    Information about Bumble's use of non-GAAP financial measures is provided below under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

    "The Bumble team executed with discipline in the first quarter and reached the high end of our financial outlook," said Ron Fior, Interim CFO of Bumble Inc. "We believe Bumble is a strong business with solid cash flow and a healthy balance sheet. We will continue to prioritize efficiency, with short-term margin benefits expected as we optimize our marketing spend during this phase of our member base and product improvement initiatives. We remain focused on optimizing profitability as we work to reignite sustainable growth and value creation."

    Key Operating Metrics:

    The following metrics were calculated excluding paying users and revenue generated from Official, advertising and partnerships or affiliates. As of March 31, 2025, Geneva had not generated any revenue, and therefore, is excluded from our key operating metrics. Please refer to the Definitions section for more information.

    Balance Sheet:

    As of March 31, 2025, total cash and cash equivalents were $202.2 million and total debt was $616.1 million.

    Financial results will not be final until Bumble files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period. Amounts included in our balance sheet for the "additional paid-in capital" and "accumulated other comprehensive income" are subject to change and the final amounts will be disclosed within our to be filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    Share Repurchase Program:

    During the first quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased $28.7 million of shares of Class A common stock under our previously announced $450.0 million share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2025, a total of $50.1 million remained available for repurchase under the program.

    Financial Outlook:

    A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net earnings (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA margin growth to GAAP net earnings (loss) margin growth which is growth in GAAP net earnings (loss) as a percentage of revenue has not been provided for the outlook included herein as the quantification of certain items included in the calculation of GAAP net earnings (loss) cannot be calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. For example, the non-GAAP adjustment for stock-based compensation expense requires additional inputs such as number of shares granted and market price that are not currently ascertainable, and the non-GAAP adjustment for certain legal, tax and regulatory reserves and expenses depends on the timing and magnitude of these expenses and cannot be accurately forecasted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on its future GAAP financial results.

    Bumble anticipates the following for the second quarter ending June 30, 2025:

    Second Quarter 2025:

    • Total Revenue in the range of $235 million to $243 million, which includes:
      • Bumble App Revenue of $193 million to $199 million.
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $79 million to $84 million.

    Actual results may differ materially from Bumble's financial outlook as a result of, among other things, the factors described under "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

    Conference Call and Webcast Information

    Bumble will host a live webcast of its conference call to discuss its first quarter 2025 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, May 7, 2025. A webcast of the call and other information related to the call will be accessible on the Investors section of the Company's website at https://ir.bumble.com. A webcast replay will be available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the live event.

    Definitions

    As used in this press release, unless otherwise noted or the context requires otherwise, the following terms have the following meanings. Our key metrics (Bumble App Paying Users, Badoo App and Other Paying Users, Total Paying Users, Bumble App Average Revenue per Paying User, Badoo App and Other Average Revenue per Paying User, and Total Average Revenue per Paying User) were calculated excluding paying users and revenue generated from Official, advertising and partnerships or affiliates. As of March 31, 2025, Geneva had not generated any revenue, and therefore, is excluded from our key operating metrics.

    Total Revenue is the sum of Bumble App Revenue and Badoo App and Other Revenue.

    Total Paying Users is the sum of Bumble App Paying Users and Badoo App and Other Paying Users.

    Total Average Revenue per Paying User or Total ARPPU is a metric calculated based on Total Revenue in any measurement period divided by the Total Paying Users in such period divided by the number of months in the period.

    Bumble App Revenue is revenue derived from purchases or renewals of a Bumble app or Bumble For Friends app subscription plan and/or in-app purchases on Bumble app or Bumble For Friends app in the relevant period.

    Bumble App Paying User is a member that has purchased or renewed a Bumble app or Bumble For Friends app subscription plan and/or made an in-app purchase on Bumble app or Bumble For Friends app in a given month. We calculate Bumble App Paying Users as a monthly average, by counting the number of Bumble App Paying Users in each month and then dividing by the number of months in the relevant measurement period.

    Bumble App Average Revenue per Paying User or Bumble App ARPPU is a metric calculated based on Bumble App Revenue in any measurement period, divided by Bumble App Paying Users in such period divided by the number of months in the period.

    Badoo App and Other Revenue is revenue derived from purchases or renewals of a Badoo app subscription plan and/or in-app purchases on Badoo app in the relevant period, purchases on one of our other apps that we owned and operated in the relevant period, purchases on other third party apps that used our technology in the relevant period and advertising, partnerships or affiliates revenue in the relevant period.

    Badoo App and Other Paying User is a member that has purchased or renewed a subscription plan and/or made an in-app purchase on Badoo app in a given month or made a purchase on one of our other apps that we owned and operated in a given month, or made a purchase on other third-party apps that used our technology in the relevant period. We calculate Badoo App and Other Paying Users as a monthly average, by counting the number of Badoo App and Other Paying Users in each month and then dividing by the number of months in the relevant measurement period.

    Badoo App and Other Average Revenue per Paying User or Badoo App and Other ARPPU is a metric calculated based on Badoo App and Other Revenue in any measurement period divided by Badoo App and Other Paying Users in such period divided by the number of months in the period.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP, however, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides visibility to the underlying continuing operating performance by excluding the impact of certain expenses, including income tax (benefit) provision, interest and derivative (gains) losses, net, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expenses, employer costs related to stock-based compensation, foreign exchange (gain) loss, changes in fair value of contingent earn-out liability, investments in equity securities, transaction and other costs, litigation costs net of insurance reimbursements that arise outside of the ordinary course of business, tax receivable agreement liability remeasurement (benefit) expense, impairment loss, and costs associated with restructuring, as management does not believe these expenses are representative of our core earnings. We also provide Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. In addition to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, we believe free cash flow and free cash flow conversion provide useful information regarding how cash provided by (used in) operating activities compares to the capital expenditures required to maintain and grow our business, and our available liquidity, after funding such capital expenditures, to service our debt, fund strategic initiatives, effectuate discretionary share repurchases and strengthen our balance sheet, as well as our ability to convert our earnings to cash. Additionally, we believe such metrics are widely used by investors, securities analysts, ratings agencies and other parties in evaluating liquidity and debt-service capabilities. We calculate free cash flow and free cash flow conversion using methodologies that we believe can provide useful supplemental information to help investors better understand underlying trends in our business.

    Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, we do not consider our non-GAAP financial measures as superior to, or a substitute for, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

    Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as net earnings (loss) excluding income tax (benefit) provision, interest and derivative (gains) losses, net, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, employer costs related to stock-based compensation, foreign exchange (gain) loss, changes in fair value of contingent earn-out liability, investments in equity securities, transaction and other costs, litigation costs net of insurance reimbursements that arise outside of the ordinary course of business, tax receivable agreement liability remeasurement (benefit) expense, impairment loss, and restructuring costs.

    Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

    Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.

    Free cash flow conversion represents free cash flow as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA.

    Operating cash flow conversion represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as a percentage of net earnings (loss).

    Forward-Looking Statements

    This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements reflecting the current views of management of Bumble Inc. with respect to, among other things, our operations, our financial performance, our industry and our business and other non-historical statements, including without limitation statements related to our strategic plans and initiatives (including our marketing approach, product releases and revenue strategy) and the statements in the "Financial Outlook" section of this press release. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "outlook," "believe(s)," "expect(s)," "potential," "continue(s)," "may," "will," "should," "could," "would," "seek(s)," "predict(s)," "intend(s)," "trends," "plan(s)," "estimate(s)," "anticipate(s)," "projection," "will likely result" and or the negative version of these words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

    • our ability to retain existing members or attract new members and to convert members to paying users (including as a result of shifts in strategy)
    • competition and changes in the competitive landscape of our market
    • our ability to distribute our dating products through third parties, such as Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and offset related fees
    • our ability to attract, hire and retain a highly qualified and diverse workforce, or maintain our corporate culture, including as such factors may be impacted by our global workforce reduction in 2024 (and any potential future reductions in workforce) and efforts to restructure our operations
    • our ability to maintain the value and reputation of our brands
    • risks relating to changes to our existing brands and products, or the introduction or acquisition of new brands or products
    • risks relating to certain of our international operations, including geopolitical conditions and successful expansion into new markets
    • the impact of data security breaches or cyber attacks on our systems and the costs of remediation related to any such incidents
    • challenges with properly managing the use of artificial intelligence
    • our ability to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce intellectual property rights and successfully defend against claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of third-party intellectual property
    • our ability to comply with complex and evolving U.S. and international laws and regulations relating to our business, including data privacy laws
    • our substantial indebtedness
    • affiliates of Blackstone Inc.'s ("Blackstone") and our Founder's control of us
    • the outsized voting rights of Blackstone and our Founder
    • the risk that we may experience impairments to our goodwill and intangible assets as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control
    • risks relating to the market price volatility of our Class A common stock, which could limit our ability to make acquisitions and retain key personnel and employees, and result in dilution if our stock-based compensation programs issue increased numbers of shares because of a depressed stock price or could result in increased cash compensation expense in the event that we shift the mix of incentive compensation in favor of cash-based awards over equity-based awards
    • changes in business or macroeconomic conditions, including the impact of lower consumer confidence in our business or in the online dating industry generally, recessionary conditions, increased unemployment rates, stagnant or declining wages, changes in inflation or interest rates, geopolitical events (such as trade wars), political unrest, armed conflicts, including conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, widespread health emergencies or pandemics and measures taken in response, extreme weather events or natural disasters
    • foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations

    For additional information on these and other factors that could cause Bumble's actual results to differ materially from expected results, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 28, 2025, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our subsequent periodic filings, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date of this press release, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
