Current report

During 2025, we continue to see high interest rates, inflationary pressures and low existing home sales negatively impacting our mortgage lending partners. In our Home segment, mortgage rates remained relatively consistent in 2025, with the annual average mortgage rate in 2025 of 6.6% compared to 6.7% in 2024, but remain significantly increased compared to the low rates seen in 2021. A shortage of in-the-money refinance borrowers persists given the current higher level of mortgage rates, and historically low existing home sales are suppressing consumer demand for purchase loans. Our Consumer segment has benefited from the recent Federal Reserve rate decreases, and our lenders are generally broadening in credit appetite. In our

Current report

On July 15, 2025, we repaid the $95.3 million outstanding principal amount of our 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes ("2025 Notes") upon maturity in cash plus $0.2 million of accrued interest. Upon this repayment, the 2025 Notes were extinguished and repaid in full, and we have no further obligations with respect to the 2025 Notes.

Current report

On August 21, 2025, we entered into a $475.0 million first lien term loan facility (the "2025 Facility") consisting of a $75 million revolving credit facility (the "2025 Revolving Facility") and a $400.0 million term loan facility (the "2025 Term Loan"), both with maturities of August 21, 2030. Proceeds from the 2025 Facility were used to refinance the Credit Agreement (as defined herein) and 2024 Term Loan (as defined herein) and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Current report

Revenue increased in 2025 compared to 2024 due to increases in our Insurance, Consumer and Home segments.

Current report

General and administrative expense increased in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits of $9.0 million.

Current report

In 2025 and 2024, we incurred $15.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of expenses for litigation contingencies due to the Mantha litigation. See Note 15— Contingencies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on litigation matters.

Current report

In March 2024 and March 2025, we drew $125.0 million and $50 million, respectively, on the 2024 Term Loan (as defined herein). The incremental borrowing in 2024 and 2025 resulted in an increase of $2.5 million of interest expense in 2025 compared to 2024.

Current report

In the third quarter of 2025, we refinanced our Credit Agreement (as defined herein) and 2024 Term Loan, which collectively had $402.8 million outstanding, with proceeds from the $400.0 million 2025 Term Loan (as defined herein) and cash on hand at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the refinancing, we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of $7.9 million due to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount costs which are included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

Current report

In the first quarter of 2025, we repurchased approximately $20.0 million in principal amount of our 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due July 15, 2025 (the "2025 Notes") for $19.7 million plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the repurchase, we recognized a gain on the extinguishment of $0.3 million, which is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

Current report

Revenue from our personal loan product of $114.4 million increased 13% in 2025 compared to 2024. We saw a broadening in the credit appetite from our lender partners that led to a meaningful increase in close rates for our consumers.

Current report

Small business revenue increased 60% in 2025 compared to 2024. This increase in revenue was driven by the deliberate investment in our concierge sales team, which provides a high-touch service option for business owners working through the complex loan shopping process. We continue to invest in growing this team to power further small business growth in 2026.

Current report

Insurance revenue of $711.9 million in 2025 increased 30% from 2024, while segment profit of $174.4 million in 2025 increased 10% from 2024. Insurance carriers are broadly enjoying very strong automotive underwriting results following multiple quarters of premium increases and stable loss cost trends, and are aggressively pursing new customers.

Current report

Our Insurance segment margin decreased to 25% in 2025 compared to 29% in 2024. The increased demand has created a competitive market to acquire customers seeking an auto policy, which has led to strong growth in both revenue as well as associated media costs. Our strategy is to capture the maximum level of carrier advertising budgets when we have an opportunity to drive incremental segment profit and take share from competitors. These incremental dollars have pressured overall segment margin while simultaneously contributing to robust segment profit.

Current report

In the first quarter of 2025, we repurchased approximately $20.0 million in principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $19.7 million resulting in a gain on the extinguishment of $0.3 million which is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. On July 15, 2025, the remaining $95.3 million outstanding 2025 Notes were fully repaid using cash on hand.

As a result of the refinancing, we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of $7.9 million due to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount costs which are included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

Our Spring platform offers a personalized comparison-shopping experience, financial health advice and credit simulations by providing free credit scores and credit score analysis. This authenticated, and secure platform enables us to monitor consumers' credit profiles, identify and alert them to changes in their financial health, and to recommend loans and other offerings on our marketplace that may be more favorable than the terms they may have at a given point in time. Customers can track the progress of their financial health over time based on actions they have taken, see recommended credit score improvement actions, and loans or other products offered by LendingTree.

Previous report

We consider certain metrics related to Spring set forth below to help us evaluate our business and growth trends and assess operational efficiencies. We believe our Spring platform drives repeat user engagement resulting in lower acquisition costs and increases consumer lifetime value. The calculation of the metrics discussed below may differ from other similarly titled metrics used by other companies, securities analysts or investors.

Previous report

We continued to grow our user base and added 3.1 million new users in 2024, bringing cumulative active users to 31.3 million as of December 31, 2024. We calculate the number of Spring users at a period end as the number of users that had an active account at any point during the quarter that includes the period end date. Users that deactivated their accounts prior to the most recent quarter are no longer considered in the user base at the end of the most recent quarter. We attribute approximately $23.1 million of revenue, or 3% of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2024 to registered Spring users who initiated their transaction from the Spring platform. During 2024, approximately 0.9 million Spring users initiated a transaction from the Spring platform that contributed to revenue.

Previous report

Revenue from our mortgage products decreased $17.3 million, or 29%, to $41.4 million in 2024 from $58.7 million in 2023. The decrease in revenue was due to a 25% decline in volume, representing $13.6 million of the decrease, and a 6% decrease in revenue earned per consumer, representing $3.7 million of the decrease. We measure volume for our mortgage products as the number of consumers completing request forms.

Previous report

Revenue from our purchase mortgage product decreased $11.0 million in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to decreases in the number of consumers completing request forms and a decrease in revenue earned per consumer. Revenue from our refinance mortgage product decreased $6.3 million in 2024 compared to 2023, primarilydue to a decrease in the number of consumers completing request forms and a decrease in revenue earned per consumer, as interest rates were generally flat compared to 2023.

Previous report

Cost of revenue decreased in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to a decrease in compensation and benefits of $2.7 million. The decrease is primarily due to the Reduction Plan at the end of the first quarter of 2023, including shutting down the LendingTree customer call center, and the closure of our Ovation credit services business at the end of the second quarter of 2023.

Previous report

General and administrative expense decreased in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to a decrease in compensation and benefits of $3.7 million, a decrease in loss on assets of $2.9 million, a decrease in facilities expense of $2.5 million and a decrease in bad debt expense of $1.6 million.

Product development expense consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) and third-party labor costs that are not capitalized, for employees and consultants engaged in the design, development, testing, and enhancement of technology.

Previous report

Product development expense decreased in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to the Reduction Plan at the end of the first quarter of 2023.

Previous report

The decrease in amortization of intangibles in 2024 compared to 2023 was due to certain intangible assets associated with our recent business acquisitions becoming fully amortized.

Previous report

We incurred a goodwill impairment charge of $38.6 million in 2023 in our Insurance reporting unit. See Note 7 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information.

Previous report

In April 2023, we made the decision to close the Ovation credit services business ( the "Ovation Closure"). The Ovation Closure included the elimination of approximately 197 employees, or 18%, of the Company's workforce. As a result of the Ovation Closure, we incurred $2.1 million in restructuring expense in connection with cash expenditures for employee separation costs. The cash payments for the Ovation Closure were completed in the first quarter of 2024.

Previous report

On March 24, 2023, we committed to the Reduction Plan to reduce operating costs. The Reduction Plan included the elimination of approximately 162 employees, or 13%, of the Company’s workforce.

Previous report

Revenue from our personal loan product of $101.4 million increased 1% in 2024 compared to 2023 as lending standards remained restrictive at our lender partners during the year. The leading reason for consumers to seek personal loans is to re-finance higher-cost credit card debt. Total revolving consumer debt remains near record levels and interest rates on that debt have increased as short-term rates have increased. We believe the outlook is positive for our personal loan product in 2025.

Previous report

Small business revenue increased 8% in 2024 compared to 2023. Lenders in our network have increased new loan originations as their credit performance has improved, particularly in the second half of 2024. In response, we have invested in our concierge sales team and targeted marketing campaigns. Our concierge sales members provide single-point-of-contact for small business owners, assisting in selecting the best loan offer, collecting required documentation and troubleshooting issues during the application process. Our investment in this team has helped drive a material increase in approval rates for our customers, and allows us to capture lender volume bonuses and renewal revenue streams.

Previous report

Insurance revenue of $548.7 million in 2024 increased 120% from 2023, while segment profit of $159.2 million in 2024 increased 54% from 2023. Carriers increased their marketing spend with us steadily throughout the year as two years of compounded premium rate increases combined with declines in the price of used vehicles and replacement parts has created a favorable underwriting environment resulting in higher demand for new auto insurance customers. Additionally, the volume of consumers completing request forms on our platform increased 35% in 2024 compared to 2023.

Previous report

Our Insurance segment margin decreased to 29% in 2024 compared to 41% in 2023. In 2023, we were able to exit from our highest cost marketing channels and continue to meet the decreased level of demand. In 2024, we re-entered those marketing channels to fill the increase in carrier demand, which has resulted in lower segment profit margin.

Previous report

On March 8, 2023, we repurchased approximately $190.6 million in principal amount of our 2025 Notes, through separate transactions with certain holders of the 2025 Notes, for $156.3 million plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $0.1 million.

Previous report

As of December 31, 2024, we have $115.3 million outstanding on the 2025 Notes. We intend to use cash on hand, available borrowings of $50.0 million from the 2024 Term Loan (as defined below), and future cash flows from operations for the repayment of the 2025 Notes.

Previous report

We filed an ATM Shelf Registration (as defined in the 2024 Term Loan agreement) with the SEC in the third quarter of 2024. In the event of a default in the minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2024 Term Loan agreement) covenant in the 2024 Term Loan, we are required to utilize the ATM Equity Program (as defined in the 2024 Term Loan agreement) to sell common stock and use the proceeds to cure the event of default in the minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant. Additionally, we may use the ATM Equity Program to maintain the $40.0 million minimum cash balance requirement in the 2024 Term Loan.

Previous report

Cash from changes in working capital decreased primarily as a result of unfavorable changes in accounts receivable, partially offset by favorable changes accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Previous report

The indefinite carryforward period for certain deferred tax assets means that indefinite-lived deferred tax liabilities can be considered as support for realization of such deferred tax assets including post December 31, 2017 net operating loss carryovers, which can affect the need to record or maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Previous report

At June 30, 2022, we assessed the qualitative factors in our impairment testing of goodwill and determined that the effects of the challenging interest rate environment, consumer price inflation, and the decline in our market capitalization required a quantitative impairment test be performed. The quantitative goodwill impairment test found that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, indicating no goodwill impairment. The property and casualty auto insurance industry experienced challenges in 2022 caused by inflation, supply chain challenges, and the rising severity and frequency of claims. Additionally, the significant increase in mortgage interest rates in 2022 had a negative impact on our Mortgage reporting unit.

During 2023, the challenging interest rate environment and inflationary pressures continued to present challenges for many of our mortgage, consumer and insurance partners. In our Home segment, mortgage rates hit multi-decade highs of nearly 8% in October, then proceeded to drop below 7% by December, ending the year at 6.6%. The continued high mortgage rates in 2023 and home affordability issues continued to cause declines in refinance volumes and purchase activity. Our Consumer segment was also negatively impacted by economic conditions, with successive Federal Reserve rate increases having their intended effect of tightening financial conditions. The availability of credit contracted and lenders were less inclined to make loans in an environment with high inflation and significantly increased cost of capital. In our Insurance segment, demand from our carrier partners remained volatile for much of the year as they continued to deal with persistent industry headwinds. In the last months of 2023, we began to see advertising budgets from our carrier partners increase.
