Management Comments
Whitney Wolfe Herd
We are executing against a clear roadmap of exciting new ways for our members to experience Bumble. This next chapter is designed to enable our healthier, more engaged member base to connect more intuitively and move more confidently and quickly to in-person dates. There is more happening at Bumble today than at any point in years - we are completing our platform migration, transforming our matching algorithms, giving members new ways to start a conversation, expanding how they meet in real life, and building toward new group experiences - all converging into the reimagined Bumble we expect to bring to members.

We delivered second quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA at the higher end or above our guidance ranges, as we continue to execute with financial discipline. We are now deliberately investing across product, technology, and brand as we prepare to deliver on our innovation roadmap and position the company for long-term growth.
