In April 2025, Grindr began testing Woodwork by Grindr, our first Gayborhood expansion initiative in the health and wellness space. Woodwork is a white-label erectile dysfunction (ED) medication subscription service powered by OpenLoop, our partner for clinical support. While the initial focus of Woodwork is our core user base, we also believe the brand has the potential to expand to a broader audience over time. The health and wellness services provided through Woodwork will be offered as a cash pay service. We are currently testing Woodwork in limited jurisdictions and plan to expand to more states during 2025.

Previous report

In connection with our testing of Woodwork, we and our third-party suppliers, compounders, and manufacturers for Woodwork may be subject to extensive regulation by the U.S. federal Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and federal, state, and local authorities. These authorities can enforce regulations related to the testing, production, compounding, control, safety, quality assurance, labeling, promotion, packaging, sterilization, storage, and distribution of FDA-approved prescription drugs and/or compound medications. The ED medication currently offered through Woodwork is a compounded drug product under Section 503 of the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”). Drugs compounded by outsourcing facilities in compliance with Section 503 are exempt from the new drug approval requirements of the FDCA and certain labeling requirements of the FDCA. As such, the FDA does not review or verify the safety or effectiveness of compounded products distributed or dispensed by outsourcing facilities, which includes the ED medication currently offered through Woodwork; rather Section 503 of the FDCA establishes standards for manufacturing processes and controls applicable to outsourcing facilities as a means to ensure drug quality. Section 503B outsourcing facilities are subject to FDA inspection on a risk-based schedule.

Previous report

In addition, Woodwork is subject to extensive federal and state healthcare laws and regulations applicable to the clinical support provided by OpenLoop. In certain jurisdictions, the corporate practice of medicine doctrine generally prohibits non-physicians from practicing medicine, employing physicians to provide clinical services, or otherwise exercising undue influence or control over medical decisions of physicians, among other things. Additionally, the practice of medicine and related health professions are subject to various federal, state, and local certification and licensing laws, regulations, approvals and standards, relating to, among other things, the qualifications of the provider, professional practice (including specific requirements when providing health care utilizing telehealth technologies and the provision of remote care), the continuity and adequacy of medical care, the maintenance of medical records, the supervision of personnel, and the prerequisites for prescribing medication and ordering of tests.

In July 2023, the Communications Workers of America AFL-CIO (“CWA”) filed an election petition with the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) seeking to hold a representation election for certain classifications of our employees. CWA subsequently filed several unfair labor practice charges against us with the NLRB, including a request for injunctive relief under Sec. 10(j) of the National Labor Relations Act. Regarding the election petition, the NLRB conducted a secret mail-ballot election and held partial vote counts in November and December 2023. As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report, the NLRB has not completed tallying all the votes from the election as there are numerous outstanding challenged ballots. In addition, on November 1, 2024, the local regional office of NLRB issued a complaint on the unfair labor practice charges, which is scheduled for a hearing in May 2025. This complaint is the first step in the administrative process and is not a finding of any wrongdoing, nor is it a decision or ruling of the NLRB.

We acquire new users through investments in generating brand awareness, as well as through word of mouth from existing users and others. We convert these users to Paying Users by offering premium features that maximize the probability of developing meaningful connections, improve the user experience, and provide more control over the experience. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our Average Paying Users were 1.2 million and 1.0 million, respectively, representing an increase of 15.5% period-over-period. We grow Paying Users by acquiring new users and converting new and existing users to purchasers of one of our subscription plans or our add-on offerings. As we scale and our community grows larger, we seek to facilitate more meaningful interactions as a result of the wider selection of potential connections. This in turn increases our product value and can increase conversion to one of our paid products. Our revenue growth depends on growth in Paying Users. While we believe we are in the early days of our opportunity, at some point we may face challenges increasing our Paying Users, including competition from alternative products and services and lower adoption of certain product features.

For six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, direct revenue was $167.1 million and $134.3 million, respectively. The increase in direct revenue of $32.8 million, or 24.4%, was driven by the period-over-period increases in both ARPPU of $1.59 and Average Paying Users of 164 thousand. Period-over-period growth for revenue was driven by enhanced paywall optimizations and merchandising strategies, which strengthened subscription adoption across our XTRA and Unlimited tiers, and fueled continued demand for our premium add-ons. Weekly Unlimited was introduced late in the first quarter of 2024 and there is a continued period-over-period growth of our weekly XTRA subscription. We continue to strengthen our subscription offerings as we enhanced our Recommendations features and made further merchandising and paywall optimizations. ARPPU increased by 7.3%, or $1.59, to $23.26 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $21.67 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our ARPPU increased as a result of improved product mix, with higher revenue generated by subscription products with higher average monthly-equivalent price, such as weekly Unlimited. We expect ARPPU to fluctuate in the near-term as we continue to test different subscription options across different price points and focus on generating more Paying Users. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Average Paying Users increased by 164 thousand, from 1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to 1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
