Match Group management commentary reported third-quarter 2026 revenue fell 3% to $891 million, reflecting payer declines.
Adjusted EBITDA reached $344 million, beating management expectations primarily because marketing spending shifted into the fourth quarter.
Excluding the prior-year $61 million legal settlement charge, adjusted EBITDA fell 5%, primarily reflecting higher Tinder and Hinge marketing spending.
Tinder's daily active users returned to year-over-year growth in September, which management attributed to improvements in products and recommendations.
Hinge direct revenue grew 19% on payer growth; E&E revenue fell 20%, reflecting Azar's app redesign and weakness across other brands.
