Match Group, Inc. · 2026-08-04 · Importance 48 · Surprise 40 · Contradicted

Match Group adjusted EBITDA rose 14% year over year to $331 million, producing a 39% adjusted EBITDA margin. Tinder adjusted EBITDA declined 5% to $233 million, with a 50% margin, partly reflecting approximately $8 million of Q2 revenue pressure from user-experience tests and product changes. Hinge adjusted EBITDA increased 48% to $79 million, with a 39% margin, while E&E adjusted EBITDA increased 69% to $54 million, with a 30% margin. Management attributed the full-year margin outlook to better Tinder revenue trends, alternative-payment savings, and company-wide cost discipline, partly offset by higher Tinder and Hinge marketing.
