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 Sparks 1 and Sparks Coverage 2 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.⁷ 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 outstanding 3 by 4% Y/Y 4 , and 10% since the beginning of 2025.⁸ 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."

Dividend Declaration

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

6, 2027.
