“Match Group delivered Q2 results that were slightly ahead of our expectations for both Total Revenue and Adjusted Operating Income, despite incremental FX headwinds and Canada's abrupt enactment of a retroactive Digital Services Tax,” said Bernard Kim, Match Group’s CEO.

“We're pleased that Tinder's initiatives have led to stabilization in year-over-year ("Y/Y") monthly active user ("MAU") trends and improving Y/Y Payer trends. We expect further improvement in Tinder's Y/Y MAU and Payer trends in Q3, as wellas strong sequential Payer net additions,” Kim added.
