Match Group (NASDAQ: MTCH) lifts profit as Hinge growth offsets Tinder softness
Match Group reported Q2 2026 revenue of $853.1 million, down 1% year over year, while net income attributable to shareholders increased 36% to $170.5 million and diluted EPS was $0.70. For the first half of 2026, revenue rose 1% to $1.72 billion and net income grew 39% to $337.4 million.
Profitability improved mainly from a 16% reduction in cost of revenue as users shifted from app-store to alternative payment methods, lowering in-app purchase fees. Q2 Adjusted EBITDA increased 14% to $331.3 million, and first-half Adjusted EBITDA rose 19% to $674.2 million.
Tinder revenue was essentially flat with 5% fewer Payers but higher revenue per Payer; Hinge Direct Revenue grew 22% on 17% Payer growth and higher RPP; Everyone Everywhere revenue declined 17%, partly from Apple’s temporary removal of the Azar app and a $25.2 million Azar trade-name impairment. First-half cash from operations reached $564.2 million, funding $245.4 million of share repurchases, $90.9 million of dividends, and settlement of $423.9 million of 2026 Exchangeable Notes. At June 30, 2026, long-term debt, net, was $3.55 billion and cash and equivalents were $580.6 million. The Irish Data Protection Commission issued a draft GDPR decision on Tinder with a proposed fine between €8 million and €11 million, for which a $9.1 million provision was recorded.
