Spencer Rascoff

Match Group delivered a strong start to the year. Tinder works better today than it did before. Our product changes are resonating with Gen Z and driving improvements in leading indicators, which is a clear signal that Tinder's ecosystem is strengthening. Hinge delivered another strong quarter and launched category-first features for highly intentioned daters that are improving outcomes. We are maintaining disciplined execution across the business, driving efficiency while continuing to invest in our highest-priority growth opportunities. We’ve built a stronger foundation for the business over the past year, and are well-positioned to drive continued progress throughout 2026 and beyond.
