What's Next: Rascoff said there has been "meaningful product progress at Tinder" along with momentum at Hinge, which are helping the company position for long-term success.
"As we look ahead to our resurgence phase in 2026 and 2027, we are focused on delivering app experiences that feel modern, human and built for today's users," Rascoff said. "We are also working to spark a resurgence of trust, relevance, and confidence among both our users and investors."
The company plans on reinvesting savings of $50 million in the second half into strategic initiatives across the company's portfolio. This includes product testing at Tinder and geographic expansion for some other apps like Hinge. Match also said a new dating concept would get some of the investment.
The company is guiding for third quarter revenue of $910 million to $920 million, up 2% to 3% year-over-year. The revenue guidance is higher than a Street estimate of $889.21 million, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
