Match Group, Inc. · MTCH · FY2025 Q3 · Calendar Q4 2025
Match Group pairs Hinge momentum with a Tinder turnaround effort
The call supports a mixed thesis: Hinge growth, product improvements, and payment savings provide support, but Tinder weakness and execution, regulatory, and competition risks leave the broader growth case unproven.

What changed
Management highlighted stronger Hinge momentum, new Tinder and trust-and-safety features, and a higher 2026 alternative-payment savings opportunity, while Tinder weakness remained the central offset.
Guidance delta
Management maintained guidance; Q4 outlook called for 1–2% YoY revenue growth and 9% adjusted EBITDA growth.
Key takeaways
- Q3 revenue was roughly flat YoY, while adjusted EBITDA exceeded expectations excluding settlement and restructuring costs.
- Hinge revenue grew 27% and the company plans further expansion in Mexico and Brazil.
- Tinder product changes include Chemistry, Modes, and Face Check, while alternative payments are expected to support $90 million of 2026 savings.
Management priorities
- Improve Tinder user outcomes and re-engagement through Chemistry, Modes, and Face Check.
- Expand Hinge in Brazil and other international markets.
- Scale alternative payment options and use Project Aurora testing to inform 2026 profitability.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
