Management Comments
Spencer Rascoff
Tinder finally looks and feels like the app young daters want to use. We have improved our recommendation algorithms, strengthened Trust and Safety, introduced new ways to connect with features like Double Date and Music Mode, and completed Tinder’s first full rebrand in nearly a decade, and these changes are driving meaningful gains in metrics like DAU and retention to date. The next step is winning back singles who’ve drifted away, and reaching those who’ve never tried Tinder at all. In-person Events, now live in the U.S. and Europe, are an important part of that strategy. Meanwhile, Hinge is expanding rapidly in new countries and has become a global leader in the intentional dating category, and E&E is more streamlined and focused than ever, with sharper priorities centered on user outcomes and continued product innovation. Match Group is having a great 2026, positioning us well for 2027.
