MATCH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

### 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. 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, 2025.

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 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.

MATCH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

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 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, 2025 was

$151.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $126.9 million

of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2025. The current

deferred revenue balance at March 31, 2026 is $150.3 million. At March 31, 2026 and December 31,

2025, there was no non-current portion of deferred revenue.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

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 adopted by the Company

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“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. We adopted

ASU No. 2024-04 effective January 1, 2026. We adopted the new standard on a prospective basis. No

induced conversions have occurred in the period of adoption.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company

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 impact to our results of operations, cash flows,

and financial condition. We are currently 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 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 March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded an income tax

provision of $33.7 million and $22.4 million, respectively.

The effective tax rates for the three-month periods in 2026 and 2025 of 17% and 16%,

respectively, were lower than the statutory rate primarily due to excess tax benefits generated by the

exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, U.S. income derived from foreign sources, and research

credits. These effects were partially offset by nondeductible stock-based compensation and state

income taxes.

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 and 2021 tax years are 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and

penalties, were $67.1 million and $64.0 million, respectively. If unrecognized tax benefits at March 31,

2026 are subsequently recognized, income tax expense would be reduced by $66.2 million, net of

related deferred tax assets and interest. The comparable amount as of December 31, 2025 was $58.5

million.

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 March 31,

2026 and 2025 were not material. At March 31, 2026, noncurrent income taxes payable includes

accrued interest and penalties of $4.1 million. The comparable amount as of December 31, 2025 was

$3.6 million.

### NOTE 3—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Equity securities without readily determinable fair values

At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s investments

in equity securities without readily determinable fair values totaled $33.3 million, and is included in

“Other non-current assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The cumulative downward

MATCH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

adjustments (including impairments) and upward adjustments to the carrying value of equity securities

without readily determinable fair values through March 31, 2026 were $2.2 million and $6.7 million,

respectively. For both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 March 31, 2026 and

December 31, 2025, the Company has elected the measurement alternative. For both the three months

ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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.

- 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 quarter ended March 31, 2026, Apple removed the Azar app from the Apple App Store

following a February 6, 2026 update to Apple’s App Review Guidelines. Updates were subsequently

made to the app to comply with the updated guidelines, which led to the reinstatement of a new version

of the Azar app. Based on these recent events, the financial outlook for Azar changed and the Company

performed impairment assessments for the non-financial assets associated with Azar. An impairment

charge of $25.2 million related to the Azar trade name was recognized in the quarter ended March 31,

2026 based on a $33.4 million current fair value, which was determined using an avoided royalty

discounted cash flow valuation. The Company also reclassified the Azar trade name from indefinite-

lived intangible assets to the definite-lived intangible asset category as of March 31, 2026. There were

no other impairments identified for any other long-lived assets associated with Azar or the goodwill

associated with the MG Asia reporting unit as of March 31, 2026.

Credit Facility

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 a revolving credit

facility (the “Credit Facility”).

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

March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2026. 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 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.

MATCH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

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 March 31, 2026. 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.

The Senior Notes all rank equally in right of payment.

(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).

There were not any 2026 or 2030 Exchangeable Notes presented for exchange during the three

(a)The Company uses the if-converted method for calculating the dilutive impact of the

outstanding Exchangeable Notes. For both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025,

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.

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 months ended

March 31, 2026 and 2025, 22.6 million and 25.1 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 months ended

March 31, 2026 and 2025, 2.5 million and 3.8 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. 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:

Corporate and unallocated costs includes 1) corporate expenses (such as executive management,

investor relations, corporate development, and board of director 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).

Our CODM does not review disaggregated assets on a segment basis; therefore, such information

is not presented. Interest income and other income, net are not allocated to individual segments as

these are managed on a consolidated basis. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the

same as for our consolidated financial statements.

The following tables present the significant segment expenses regularly reviewed by our CODM:

### 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.

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.

Azar Business Update

On February 22, 2026, Apple removed the Azar app from the Apple App Store following a February

6, 2026 update to Apple’s App Review Guidelines. Updates were subsequently made to the app to

comply with the updated guidelines, which led to the reinstatement of a new version on April 6, 2026.

This temporary removal resulted in lower Direct Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

We also updated the business forecast associated with the Azar app, which resulted in an impairment

of $25.2 million to the indefinite-lived asset associated with the Azar trade name.

| Total | $20.90 | $1.83 | 10% | $19.07 |

Tinder Direct Revenue increased $7.3 million, or 2%. The increase in Direct Revenue was driven

by a 7% increase in RPP, which was positively impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar compared

to the Euro, partially offset by a 5% decrease in Payers. On a consistent foreign exchange rate basis,

Direct Revenue declined $13.1 million, or 3%.

Hinge Direct Revenue grew $42.3 million, or 28%. Revenue growth was driven by continued

growth in certain European expansion markets. Payers increased 15% compared to 2025, and RPP

increased 11% over 2025. RPP was positively impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar compared

to the Euro.

E&E Direct Revenue declined $10.0 million, or 7%. The decline at E&E was driven by a decline in

Payers of 16%, partially offset by increased RPP of 11%. RPP was positively impacted by the

weakening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro.

MG Asia Direct Revenue declined $4.1 million, or 6%. Payers were down 9%, partially impacted by

the temporary Azar app removal discussed in the Azar business update above. Partially offsetting this

decline is an increase of 2% in RPP.

Indirect Revenue decreased due to lower direct advertisement revenue compared to 2025.

| Percentage of revenue | 24% |  |  | 29% |

Cost of revenue decreased across all segments primarily due to Payers shifting from app store

payments to alternate payment methods, resulting in a decrease of $24.1 million within in-app purchase

fees and an increase of $3.8 million in credit card processing fees.

Selling and marketing expense

| Percentage of revenue | 19% |  |  | 19% |

Tinder and Hinge, partially offset by reductions at E&E and MG Asia.

| Percentage of revenue | 10% |  |  | 13% |

General and administrative expense decreased primarily due to Canada rescinding its digital sales

tax resulting in a $10.2 million reversal of expense during the quarter, and a reduction in headcount

decreasing employee compensation and stock-based compensation by $8.6 million and $7.2 million,

respectively, primarily within Corporate and Unallocated Costs and E&E.

Depreciation was lower in 2026 compared to 2025 primarily due to a decrease in depreciation of

internally developed software at Tinder as certain assets became fully depreciated in the prior year.

For a reconciliation of operating income to Adjusted EBITDA for each reportable segment, see

“Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

- Tinder’s operating income was $215.9 million, up 12%, and Adjusted EBITDA was $237.1

million, up 4%, primarily due to the reduction in both in-app purchase fees and employee

compensation expense, partially offset by an increase in cost of acquisition. Operating income

further benefited from a reduction in depreciation and stock-based compensation expense.

- Hinge’s operating income was $56.1 million, an increase of 96%, and Adjusted EBITDA was

$70.5 million, an increase of 66%, primarily due to continued Payer growth, partially offset by

increased cost of acquisition.

- E&E’s operating income was $21.5 million, an increase of $14.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA

was $39.4 million, an increase of 37%, both improving primarily due to a reduction in employee

compensation expense, cost of acquisition, and in-app purchase fees. These reductions were

partially offset by the decrease in revenue.

- MG Asia’s operating loss was $17.6 million, changing from operating income of $3.4 million in

the prior year quarter, and Adjusted EBITDA was $21.1 million, up 11%. The operating loss is

primarily due to impairments of intangible assets as discussed in the Azar business update

above.

At March 31, 2026, there was $446.4 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 2.3 years.

| Interest expense | $42,525 | $7,269 | 21% | $35,256 |

Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of the 6.125% Senior Notes in August

| Effective income tax rate | 17% |  |  | 16% |

In 2026 and 2025, the effective rates of 17% and 16%, respectively, were lower than the statutory

rate primarily due to the excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based

awards, U.S. income derived from foreign sources, and research credits. These effects were partially

offset by nondeductible stock-based compensation and state income taxes.

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, including the side-by-side safe harbor, which would exclude U.S.-

parented multinational enterprises from the scope of certain Pillar II taxes.

For further details of income tax matters see “Note 2—Income Taxes” to the consolidated financial

statements included in “Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements.”

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 or loss 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 (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible

assets, if applicable, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in fair value of contingent

consideration arrangements, as 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.

The following tables reconcile net income attributable to Match Group, Inc. shareholders to

Adjusted EBITDA for the Company’s reportable segments and at a consolidated level:

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 months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended

Long-term Debt

For a detailed description of long-term debt, see “Note 4—Long-term Debt, net” to the

consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Cash Flow Information

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

_(In thousands)_

| Line item | Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $194,358 | $193,117 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (20,384) | (16,494) |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (179,373) | (740,296) |

2026

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2026 includes adjustments to income of $58.6 million

of stock-based compensation expense, $33.8 million of impairment and amortization of intangibles,

$14.1 million of depreciation, and $11.6 million of deferred income taxes. The decrease in cash from

changes in working capital was primarily due to a decrease from accounts payable and other liabilities

of $98.0 million as the settlement of $60.5 million from the Allan Candelore v. Tinder lawsuit was paid

into escrow during the quarter in addition to the timing of other payments, and a decrease from other

assets of $9.5 million. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase from accounts receivable of

$9.0 million, and an increase from net income taxes of $6.5 million due to timing of payments.

Net cash used in investing activities in 2026 is capital expenditures of $20.4 million primarily

related to internal development of software.

Net cash used in financing activities in 2026 is primarily due to payments of $74.8 million of

withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards, purchases of

treasury stock of $60.1 million, and dividends paid of $44.2 million.

2025

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2025 includes adjustments to earnings of $70.4 million

of stock-based compensation expense, $21.7 million of depreciation, and $10.5 million of impairments

and amortization of intangibles. The decrease in cash from changes in working capital primarily consists

of a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $49.3 million, primarily related to the timing of

payments, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $8.6 million primarily related to the decrease in

revenue, partially offset by a decrease in other assets of $15.2 million and the increase in income taxes

payable and receivable of $11.5 million due to timing of payments and receipts.

Net cash used in investing activities in 2025 consists primarily of capital expenditures of $15.4

million primarily related to internal development of software and purchases of computer hardware.

Net cash used in financing activities in 2025 is primarily due to the repayment of the Term Loan of

$425.0 million, purchases of treasury stock of $188.7 million, payments of $78.7 million of withholding

taxes paid on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards, and dividends paid of $47.8

million.

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 March 31, 2026, $499.4 million was available under the Credit

Facility. On April 23, 2026, we used $100 million of cash on hand to make a minority interest investment

in Sniffies. We plan to use $424 million of cash on hand to repay the outstanding 2026 Exchangeable

Notes at or prior to their maturity in June 2026.

The Company has various obligations related to long-term debt instruments and operating leases.

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 12—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, 2025. The Company believes it has sufficient cash flows

from operations to satisfy these future obligations.

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 2026 cash capital

expenditures will be between $65 million and $75 million, an increase to 2025 cash capital expenditures

primarily due to an increase in computer hardware and leasehold improvements.

We have entered into various purchase commitments, primarily consisting of web hosting services.

Our obligations under these various purchase commitments are $21.7 million for the remainder of 2026,

$71.0 million for 2027, and $70.3 million for 2028.

At March 31, 2026, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than as described

above.

On December 10, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to

$1.5 billion in aggregate value of shares of Match Group common stock (the “Share Repurchase

Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, $876 million in aggregate value of shares of Match

Group common stock remains available for repurchase as of April 30, 2026. Under the 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 Share Repurchase Program may be commenced, suspended or

discontinued at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 2.0 million

shares for $60.1 million on a trade date basis under the Share Repurchase Program. Between April 1

and April 30, 2026, we repurchased 0.7 million shares for $22.2 million on a trade date basis under the

Share Repurchase Program.

The Company currently settles substantially all stock-based awards on a net basis. Assuming all

stock-based awards outstanding on April 30, 2026 were net settled at the closing price on that date, we

would issue 9.1 million shares of common stock (of which 0.1 million are related to vested awards and

9.0 million are related to unvested awards) and, assuming a 50% withholding rate, would remit $340.5

million in cash for withholding taxes (of which $4.4 million is related to vested awards and $336.1 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 $340.5 million employee withholding tax obligation, 9.1 million additional

shares would be issued by the Company.

As of March 31, 2026, 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND 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 U.S. GAAP. These

estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and

expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from

these estimates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to the Company’s

critical accounting policies and estimates since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for

the year ended December 31, 2025.

## Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to the Company’s

instruments or positions that are sensitive to market risk since the disclosure in our Annual Report on

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

## Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its disclosure controls and procedures

and internal control over financial reporting in order to improve their overall effectiveness. In the course

of these evaluations, the Company modifies and refines its internal processes as conditions warrant.

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

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.

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, and on January 13, 2026, the court

preliminarily approved the settlement agreement. The settlement amount was placed into escrow in

January 2026, pending the final court approval.

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.

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). On February 23, 2026, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve

the investigation. The settlement was approved by the FTC and filed with the Northern District of Texas

on March 30, 2026, where it is pending final approval. Pursuant to the stipulated order, certain of the

Company’s subsidiaries agreed not to misrepresent their privacy practices, including with respect to the

collection, use, or disclosure of personal information. The stipulated order also includes provisions

allowing the FTC to monitor the subsidiaries’ compliance.

Securities Derivative Actions

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 allegations 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. 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. On April 16,

2026, the court in the Roy derivative action granted the plaintiff's request to voluntarily dismiss the case

without prejudice. As to the remaining derivative action, 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: failure to retain existing users or add new users, or if users

do not convert to paying users; competition; risks related to our restructuring and reorganization

activities; our ability to attract and retain users through cost-effective marketing efforts; our reliance on a

variety of third-party platforms, in particular, mobile app stores; our ability to realize reductions in in-app

purchase fees; inappropriate actions by certain of our users could be attributed to us or may not be

adequately prevented by us; dependence on our key personnel; volatile global economic conditions;

operational and financial risks in connection with acquisitions; impairment charges related to our

intangible assets; operations in various international markets, including certain markets in which we

have limited experience; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; challenges in measuring our user

metrics and other estimates; the limited operating history of our newer brands and services makes it

difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects; impacts of climate change; the integrity

of our and third parties’ systems and infrastructure; cyberattacks on our systems and infrastructure and

cyberattacks experienced by third parties; our ability to access, collect, and use personal data about our

users; breaches or unauthorized access of personal and confidential or sensitive user information that

we maintain and store; challenges with properly managing the use of artificial intelligence; risks related

to credit card payments; risks related to our use of “open source” software; complex and evolving U.S.,

foreign, and international laws and regulations; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights or

accusations that we infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others; adverse outcomes in

litigation; risks related to our taxation in multiple jurisdictions; risks related to our indebtedness; and

risks relating to ownership of our common stock.

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, 2025. 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.
