Current report

In June 2025, we announced our decision to reduce our global workforce (the “2025 Restructuring Plan”) by approximately 240 roles, representing approximately 30% of our employees, as we realign our operating structure to optimize execution on our strategic priorities. As a result, we expect to incur approximately $13.0 million to $18.0 million of total non-recurring charges through the fourth quarter of 2025, consisting primarily of employee severance, benefits, and related charges for impacted employees.

Current report

Total Revenue was $248.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $268.6 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in Total Paying Users, partially offset by an increase in Total Average Revenue per Paying User and favorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Current report

Bumble App Revenue was $201.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $218.0 million for the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by an 11.3% decline in Bumble App Paying Users to 2.5 million, partially offset by a 4.1% increase in Bumble App ARPPU to $26.85 and favorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Current report

Badoo App and Other Revenue was $92.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $102.7 million for the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a 1.2% decline in Badoo App and Other Paying Users to 1.3 million, a 8.2% decline in Badoo App and Other ARPPU to $11.14, and unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Current report

Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $5.7 million, or 7.1%, compared to the same period in 2024. Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $13.6 million, or 8.5%, compared to the same period in 2024. The decreases in cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were driven primarily by decreases in in-app purchase fees due to lower revenue.

Current report

Selling and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $35.5 million, or 52.5%, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a $34.4 million decrease in marketing costs.

Current report

Selling and marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $39.4 million, or 30.0%, compared to the same period in 2024. The change was primarily due to a $36.8 million decrease in marketing costs and a $5.3 million decrease in personnel costs from restructuring-related headcount reductions, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation driven by higher restructuring-related forfeitures in the 2024 period.

Current report

The decrease in marketing expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to our decision to remove certain planned spend during the second quarter of 2025, in particular on non-organic channels. These reductions reflect our strategic shift away from paid member acquisition and performance marketing in favor of brand and organic investment.

Current report

General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $0.2 million, or 0.5%, compared to the same period in 2024. The change was primarily driven by a $4.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation primarily due to the departure of officers in the first quarter of 2025, a $2.1 million decrease in legal and professional fees, and a $0.9 million decrease in other overheads, partially offset by a $5.4 million unfavorable fluctuation in fair value of the contingent earn-out liabilities and a $1.5 million increase in personnel costs.

Current report

Product development expense in the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $15.3 million, or 29.6%, compared to the same period in 2024. The change was primarily driven by a $12.3 million increase in stock-based compensation due to equity awards granted in the first six months of 2025 and higher restructuring-related forfeitures in the 2024 period, as well as a $2.5 million increase in subscription expense.

Current report

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $10.4 million, or 61.0%, compared to the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $18.0 million, or 52.6%, compared to the same period in 2024. The decreases in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily driven by the full amortization of Bumble and Badoo's developed technology in February 2025.

Current report

On July 4, 2025, H.R.1, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was enacted in the U.S., which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying certain key Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions (both domestic and international), and provisions allowing accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others to be implemented through 2027. While we are evaluating the full effects of the legislation on our estimated annual effective tax rate and cash tax position, we expect that the legislation will likely not have a material impact on our financial statements. As the legislation was signed into law after June 30, 2025, it had no impact on our operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

On June 28, 2025, the G7 announced a political agreement indicating that U.S.-parented multinational enterprises would not be subject to additional top-up taxes under the OECD Pillar Two global minimum tax rules in other jurisdictions. We are evaluating the potential implications of this statement; however, given the preliminary nature of the announcement and the absence of implementing legislation or guidance, no impact has been recorded. We will continue to monitor the implementation of Pillar Two legislation (both proposed and enacted) by individual countries, including the release of administrative guidance on the application of the GloBE rules, and the potential impact to our financial position.

Current report

In June 2025, we announced our decision to reduce our global workforce by approximately 240 roles, representing approximately 30% of our employees, as we realign our operating structure to optimize execution on our strategic priorities. As a result, we expect to incur approximately $13.0 million to $18.0 million of total non-recurring charges through the fourth quarter of 2025, consisting primarily of employee severance, benefits, and related charges for impacted employees.

Current report

In February 2025, we announced our decision to discontinue our operation of the Fruitz and Official apps. The Official app was discontinued during the second quarter of 2025 and Fruitz was sold to a third party in July 2025. We expect to incur approximately $1.4 million of expenses through the third quarter of 2025, primarily related to empl oyee severance, benefits and related charges for impacted employees.

Current report

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we made cash payments of $1.8 million and $15.2 million, respectively, in connection with our restructuring activities.

As previously disclosed, we are in the process of implementing a new strategy and transformation plan intended to deliver durable member value and drive long-term sustainable revenue. As part of this new strategy, we are focusing on fostering a vibrant and healthy membership base, improving the member experience through product innovation and optimization of operations, and evolving our revenue strategy to ensure we deliver value at every step of our members’ journey. As we address these areas of focus, our member growth and success in attracting new members, member engagement and monetization may be negatively impacted. In addition, efforts to improve the health of our membership base, including the removal of bad actors from our apps and changes to our member acquisition strategy, may adversely affect revenue and paying users in the short term. Furthermore, if we do not successfully implement our new strategy, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

As previously disclosed, we are in the process of implementing a new strategy and transformation plan intended to deliver durable member value and drive long-term sustainable revenue. As part of this strategy, we are focusing on fostering a vibrant and healthy membership base, improving the member experience through product innovation, including increased use of artificial intelligence in our product and in the optimization of our operations, modernizing our technology to better deliver product innovation, and evolving our revenue strategy to ensure we deliver value at every step of our members’ journey. To align with these priorities, we have strategically shifted away from paid member acquisition and performance marketing in favor of brand and organic investment. As we address these areas of focus, our member growth and success in attracting new members, member engagement and monetization may be negatively impacted.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized impairment charges of $3.6 million for the Official asset group due to the anticipated discontinuation of the Official app.

Current wording

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we identified a potential impairment triggering event related to our indefinite-lived assets and goodwill. The triggering event was related to our revised 2025 outlook, which reflects a strategic shift to improve the health of our membership base. As a result, we performed an interim impairment test. Based on the results of the test, we recognized impairment charges of $140.0 million for indefinite-lived intangible assets and $258.1 million for goodwill during the three months ended June 30, 2025. We also recorded an impairment charge of $6.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 in conjunction with the classification of Fruitz to held for sale. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized impairment charges of $3.6 million for the Official asset group due to the anticipated discontinuation of the Official app. There were no impairment charges recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous wording

We have historically recorded impairment charges related toour indefinite-lived assets, long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets, and goodwill. It is reasonably possible that changes in judgments, assumptions and estimates we made in assessing the fair values of these assets could cause us to consider some portion, or all of the remaining carrying values of these assets, to become impaired. A further decline in our stock price, economic downturns, a decline in market conditions and/or unfavorable industry trends could potentially trigger impairment tests in the future. In addition, reduced demand for our products, slower growth rates in our industry, and changes in market-based interest rates could negatively impact the estimated future cash flows and discount rates used in the income approach to determine the fair values of these assets and could result in an impairment charge in the future.

Previous wording

Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $3.1 million, or 35.1%, compared to the same period in 2024. This change was primarily driven by a decrease in interest income on our interest rate swaps and a decrease in investments in money market funds, partially offset by a decrease in interest rates on our outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement.

Current wording

Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $1.2 million, or 13.0%, compared to the same period in 2024. Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $4.3 million, or 23.9%, compared to the same period in 2024. These changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily driven by lower interest income on our interest rate swaps and reduced investments in money market funds, partially offset by a decrease in interest rates on our outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement.

Previous wording

Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $8.2 million, compared to the same period in 2024. The change was primarily due to $6.0 million net foreign currency exchange losses in three months ended March 31, 2025.

Other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $(18.7) million, compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2024. These changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily driven by net foreign currency exchange losses.

Previous wording

Income tax provision was $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2024. The income tax provision is lower year over year for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in Income before income taxes for 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

Current wording

Income tax provision was $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2024 and $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $12.1 million for the same period in 2024. The income tax provision increased year over year for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to higher foreign taxes resulting from a shift in the jurisdictional mix of earnings.

Previous wording

On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released the Pillar Two model rules providing a framework for implementing a 15% minimum tax, also referred to as the Global Anti-Base Erosion ("GloBE") rules, on earnings of multinational companies with consolidated annual revenue exceeding €750 million. Pillar Two legislation has been enacted in certain jurisdictions where we operate, including the UK and certain EU member states, and is effective for our financial year beginning January 1, 2024. We have performed an assessment of our exposure to Pillar Two income taxes, including our ability to qualify for transitional safe harbor relief under the GloBE rules. While we expect to qualify for transitional safe harbor relief in most jurisdictions in which we operate, there are a limited number of jurisdictions where the transitional safe harbor is not available, including for certain entities classified as “stateless” constituent entities under the Pillar Two model rules. Our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, includes the effects of Pillar Two minimum taxes based on currently enacted legislation and guidance. We are monitoring the implementation of Pillar Two legislation (both proposed and enacted) by individual countries, including the release of administrative guidance on the application of the GloBE rules, and will continue to evaluate the potential impact to our financial position. In addition, in January 2025, the United States issued an executive order announcing opposition to aspects of these rules. Accordingly, we are still evaluating the potential consequences of Pillar Two on our longer-term financial position.

In connection with the IPO, in February 2021, we entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain of our pre-IPO owners that provides for the payment by the Company to such pre-IPO owners of 85% of the benefits that the Company realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of the Company’s allocable share of existing tax basis acquired in our IPO and other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement. The payments under the tax receivable agreement are not conditioned upon continued ownership of the Company by the pre-IPO owners. The payments that we may be required to make under the tax receivable agreement to the pre-IPO owners may be significant and are not reflected in the contractual obligations table set forth above as they are dependent upon future taxable income. Assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law, and that we earn sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the tax receivable agreement, we expect future payments under the tax receivable agreement related to the Offering Transactions and subsequent activity through March 31, 2025 to aggregate to $685.5 million and to range over the next 15 years from approximately $4.1 million to $69.3 million per year and decline thereafter. In determining these estimated future payments, we have given retrospective effect to certain exchanges of Common Units for Class A shares that occurred after the IPO but were contemplated to have occurred pursuant to the Blocker Restructuring. The foregoing numbers are merely estimates, and the actual payments could differ materially. For additional information, see Note 4, Payable to Related Parties Pursuant to a Tax Receivable Agreement, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1 - Financial Statements (Unaudited).”
