Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, current expectations or projections concerning, among other things, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the markets in which we operate. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as “anticipates,” “approximately,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goal,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words or phrases.\n\nThe forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect our current views about our business and future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. There are no guarantees that any transactions or events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements:\n\n•our ability to retain existing users and add new users;\n\n•market perception of our brand;\n\n•the impact of the legal environment and complexities with litigation and regulatory compliance related to such environment, including maintaining compliance with privacy, data protection, consumer protection and online safety laws and regulations, as well as laws that may apply to any new products or services we have introduced and may introduce in the future, including in the health and wellness sector;\n\n•our ability to address privacy concerns and protect systems and infrastructure from cyber-attacks and prevent unauthorized data access;\n\n•our ability to identify and consummate strategic transactions including strategic partnerships, acquisitions, or investments in complementary products, services, or technologies, including outside of our core product; and our ability to realize the intended benefit of such transactions;\n\n•our success in retaining or recruiting directors, officers, key employees, or other key personnel, and our success in managing any changes in such roles;\n\n•our ability to respond to general economic conditions;\n\n•competition in the dating and social networking products and services industry;\n\n•our ability to adapt to changes in technology and user preferences in a timely and cost-effective manner;\n\n•our ability to successfully develop and adopt artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) technologies and processes—including generative AI—in our daily operations, including by deploying generative AI and ML in our products and services;\n\n•our dependence on the integrity of third-party systems and infrastructure;\n\n•our ability to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by third parties;\n\n•whether the concentration of our stock ownership and voting power limits our stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters;\n\n•the impact of resales of significant volumes of our securities by any of our directors or significant stockholders, including pursuant to one or more margin calls on such stockholders’ loans, on the volatility of our stock price;\n\n•the timing, price, and quantity of repurchases of shares of our common stock under our repurchase program, and our ability to fund any such repurchases;\n\n•the effects of macroeconomic and geopolitical events on our business, such as health epidemics, pandemics, natural disasters, the impacts of changing tariff policies and trade tensions, and wars or other regional conflicts; and\n\n•the impact of anti-LGBTQ policies and actions by governments and non-state actors around the world, including to block or otherwise restrict access to our app in their countries.\n\nIn addition, statements that “Grindr believes” or “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subjects as of the date of any such statement. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date they are made, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.\n\n2\n\n[Table of Contents](#i6be3636a0e7f4242a1cd955e857de183_7)\n\nWhile forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Except to the extent required by applicable law, we are under no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or revise our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause our future results, performance, or transactions to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements).\n\nCERTAIN OPERATING AND FINANCIAL METRICS\n\nIn this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we refer to operating and financial metrics that our management team uses to evaluate our business. Our key operating measures include Average Paying Users and Average App-Based Revenue per Average Paying User (“ARPPU”). We define our key operating measures and how we calculate them in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Operating and Financial Metrics.” We also refer to non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, and free cash flow conversion. We describe how we calculate these non-GAAP financial measures and provide reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”\n\n3\n\n[Table of Contents](#i6be3636a0e7f4242a1cd955e857de183_7)\n\nPART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION"}
