Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of the Company’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its disclosure controls and procedures in order

to improve their overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, the Company modifies and refines its

internal processes as conditions warrant.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, Match Group management, including the Chief

Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the

period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as

defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that the

Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control

over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the Company. The Company’s

internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the

reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance

with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Management assessed the effectiveness of

the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, our

management used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal

Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway

Commission in 2013. Based on this assessment, management has determined that, as of December 31, 2025, the

Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The effectiveness of our internal control over

financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered

public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report, included herein.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect

misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that

controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the

policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its internal control over financial reporting in

order to improve its overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, the Company modifies and refines

its internal processes as conditions warrant. As required by Rule 13a-15(d), Match Group management, including

the CEO and the CFO, also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to

determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially

affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Match Group, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Match Group, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,

2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of

Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion,

Match Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control

over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

(United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024,

the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive operations, shareholders’ equity and cash

flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial

statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated February 26, 2026 expressed an

unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and

for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion

on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm

registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with

the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange

Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan

and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial

reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that

a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control

based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the

circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance

regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes

in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial

reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in

reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial

statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of

the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the

company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized

acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial

statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect

misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that

controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the

policies or procedures may deteriorate.
