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values.

For all equity securities without readily determinable fair values as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has elected the measurement alternative. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, under the measurement alternative election, the Company did not identify any fair value adjustments using observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

•Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2: Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The following tables present the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, and right-of-use assets, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. The Company’s financial assets, comprised of equity securities without readily determinable fair values, are adjusted to fair value when observable price changes are identified or an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.

During the third quarter of 2024, in connection with our decision to terminate live streaming services in our dating applications, including Plenty of Fish, and to sunset our Hakuna application, which provided live streaming primarily in Asia, we recognized impairment charges of $30.6 million related to indefinite- and definite-lived intangible assets in the Match Group Asia and Evergreen & Emerging segments. For certain assets with no remaining cash flow, the Company fully impaired the asset. For assets with remaining cash flows, the Company conducted discounted cash flow valuations. The Company also reclassified an indefinite-lived intangible asset

with a carrying value of $47.2 million to the definite-lived intangible asset category as of September 30, 2024 because the asset is no longer considered to have an indefinite life.

Credit Facility and Term Loan

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Match Group Holdings II, LLC (“MG Holdings II”), is the borrower under a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for the Credit Facility and, prior to January 21, 2025, the Term Loan.

The Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity of $500 million. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is the earlier of (x) March 20, 2029 and (y) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the existing senior notes due 2027, 2028, or 2029, or any new indebtedness used to refinance such senior notes that matures prior to the date that is 91 days after March 20, 2029, in each case if and only if at least $250 million in aggregate principal amount of such debt is outstanding on such date. At both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings, $0.6 million in outstanding letters of credit, and $499.4 million of availability under the Credit Facility. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds, which is based on MG Holdings II’s consolidated net leverage ratio, was 25 basis points as of September 30, 2025. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at MG Holdings II’s option, at a base rate or a term secured overnight financing rate plus an applicable adjustment (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), plus an applicable margin based on MG Holdings II’s

18

Table of Contents

MATCH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

consolidated net leverage ratio. If MG Holdings II borrows under the Credit Facility, it will be required to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0.

At December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan was $425 million. The Term Loan bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.75% and the applicable rate was 6.22% at December 31, 2024. On January 21, 2025, we repaid the $425 million Term Loan in full utilizing cash on hand.

The Credit Agreement includes covenants that would limit the ability of MG Holdings II to pay dividends, make distributions, or repurchase MG Holdings II’s stock in the event MG Holdings II’s consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds 4.25 to 1.0, or if an event of default has occurred. The Credit Agreement includes additional covenants that limit the ability of MG Holdings II and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions. Obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by certain MG Holdings II wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and are also secured by the stock of certain MG Holdings II domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Outstanding borrowings, if any, have priority over the Senior Notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing the borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Senior Notes

The 5.00% Senior Notes were issued on December 4, 2017. These notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.

The 4.625% Senior Notes were issued on May 19, 2020. These notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.

The 5.625% Senior Notes were issued on February 15, 2019. These notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.

The 4.125% Senior Notes were issued on February 11, 2020. These notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.

The 3.625% Senior Notes were issued on October 4, 2021. At any time prior to October 1, 2026, these notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium set forth in the indenture governing the notes. Thereafter, these notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.

The 6.125% Senior Notes were issued on August 20, 2025. At any time prior to September 15, 2028, these notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium set forth in the indenture governing the notes. Thereafter, these notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.

The indenture governing the 5.00% Senior Notes contains covenants that would limit MG Holdings II’s ability to pay dividends or to make distributions and repurchase or redeem MG Holdings II’s stock in the event a default has occurred or MG Holdings II’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) exceeds 5.0 to 1.0. No such limitations were in effect at September 30, 2025. There are additional covenants in the 5.00% Senior Notes indenture that limit the ability of MG Holdings II and its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, make investments, or sell assets in the event MG Holdings II is not in compliance with specified financial ratios, and (ii) incur liens, enter into agreements restricting their ability to pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates, or consolidate, merge or sell substantially all of their assets. The indentures governing the 3.625%, 4.125%, 4.625%, 5.625%, and 6.125% Senior Notes are less restrictive than the indenture governing the 5.00% Senior Notes and generally only limit MG Holdings II’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, create liens on assets, or consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets.

(a)Subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events.

As more specifically set forth in the applicable indentures, the Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable under the following circumstances:

(1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the exchange price on each applicable trading day;

(2) during the five-business day period after any five-consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the exchange rate on each such trading day;

(3) if the issuer calls the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

(4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as further described in the indentures governing the respective Exchangeable Notes.

On or after the respective exchangeable dates noted in the table above, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may exchange all or any portion of their Exchangeable Notes regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon exchange, the issuer, in its sole discretion, has the option to settle the Exchangeable Notes with cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. Any shares issued in further settlement of the notes would be offset by shares received upon exercise of the Exchangeable Note Hedges (described below).

No 2026 or 2030 Exchangeable Notes were presented for exchange during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Neither of the 2026 and 2030 Exchangeable Notes were exchangeable as of September 30, 2025.

On September 8, 2025, we repurchased $76.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Exchangeable Notes for $74.4 million in cash. The gain on extinguishment of the notes of $1.8 million is included in “other income, net” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

At both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no value in excess of the principal of each of the 2026 and 2030 Exchangeable Notes outstanding on an if-converted basis using the Company’s stock price on September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Additionally, all or any portion of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes may be redeemed for cash, at the issuer’s option, at any time, and for the 2030 Exchangeable Notes on or after July 20, 2026, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least one of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which the notice of redemption is provided, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the applicable issuer provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Exchangeable Notes Hedges and Warrants

In connection with the Exchangeable Notes offerings, the Company purchased call options allowing the Company to purchase initially (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events) the same number of shares that would be issuable upon the exchange of the applicable Exchangeable Notes at the prices per share set forth below (the “Exchangeable Notes Hedge”), and sold warrants allowing the counterparty to purchase (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events) shares at the per share prices set forth below (the “Exchangeable Notes Warrants”).

The Exchangeable Notes Hedges are expected to reduce the potential dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock upon any exchange of Exchangeable Notes and/or offset any cash payment Match Group FinanceCo 2, Inc. or Match Group FinanceCo 3, Inc. is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the exchanged notes. The Exchangeable Notes Warrants have a dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company common stock exceeds their respective strike prices.

In connection with the repurchase of $76.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes; 0.9 million underlying shares of the Exchangeable Notes Hedges and Exchangeable Notes Warrants relating to the 2026 Exchangeable Notes were settled for no value.

______________________

(a)The Company uses the if-converted method for calculating the dilutive impact of the outstanding Exchangeable Notes. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company adjusted net income attributable to Match Group, Inc. shareholders for the cash interest expense, net of income taxes, incurred on the 2026 and 2030 Exchangeable Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company also adjusted for the gain on extinguishment of debt, net of taxes, on the repurchased 2026 Exchangeable Notes. Dilutive shares were also included for the same series of Exchangeable Notes.

(b)If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding includes the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options, warrants, and subsidiary denominated equity and vesting of restricted stock units. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, 16.4 million and 15.9 million potentially dilutive securities, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 21.2 million and 17.9 million potentially dilutive securities, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(c)Market-based awards and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) are considered contingently issuable shares. Shares issuable upon exercise or vesting of market-based awards and PSUs are included in the denominator for earnings per share if (i) the applicable market or performance condition(s) has been met and (ii) the inclusion of the market-based awards and PSUs is dilutive for the respective reporting periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 2.3 million and 2.6 million market-based awards and PSUs, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the market or performance conditions had not been met.

NOTE 7—SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is our Chief Executive Officer, analyzes the results of our business through four operating segments consisting of brands or groups of brands within our portfolio: Tinder, Hinge, Evergreen & Emerging, and MG Asia. These four operating segments are also our reportable segments. Our CODM primarily evaluates the operating results and performance of our segments through revenue, operating income, and Adjusted EBITDA (numerically the same as our previous metric which was called Adjusted Operating Income). These financial metrics are used to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, compare performance between periods, and evaluate variances to forecast on a monthly basis.

The following table presents revenue by segment, which includes revenue from customers in the form of direct revenue, indirect revenue, which is primarily advertising revenue, and intersegment revenue, which is eliminated in consolidated results:

NOTE 8—CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including income and non-income tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See “Note 2—Income Taxes” for additional information related to income tax contingencies.

FTC Lawsuit Against Former Match Group

On September 25, 2019, the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Texas against the company formerly known as Match Group, Inc. See FTC v. Match Group, Inc., No. 3:19:cv-02281-K (Northern District of Texas). The complaint alleges that, prior to mid-2018, for marketing purposes Match.com notified non-paying users that other users were attempting to communicate with them, even though Match.com had identified those subscriber accounts as potentially fraudulent, thereby inducing non-paying users to subscribe and exposing them to the risk of fraud should they subscribe. The complaint also challenges the adequacy of Match.com’s disclosure of the terms of its six-month guarantee, the efficacy of its cancellation process, and its handling of chargeback disputes. The complaint seeks among other things permanent injunctive relief, civil penalties, restitution, disgorgement, and costs of suit. On March 24, 2022, the court granted our motion to dismiss with prejudice on Claims I and II of the complaint relating to communication notifications and granted our motion to dismiss with respect to all requests for monetary damages on Claims III and IV relating to the guarantee offer and chargeback policy. On July 19, 2022, the FTC filed an amended complaint adding Match Group, LLC as a defendant. The FTC is seeking up to approximately $257 million in damages and penalties. On September 11, 2023, both parties filed motions for summary judgment. On June 9, 2025, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the matter. The settlement was approved by the Court and payment of $14 million was made in the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Irish Data Protection Commission Inquiry Regarding Tinder’s Practices

On February 3, 2020, we received a letter from the Irish Data Protection Commission (the “DPC”) notifying us that the DPC had commenced an inquiry examining Tinder’s compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), focusing on Tinder’s processes for handling access and deletion requests and Tinder’s user data retention policies. On January 8, 2024, the DPC provided us with a preliminary draft decision alleging that certain of Tinder’s access and retention policies, largely relating to protecting the safety and privacy of Tinder’s users, violate GDPR requirements. We filed our response to the preliminary draft decision on March 15, 2024. Our consolidated financial statements do not reflect any provision for a loss with respect to this matter, as we do not believe there is a probable likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. However, based on the preliminary draft decision and giving due consideration to the uncertainties inherent in this process, there is at least a reasonable possibility of an exposure to loss, which could be anywhere between a nominal amount and $60 million, which we do not believe would be material to our business. We believe we have strong defenses to these claims and will defend vigorously against them.

Consumer Class Action Litigation Challenging Tinder’s Age-Tiered Pricing

On May 28, 2015, a putative state-wide class action was filed against Tinder in state court in California. See Allan Candelore v. Tinder, Inc., No. BC583162 (Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles). The complaint

MATCH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

principally alleges that Tinder violated California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act by offering and charging users over a certain age a higher price than younger users for subscriptions to its premium Tinder Plus service. Plaintiff seeks damages in an unspecified amount. On July 15, 2024, the court granted Plaintiff’s motion to certify a class of approximately 270,000 individuals based upon California Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold subscribers age 29 and over. On January 17, 2025, the court denied our motion to compel the class and the Plaintiff to arbitration. We filed a Notice of Appeal on January 24, 2025, and on April 18, 2025, the court stayed the case pending our appeal. On September 10, 2025, the parties agreed to settle the case on a class-wide basis for $60.5 million, which is included in our consolidated financial statements as “general and administrative expense” and a related accrual is included in “accrued expenses and other current liabilities.” The parties are preparing a long-form agreement reflecting the settlement terms and will then seek approval of the settlement by the Court.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Updated Financial Metrics

We have updated the title of our primary non-GAAP measure to “Adjusted EBITDA” from our previous title “Adjusted Operating Income.” We believe this updated title better aligns with our peers. Numerically, Adjusted EBITDA is the same as Adjusted Operating Income; however the starting point of the reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure has changed from operating income to net income. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for the full definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income attributable to Match Group, Inc. shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA.

Key Terms:

Operating and financial metrics:

•Tinder consists of the world-wide activity of the brand Tinder®.

•Hinge consists of the world-wide activity of the brand Hinge®.

•Evergreen & Emerging (“E&E”) consists of the world-wide activity of our Evergreen brands, which include Match®, Meetic®, OkCupid®, Plenty Of Fish®, and a number of demographically focused brands, and our Emerging brands, which include BLK®, Chispa™, The League®, Archer®, Upward®, Yuzu™, Salams®, HER™, and other smaller brands.

•Match Group Asia (“MG Asia”) consists of the world-wide activity of the brands primarily focused on Asia and the Middle East, including Pairs™ and Azar®, which has expanded into Europe and the U.S.

•Corporate and unallocated costs includes 1) corporate expenses (such as executive management, investor relations, corporate development, board of directors and public company listing fees), 2) portions of corporate services (such as legal, human resources, accounting, and tax), and 3) certain centrally managed services and technology that have not been allocated to the individual business segments (such as central trust and safety operations and certain shared software).

•Direct Revenue is revenue that is received directly from end users of our services and includes both subscription and à la carte revenue.

•Indirect Revenue is revenue that is not received directly from an end user of our services, a majority of which is advertising revenue.

•Payers are unique users at a brand level in a given month from whom we earned Direct Revenue. When presented as a quarter-to-date or year-to-date value, Payers represents the average of the monthly values for the respective period presented. At a consolidated level and a business unit level to the extent a business unit consists of multiple brands, duplicate Payers may exist when we earn revenue from the same individual at multiple brands in a given month, as we are unable to identify unique individuals across brands in the Match Group portfolio.

•Revenue Per Payer (“RPP”) is the average monthly revenue earned from a Payer and is Direct Revenue for a period divided by the Payers in the period, further divided by the number of months in the period.

Operating costs and expenses:

•Cost of revenue consists primarily of the amortization of in-app purchase fees, Variable Expenses (defined below), and employee compensation expense and stock-based compensation expense for personnel engaged in data center and customer care functions.

•Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of cost of acquisition expense and employee compensation expense and stock-based compensation expense for personnel engaged in selling and marketing, sales support, and public relations functions.

•General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation expense and stock-based compensation expense for personnel engaged in executive management, finance, accounting, legal, tax, and human resources, fees for professional services (including transaction-related costs for acquisitions), and facilities costs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024

Tinder Direct Revenue declined $12.6 million, or 3%, in 2025 versus 2024. The decrease in Direct Revenue was driven by a 7% decrease in Payers, partially offset by a 5% increase in RPP, which was positively impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and British Pound. On a consistent foreign exchange rate basis, the decline in revenue was $20.8 million, or 4%, in 2025 compared to 2024.

Hinge Direct Revenue grew $39.2 million, or 27%, in 2025 versus 2024. Revenue growth was driven by both growth in the U.S. and other English-speaking markets as well as continued expansion efforts in certain European markets. Payers increased 17% compared to 2024, and RPP increased 9% over 2024, which was positively impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro.

E&E Direct Revenue declined 4% in 2025 versus 2024. The overall decline at E&E was driven by a decline in Payers of 13% compared to 2024, partially offset by increased RPP of 10%. The Direct Revenue decline was driven by the Evergreen brands.

MG Asia Direct Revenue declined $3.0 million, or 4%, in 2025 versus 2024. Excluding revenue from Hakuna, which was shut down in the third quarter of 2024, MG Asia revenue remained flat compared to 2024. RPP decreased 10% from 2024, partially offset by a 6% increase in Payers compared to 2024. RPP was negatively impacted by the shut down of the Hakuna app in 2024 due to the high RPP associated with those Payers.

Indirect Revenue increased due to higher ad impressions compared to 2024, driven by continued strength in the advertising business.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024

Tinder Direct Revenue declined $65.5 million, or 4%, in 2025 versus 2024. The decrease in Direct Revenue was driven by a 7% decrease in Payers, partially offset by a 2% increase in RPP. Additionally, revenue was positively impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and British Pound, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar compared to the Argentine Peso. On a consistent foreign exchange rate basis, the decline was $67.0 million or 5%.

Hinge Direct Revenue grew $101.7 million, or 25%, in 2025 versus 2024. Revenue growth was driven by both growth in the U.S. and other English-speaking markets as well as continued expansion efforts in certain European markets. Payers increased 18% compared to 2024, and RPP increased 6% over 2024, as a result of pricing optimizations.

E&E Direct Revenue declined 8% in 2025 versus 2024. The overall decline at E&E was driven by a decline in Payers of 15% compared to 2024, partially offset by increased RPP of 8%. The decline is also partially due to our decision to terminate certain live streaming services in the second half of 2024.

MG Asia Direct Revenue declined $15.6 million, or 7%, in 2025 versus 2024. Excluding revenue from Hakuna, which was shut down in the third quarter of 2024, MG Asia revenue increased $0.7 million. Revenue was also negatively impacted by the strength of the U.S. dollar compared to the Turkish Lira, partially offset by weakness to the Japanese Yen.

Indirect Revenue increased primarily driven by the factors described above in the three-month discussion.

Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation)

Percentage of revenue			27%																		28%

Cost of revenue decreased primarily due to a $4.0 million decrease in Variable Expenses predominantly at Tinder driven by lower web hosting fees, and at MG Asia, due to a decrease in partner fees as a result of the termination of the Hakuna app and certain of our live streaming services in the second half of 2024. These declines were partially offset by an increase in in-app purchase fees of $2.8 million primarily at Hinge as revenue continues to grow.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024

			Nine Months Ended September 30,

For a reconciliation of operating income to Adjusted EBITDA for each reportable segment, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024

•Tinder’s operating income was $183.7 million, down 22%, and Adjusted EBITDA was $203.8 million, down 23%, primarily due to costs associated with legal settlements and the decrease in revenue.

•Hinge’s operating income was $46.3 million, an increase of 10%, and Adjusted EBITDA was $62.6 million, an increase of 22%, primarily due to continued Payer growth across all markets.

•E&E’s operating income was $31.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $47.4 million, an increase of 14%, both improving primarily due to the termination of live streaming services in 2024. The increase in operating income is also due to the decrease in impairments and amortization of intangible assets as a result of the termination of live streaming services in 2024 and decreases in employee compensation, including stock-based compensation expense associated with adjustments for certain performance award estimates and reductions in headcount.

•MG Asia’s operating income was $0.8 million, an improvement over the prior year operating loss of $18.9 million, and Adjusted EBITDA was $15.3 million. The improvement of operating income is related to impairments and amortization of intangible assets in the prior year as a result of the shut down of the Hakuna app in the second half of 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024

•Tinder’s operating income was $594.1 million, down 10%, and Adjusted EBITDA was $678.5 million, down 10%, primarily due to costs associated with legal settlements and the decrease in revenue.

•Hinge’s operating income was $113.9 million, an increase of 25%, and Adjusted EBITDA was $159.0 million, an increase of 30%, primarily due to continued Payer growth across all markets.

•E&E’s operating income was $33.7 million, down 16%, and Adjusted EBITDA was $92.1 million, down 25%, primarily due to continued decreases in revenue. Operating income was also favorably impacted by the decrease in impairments and amortization of intangible assets as a result of the termination of live streaming services in 2024 and decreases in employee compensation, including stock-based compensation expense associated with reductions in headcount and adjustments for certain performance award estimates.

•MG Asia’s operating income was $4.0 million, an improvement over the prior year of $35.9 million, and Adjusted EBITDA was $50.2 million. The change in operating income is primarily due to the decrease in impairments and amortization of intangible assets as a result of impairments in the prior year related to the shut down of the Hakuna app in the second half of 2024.

At September 30, 2025, there was $365.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years.

In 2025, the effective rate of 17% is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to changes in tax reserves.

In 2024, the effective tax rate of 23% was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the effects of nondeductible stock-based compensation, state income taxes, and foreign income taxed at higher rates. These effects were partially offset by a lower tax rate on U.S. income derived from foreign sources and research credits.

Effective income tax rate			18%																		22%

In 2025, the effective tax rate of 18% is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to a lower tax rate on U.S. income derived from foreign sources and excess tax benefits generated by the exercise or vesting of stock-based awards. These effects were partially offset by nondeductible stock-based compensation and state income taxes.

In 2024, the effective tax rate of 22% was higher than the statutory rate primarily due the effects of nondeductible stock-based compensation, state income taxes, and unfavorable tax adjustments upon the vesting of certain stock-based awards due to a higher stock price on the date such awards vested compared to the grant date fair value of such awards. These effects were partially offset by a lower tax rate on U.S. income derived from foreign sources, research credits, and a tax benefit realized upon the conclusion of certain state income tax audits.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“the Act”). The Act provides changes to U.S. federal tax law, including current expensing of U.S. research expenditures, immediate expensing of eligible capital expenditures, modifications to the limitation of business interest expense, and changes to other tax provisions in 2025 and later years. We expect the provisions of the Act to result in a reduction to our 2025 and 2026 cash tax payments. Additionally, we expect that the 2025 effective tax rate will be negatively affected by passage of the Act, primarily due to a lower deduction for U.S. income derived from foreign sources as a result of the current expensing of U.S. research expenditures. We continue to monitor interpretive guidance related to the Act. The impacts of the legislation are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2025.

A number of countries have enacted or are actively drafting legislation to implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's ("OECD") international tax framework, including the Pillar II minimum tax regime. The Company analyzed the impact of enacted legislation and determined it does not have a material impact to the income tax provision. The Company is continuing to monitor future developments.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Match Group reports Adjusted EBITDA and Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects, both of which are supplemental measures to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is among the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our business, on which our internal budget is based, and by which management is compensated. Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects provides a comparable framework for assessing how our business performed without the effect of exchange rate differences when compared to prior periods. We believe that investors should have access to the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Match Group endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measures presented by providing the comparable GAAP measures with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measures. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures, which we discuss below.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Match Group, Inc. shareholders excluding: (1) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; (2) income tax provision or benefit; (3) other income (expense), net; (4) interest expense; (5) depreciation; (6) acquisition-related items consisting of amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable; and (7) stock-based compensation expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes certain expenses. At a segment level, the closest GAAP measure is operating income (loss) as items outside operating income (loss) are not allocated to segments.

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Adjusted EBITDA

Stock-based compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants of RSUs, performance-based RSUs, and market-based awards. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding using the treasury stock method; however, performance-based RSUs and market-based awards are included only to the extent the applicable performance or market condition(s) have been met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period). To the extent stock-based awards are settled on a net basis, we remit the required tax-withholding amounts from current funds.

Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our property and equipment and is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter.

Amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets are non-cash expenses related primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as customer lists, trade names, and technology, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. Value is also assigned to (i) acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of trade names and trademarks, and (ii) goodwill, which are not subject to amortization. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. We believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.

Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates on Revenue

The impact of foreign exchange rates on the Company, due to its global reach, may be an important factor in understanding period over period comparisons if movement in exchange rates is significant. Since our results are reported in U.S. dollars, international revenue is favorably impacted as the U.S. dollar weakens relative to other currencies, and unfavorably impacted as the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to other currencies. We believe the presentation of revenue excluding the effects from foreign exchange, in addition to reported revenue, helps improve investors’ ability to understand the Company’s performance because it excludes the impact of foreign currency volatility that is not indicative of Match Group’s core operating results.

Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period. Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects is calculated by translating current period revenue using prior period exchange rates. The percentage change in revenue excluding foreign exchange effects is calculated by determining the change in current period revenue over prior period revenue where current period revenue is translated using prior period exchange rates.

The following tables present the impact of foreign exchange effects on total revenue and Direct Revenue by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024:

Cash Flow Information

In summary, the Company’s cash flows are as follows:

			Nine Months Ended September 30,
			2025						2024
			(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities			$	757,600					$	678,009
Net cash used in investing activities			(67,883)						(51,072)
Net cash used in financing activities			(617,184)						(636,126)

2025

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2025 includes adjustments to income of $194.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $54.6 million of depreciation, $35.2 million of deferred income taxes, and $29.9 million of amortization of intangibles. The increase in cash from changes in working capital primarily consists of a decrease in other assets of $43.8 million, an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $36.6 million, primarily related to the timing of payments, and an increase in net income taxes payable of $31.1 million due to timing of payments, all of which was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $16.5 million and a decrease in deferred revenue of $8.4 million.

Net cash used in investing activities in 2025 consists primarily of capital expenditures of $42.1 million primarily related to internal development of software and purchases of computer hardware and $25.8 million of other investing cash outflows.

Net cash used in financing activities in 2025 is primarily due to purchases of treasury stock of $549.9 million, the repayment of the Term Loan of $425.0 million, dividends paid of $140.9 million, payments of $115.6 million of withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards, and payment to repurchase a portion of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes of $74.4 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of the 6.125% Senior Notes of $700.0 million.

2024

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2024 includes adjustments to income of $198.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $66.9 million of depreciation, and $63.4 million of impairments and amortization of intangibles. The decrease in cash from changes in working capital primarily consists of an increase in accounts receivable of $41.4 million primarily related to the timing of cash receipts and a decrease in deferred revenue of $29.6 million, partially offset by an increase in net income taxes payable and receivable of $11.4 million due to the timing of tax payments.

Net cash used in investing activities in 2024 consists primarily of capital expenditures of $43.0 million primarily related to internal development of software and purchases of computer hardware.

Net cash used in financing activities in 2024 is primarily due to purchases of treasury stock of $630.6 million and payments of $11.4 million of withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards. These uses of cash were partially offset by $9.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to stock-based awards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents as well as cash flows generated from operations. As of September 30, 2025, $499.4 million was available under the Credit Facility.

For additional information on long-term debt, including maturity dates and interest rates, see “Note 4—Long-term Debt, net” to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements.” For additional information on operating lease payments, including a schedule of obligations by year, see “Note 13—Leases” to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8—Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company believes it has sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy these future obligations.

On January 21, 2025, the Company repaid the Term Loan in full utilizing cash on hand.

On August 20, 2025, we completed a private offering of $700 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2033. The proceeds from the issuance of these notes will be used to repay all of the outstanding 0.875% exchangeable senior notes due 2026 at or prior to their maturity and the remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

On September 8, 2025, we repurchased $76 million aggregate principal amount of 0.875% exchangeable senior notes due 2026.

The Company anticipates that it will need to make capital and other expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. The Company expects that 2025 cash capital expenditures will be between $55 million and $65 million, an increase compared to 2024 cash capital expenditures primarily related to internally developed software.

We have entered into various purchase commitments, primarily consisting of web hosting services. Our obligations under these various purchase commitments are $1.5 million for 2025, $88.2 million for 2026, $75.1 million for 2027, and $70.3 million for 2028.

At September 30, 2025, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than as described above.

On January 30, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion in aggregate value of shares of Match Group stock (the “January 2024 Share Repurchase Program”). On December 10, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a new repurchase program of up to $1.5 billion in aggregate value of shares of Match Group common stock (the “December 2024 Share Repurchase Program”). The December 2024 Share Repurchase Program took effect when the January 2024 Share Repurchase Program was exhausted, which occurred in April 2025. Under the December 2024 Share Repurchase Program, $1.10 billion in aggregate value of shares of Match Group common stock remains available as of October 31, 2025. Under the December 2024 Share Repurchase Program, shares of our common stock may be purchased on a discretionary basis from time to time, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The December 2024 Share Repurchase Program may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 17.4 million shares for $549.9 million on a trade date basis under the January 2024 and December 2024 Share Repurchase Programs. Between October 1 and October 31, 2025, we repurchased 3.0 million shares for $100.0 million on a trade date basis under the December 2024 Share Repurchase Program.

The Company currently settles substantially all stock-based awards on a net basis. Assuming all stock-based awards outstanding on October 31, 2025 were net settled at the closing price on that date, we would issue 8.8 million shares of common stock (of which 0.2 million are related to vested awards and 8.6 million are related to unvested awards) and, assuming a 50% withholding rate, would remit $283.2 million in cash for withholding taxes (of which $5.6 million is related to vested awards and $277.6 million is related to unvested awards). If we did not settle awards on a net basis and instead issued a sufficient number of shares to cover the $283.2 million employee withholding tax obligation, 8.8 million additional shares would be issued by the Company.

As of September 30, 2025, all of the Company’s international cash can be repatriated without significant tax consequences.

Our indebtedness could limit our ability to: (i) obtain additional financing to fund working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt service, or other requirements; and (ii) use operating cash flow to pursue acquisitions or invest in other areas, such as developing properties and exploiting business opportunities. The Company may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to make additional acquisitions and investments or to provide for greater financial flexibility. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Match Group management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and includes controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Overview

We are, and from time to time may become, involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business activities, such as trademark and patent infringement claims, trademark oppositions, and consumer or advertising complaints, as well as stockholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits, mass arbitrations, and other matters. The amounts that may be recovered in such matters may be subject to insurance coverage. The litigation matters described below involve issues or claims that may be of particular interest to our stockholders, regardless of whether any of these matters may be material to our financial position or operations based upon the standard set forth in the SEC’s rules.

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, entered into in connection with our separation from IAC/InterActiveCorp, now known as IAC Inc. (“IAC”), we have agreed to indemnify IAC for matters relating to any business of Former Match Group, including indemnifying IAC for costs related to the matters described below other than the matter described under the heading “Newman Derivative and Stockholder Class Action Regarding Separation Transaction”.

The official names of legal proceedings in the descriptions below (shown in italics) reflect the original names of the parties when the proceedings were filed as opposed to the current names of the parties following the separation of Match Group and IAC.

Consumer Class Action Litigation Challenging Tinder’s Age-Tiered Pricing

On May 28, 2015, a putative state-wide class action was filed against Tinder in state court in California. See Allan Candelore v. Tinder, Inc., No. BC583162 (Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles). The complaint principally alleges that Tinder violated California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act by offering and charging users over a certain age a higher price than younger users for subscriptions to its premium Tinder Plus service. Plaintiff seeks damages in an unspecified amount. On July 15, 2024, the court granted Plaintiff’s motion to certify a class based upon California Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold subscribers age 29 and over. On January 17, 2025, the court denied our motion to compel the class and the plaintiff to arbitration. We filed a Notice of Appeal on January 24, 2025, and on April 18, 2025, the court stayed the case pending our appeal. On September 10, 2025, the parties agreed to settle the case on a class-wide basis for a payment of $60.5 million. The parties are preparing a long-form agreement reflecting the settlement terms and will then seek approval of the settlement by the Court.

FTC Lawsuit Against Former Match Group

On September 25, 2019, the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Texas against the company formerly known as Match Group (“Former Match Group”). See FTC v. Match Group, Inc., No. 3:19:cv-02281-K (Northern District of Texas). The complaint alleges that, prior to mid-2018, for marketing purposes Match.com notified non-paying users that other users were attempting to communicate with them, even though Match.com had identified those subscriber accounts as potentially fraudulent, thereby inducing non-paying users to subscribe and exposing them to the risk of fraud should they subscribe. The complaint also challenges the adequacy of Match.com’s disclosure of the terms of its six-month guarantee, the efficacy of its cancellation process, and its handling of chargeback disputes. The complaint seeks, among other things, permanent injunctive relief, civil penalties, restitution, disgorgement, and costs of suit. On March 24, 2022, the court granted our motion to dismiss with prejudice on Claims I and II of the complaint relating to communication notifications and granted our motion to dismiss with respect to all requests for monetary damages on Claims III and IV relating to the guarantee offer and chargeback policy. On July 19, 2022, the FTC filed an amended complaint adding Match Group, LLC as a defendant. On September 11, 2023, both parties filed motions for summary judgment. On June 9, 2025, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the matter, under which we would pay $14 million. The Court approved the settlement on August 13, 2025.

Irish Data Protection Commission Inquiry Regarding Tinder’s Practices

On February 3, 2020, we received a letter from the Irish Data Protection Commission (the “DPC”) notifying us that the DPC had commenced an inquiry examining Tinder’s compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), focusing on Tinder’s processes for handling access and deletion requests and Tinder’s user data retention policies. On January 8, 2024, the DPC provided us with a preliminary draft decision alleging that certain of Tinder’s access and retention policies, largely relating to protecting the safety and privacy of Tinder’s users, violate GDPR requirements. We filed our response to the preliminary draft decision on March 15, 2024. We believe we have strong defenses to these claims and will defend vigorously against them.

Newman Derivative and Stockholder Class Action Regarding Separation Transaction

On June 24, 2020, a Former Match Group shareholder filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Former Match Group and its board of directors, as well as Match Group, IAC Holdings, Inc., and Barry Diller seeking to recover unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company and directly as a result of his ownership of Former Match Group stock in relation to the separation of Former Match Group from its former majority shareholder, Match Group. See David Newman et al. v. IAC/Interactive Corp. et al., C.A. No. 2020-0505-MTZ (Delaware Court of Chancery). The complaint alleges that that the special committee established by Former Match Group’s board of directors to negotiate with Match Group regarding the separation transaction was not sufficiently independent of control from Match Group and Mr. Diller and that Former Match Group board members failed to adequately protect Former Match Group’s interest in negotiating the separation transaction, which resulted in a transaction that was unfair to Former Match Group and its shareholders. On January 21, 2021, the case was consolidated with other shareholder actions, and an amended complaint was filed on April 14, 2021. See In Re Match Group, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 2020-0505-MTZ (Delaware Court of Chancery). On September 1, 2022, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss with prejudice. On October 3, 2022, plaintiffs filed an amended notice of appeal with the Delaware Supreme Court, and on April 4, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court reversed and remanded the Chancery Court’s dismissal, except for the Chancery Court’s dismissal of derivative claims, which the Supreme Court affirmed. On March 14, 2025, the parties reached a settlement in principle, and the Court approved the settlement on September 17, 2025.

FTC Investigation of Certain Subsidiary Data Privacy Representations

On March 19, 2020, the FTC issued an initial Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) to the Company requiring us to produce certain documents and information regarding the allegedly wrongful conduct of OkCupid in 2014 and our public statements in 2019 regarding such conduct and whether such conduct and statements were unfair or deceptive under the FTC Act. On May 26, 2022, the FTC filed a Petition to Enforce Match Civil Investigative Demand, and on June 20, 2025, the Court ordered that the FTC’s Petition be granted in part and denied in part. See FTC v. Match Group, Inc., No. 1:22-mc-00054 (District of Columbia). We believe we have strong defenses to any allegations of wrongdoing and intend to defend vigorously against them.

Meslage Securities Class Action And Related Derivative Actions

On November 25, 2024, a Match Group stockholder filed a complaint in the Central District of California against Match Group, Inc., its Chief Executive Officer, and its President and Chief Financial Officer seeking to recover unspecified monetary damages on behalf of a putative class of acquirers of Match Group securities between May 2, 2023 and November 6, 2024. See Sébastian Meslage v. Match Group, Inc. et al., No: 2:24-cv-10153-MEMF-PVC (Central District of California). The complaint alleges that Match Group materially understated the challenges affecting its Tinder business and, as a result, understated the risk that Tinder's monthly active user count would not recover by the time the Company reported its financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2024. On July 24, 2025, the court appointed Evan Weisz as the lead plaintiff. On September 22, 2025, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed without prejudice the Meslage putative class action as to all defendants.

In addition, in December 2024, purported Match Group stockholders filed two derivative complaints in the Central District of California (nominally on behalf of the Company) against certain of Match Group, Inc.’s current and former executive officers and members of its board of directors, alleging violations of the federal securities laws and breach of fiduciary duty stemming from the same or similar purported misrepresentations as the securities class action. See Hollin v. Kim, et al., No. 2:24-CV-10776 (Central District of California), and Roy v Kim, et al., No. 2:24-cv-11007 (Central District of California). In August 2025, a third derivative complaint was filed in the Central District of California alleging similar causes of action. See Habedus v. Kim, et al., No. 2:25-cv-07171

(Central District of California). On September 9, 2025, the court dismissed the Habedus derivative action with prejudice as to all defendants. As to the remaining derivative actions, we believe that we have strong defenses to the allegations and will defend vigorously against them.

Netherlands Privacy Class Action

On December 17, 2024, a writ of summons was filed against MTCH Technologies Services Limited, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, and Match Group, Inc. in the District Court of Amsterdam. Among other things, the lawsuit alleges that defendants unlawfully collected, processed, and shared Dutch Tinder users’ personal data without proper consent in violation of GDPR and Dutch consumer protection laws. See Stichting Take Back Your Privacy v. MTCH Technologies Services Limited et al. (Amsterdam). The lawsuit purports to represent a class of Dutch Tinder users from May 25, 2018 until the court’s final judgment and seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief. On May 7, 2025, we filed a motion contesting jurisdiction, and the plaintiff filed an opposition on June 18, 2025. We believe that we have strong defenses to the allegations and will defend vigorously against them.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements.” The use of words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “will,” and “would,” among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to: Match Group’s future financial performance, Match Group’s business prospects and strategy, anticipated trends and prospects in the industries in which Match Group’s businesses operate, and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on Match Group management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events as of the date of this quarterly report, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.

Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among others: our ability to maintain or grow the size of our user base and convert users to paying users, the success of our product strategies, competition, our ability to realize reductions in in-app purchase fees, the limited operating history of some of our brands, our ability to attract users to our services through cost-effective marketing and related efforts, our ability to distribute our services through third parties and offset related fees, risks related to our use of artificial intelligence, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (including anticipated gains from fluctuations), the integrity and scalability of our systems and infrastructure (and those of third parties) and our ability to adapt ours to changes in a timely and cost-effective manner, our ability to protect our systems from cyberattacks and to protect personal and confidential user information, impacts to our offices and employees from more frequent extreme weather events, risks relating to certain of our international operations and acquisitions, damage to our brands' reputations as a result of inappropriate actions by users of our services, and macroeconomic conditions.

Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in Match Group’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in Part I “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect Match Group’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may arise from time to time. In light of these risks and uncertainties, these forward-looking statements discussed in this quarterly report may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which only reflect the views of Match Group management as of the date of this quarterly report. Match Group does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.
