Match Group Highlights 2025 Results and Raises Dividend

The latest announcement is out from Match Group ( (MTCH) ).

On February 3, 2026, Match Group reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results that underscored a product-led transformation focused on user outcomes, particularly at flagship apps Tinder and Hinge. For 2025, revenue was flat at $3.5 billion but profitability improved, with net income up 11% to $613 million and an 18% margin, while adjusted EBITDA slipped 1% to $1.2 billion, or 35% margin, in part due to legal and restructuring costs. In the fourth quarter, revenue rose 2% year-on-year to $878 million and net income jumped 32% to $210 million as adjusted EBITDA grew 14% and margins reached 42%, driven by higher revenue per payer offsetting a 5% decline in payers. Operationally, Tinder showed better engagement and safety metrics—with Sparks Coverage up 4% in December and the Face Check verification tool cutting interactions with bad actors by more than half—while Hinge delivered 26% direct revenue growth in Q4, nearly 50% MAU growth in European expansion markets during 2025, and strong traction in new markets such as Mexico and Brazil. Match Group also returned substantial capital to shareholders in 2025, using 108% of free cash flow on share repurchases, dividends and equity award settlements, and its board declared a 5% higher cash dividend of $0.20 per share payable on April 21, 2026 to shareholders of record on April 7, 2026, signaling confidence in its multi-brand strategy and roadmap for 2026 despite a flat top line and declining payer base.
