Exhibit 99.1 Match Group Announces Third Quarter Results Match Group Delivers on Revenue and Accelerates Innovation Focused on User Outcomes LOS ANGELES, November 4, 2025 - Match Group (NASDAQ: MTCH) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, as well as meaningful advances in its product-led transformation. The company delivered on its revenue expectations and exceeded its Adjusted EBITDA expectations, excluding a $61 million legal settlement charge. “We’ve moved quickly to accelerate innovation, strengthen accountability, and build for long-term growth,” said CEO Spencer Rascoff. “Our strategy is showing real progress this quarter, as we achieved our revenue goals and made meaningful progress on our product roadmap.” Rascoff continued, “This quarter we increased product velocity, strengthened trust and safety, and operated with sharper discipline across the business. Our focus on execution, accountability, and efficiency is driving stronger performance while setting the foundation for long-term growth. I firmly believe that by combining innovation, operational rigor, and user empathy, we can shape the future of connection and strengthen our leadership in the category.” In Q3, Match Group executed against its $50 million reinvestment plan across its portfolio to test user-first features, strengthen marketing, and expand its international footprint. Early results are instilling confidence in our strategy and learnings from these investments will inform how we deploy capital in 2026 and lay the foundation for the “Resurgence” phase of the turnaround that Match Group expects to take hold in 2026 and 2027. Match Group also resolved Candelore v. Tinder, Inc., a decade-old case challenging Tinder’s former age-based pricing practices. The settlement closes a long-running matter and allows the company to move forward with focus and confidence. 1

Match Group Q3 2025 Financial Highlights • Total Revenue of $914 million was up 2% year-over-year (“Y/Y”), up 1% on a foreign exchange (“FX”) neutral basis (“FXN”), driven by a 7% Y/Y increase in RPP to $20.58, partially offset by a 5% Y/Y decline in Payers to 14.5 million. • Net Income of $161 million increased 18% Y/Y, representing a Net Income Margin of 18%. • Adjusted EBITDA of $301 million declined 12% Y/Y, representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 33%. • Excluding a $61 million legal settlement charge and $2 million of restructuring costs, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $364 million, up 6% Y/Y, representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 40%. • Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow were $758 million and $716 million, respectively, year-to-date through September 30, 2025. • Repurchased 17.4 million of our shares at an average price of $32 per share on a trade date basis for a total of $550 million and paid $141 million in dividends, deploying 97% of our free cash flow for capital return to shareholders year-to-date through September 30, 2025. • Diluted shares outstanding were 245 million as of October 31, 2025, a decrease of 8%, since November 1, 2024. The following table summarizes total company consolidated financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Three Months Ended September 30, (Dollars in millions, except RPP, Payers in thousands) 2025 2024 Y/Y Change Total Revenue $ 914 $ 895 2 % Direct Revenue $ 897 $ 879 2 % Net income attributable to Match Group, Inc. shareholders $ 161 $ 136 18 % Net Income Margin 18 % 15 % Adjusted EBITDA $ 301 $ 343 (12)% Adjusted EBITDA Margin 33 % 38 % Payers 14,527 15,214 (5)% RPP $ 20.58 $ 19.26 7 % We have updated the title of our primary non-GAAP measure to “Adjusted EBITDA” from our previous title “Adjusted Operating Income.” We believe this updated title better aligns with our peers. Numerically, Adjusted EBITDA is the same as Adjusted Operating Income; however, the starting point of the reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure has changed from operating income to net income. See below for the full definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income attributable to Match Group, Inc. shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA.

Other Quarterly Highlights: • Tinder’s AI-driven Interactive Matching feature, Chemistry, continues to evolve how people connect by creating a more intentional and personalized discovery experience. Using deep learning and user-permissioned data (like camera roll insights), Chemistry surfaces a few highly compatible profiles each day, leading to more relevant matches and engaging conversations. Chemistry is currently live in New Zealand and Australia, with plans to expand to additional countries in the coming months. • Face Check, Tinder’s new facial verification feature, is setting a new standard for authenticity in dating. It helps confirm users are real and match their profile photos. The feature is now mandatory for all new users in California and will roll out to additional U.S. states and countries in the coming months, following successful launches in Canada, India, Australia, and Colombia. Early results show an over 60% decrease in exposure to potential bad actors, a 40% reduction in bad actor reports, and meaningful improvements in users’ reported trust and authenticity. • Hinge continues to build strong momentum, with sustained growth and continued progress across its international markets. The app launched in Mexico in September and is expanding to Brazil in Q4, extending its reach in key international markets. Hinge also continues to advance its AI-powered features, including Conversation Starters and its Recommendation System, to improve connection quality and drive more meaningful engagement globally. • Match Group’s continued rollout of alternative payments across its portfolio is increasing flexibility for users and lowering processing fees. These efforts are expected to generate approximately $14 million in savings in Q4 2025 and roughly $90 million in savings in 2026. Combined with earlier cost-reduction initiatives that produced $100 million in annualized savings, these improvements are enabling reinvestment in growth, including $50 million dedicated to testing new user-first features, strengthening marketing, and expanding internationally. A webcast of our third quarter 2025 results will be available at https://ir.mtch.com, along with our Prepared Remarks and Supplemental Financial Materials. The webcast will begin today, November 4, 2025, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. This press release, including the reconciliations of certain non-GAAP measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures, is also available on that site.

Match Group’s trailing twelve-month leverage as of September 30, 2025 was 3.4x on a gross basis and 2.5x on a net basis. On August 20, 2025, we completed a private offering of $700 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2033. The proceeds from the issuance of these notes will be used to repay all of the outstanding 0.875% exchangeable senior notes due 2026 at or prior to their maturity and the remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. On September 8, 2025, we repurchased $76 million aggregate principal amount of 0.875% exchangeable senior notes due 2026. On October 17, 2025, we paid a dividend of $0.19 per share to holders of record on October 3, 2025. The total cash payout was $45 million.

Dilutive Securities Match Group has various tranches of dilutive securities. The table below details these securities and their potentially dilutive impact (shares in millions; rounding differences may occur). Average Exercise Price 10/31/2025 Share Price $32.34 Absolute Shares 236.1 Equity Awards Options $16.69 0.2 RSUs and subsidiary denominated equity awards 8.6 Total Dilution - Equity Awards 8.8 Outstanding Warrants Warrants expiring on September 15, 2026 (5.8 million outstanding) $131.67 — Warrants expiring on April 15, 2030 (7.0 million outstanding) $131.73 — Total Dilution - Outstanding Warrants — Total Dilution 8.8 % Dilution 3.6% Total Diluted Shares Outstanding 244.8 ______________________ The dilutive securities presentation above is calculated using the methods and assumptions described below; these are different from GAAP dilution, which is calculated based on the treasury stock method. Options — The table above assumes the options are settled net of the option exercise price and employee withholding taxes, as is our practice, and the dilutive effect is presented as the net shares that would be issued upon exercise. Withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon exercise is estimated to be $5.6 million, assuming the stock price in the table above and a 50% estimated employee withholding tax rate. RSUs and subsidiary denominated equity awards — The table above assumes RSUs are settled net of employee withholding taxes, as is our practice, and the dilutive effect is presented as the net number of shares that would be issued upon vesting. Withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon vesting is estimated to be $277.6 million, assuming the stock price in the table above and a 50% withholding rate. All performance-based and market-based awards reflect the expected shares that will vest based on current performance or market estimates. The table assumes no change in the fair value estimate of the subsidiary denominated equity awards from the values used for GAAP purposes at September 30, 2025. Exchangeable Senior Notes — The Company has two series of Exchangeable Senior Notes outstanding. In the event of an exchange, each series of Exchangeable Senior Notes can be settled in cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares. At the time of each Exchangeable Senior Notes issuance, the Company purchased call options with a strike price equal to the exchange price of each series of Exchangeable Senior Notes (“Note Hedge”), which can be used to offset the dilution of each series of the Exchangeable Senior Notes. No dilution is reflected in the table above for any of the Exchangeable Senior Notes because it is the Company’s intention to settle the Exchangeable Senior Notes with cash equal to the face amount of the notes; any shares issued would be offset by shares received upon exercise of the Note Hedge. Warrants — At the time of the issuance of each series of Exchangeable Senior Notes, the Company also sold warrants for the number of shares with the strike prices reflected in the table above. The cash generated from the exercise of the warrants is assumed to be used to repurchase Match Group shares and the resulting net dilution, if any, is reflected in the table above. 10

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Match Group reports Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, and Revenue Excluding Foreign Exchange Effects, all of which are supplemental measures to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Free Cash Flow measures are among the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our business, on which our internal budget is based and by which management is compensated. Revenue Excluding Foreign Exchange Effects provides a comparable framework for assessing the performance of our business without the effect of exchange rate differences when compared to prior periods. We believe that investors should have access to the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Match Group endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measures presented by providing the comparable GAAP measures and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measures. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures, which we describe below. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Match Group, Inc. shareholders excluding: (1) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; (2) income tax provision or benefit; (3) other income (expense), net; (4) interest expense; (5) depreciation; (6) acquisition-related items consisting of amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable; and (7) stock-based compensation expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes certain expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues. We believe Adjusted EBITDA Margin is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA Margin has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to our consolidated statement of operations of certain expenses. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it represents the cash that our operating businesses generate, before taking into account non-operational cash movements. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with our consolidated statement of cash flows. We look at Free Cash Flow as a measure of the strength and performance of our businesses, not for valuation purposes. In our view, applying “multiples” to Free Cash Flow is inappropriate because it is subject to timing, seasonality and one-time events. We manage our business for cash, and we think it is of utmost importance to maximize cash – but our primary valuation metric is Adjusted EBITDA. Revenue Excluding Foreign Exchange Effects is calculated by translating current period revenues using prior period exchange rates. The percentage change in Revenue Excluding Foreign Exchange Effects is calculated by determining the change in current period revenues over prior period revenues where current period revenues are translated using prior period exchange rates. We believe the impact of foreign exchange rates on Match Group, due to its global reach, may be an important factor in understanding period over period comparisons if movement in rates is significant. Since our results are reported in U.S. dollars, international revenues are favorably impacted as the U.S. dollar weakens relative to other currencies, and unfavorably impacted as the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to other currencies. We believe the presentation of revenue excluding foreign exchange effects in addition to reported revenue helps improve the ability to understand Match Group’s performance because it excludes the impact of foreign currency volatility that is not indicative of Match Group’s core operating results. 11

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Our Non-GAAP Measures Stock-based compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants of RSUs, performance-based RSUs, and market-based awards. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding using the treasury stock method; however, performance-based RSUs and market-based awards are included only to the extent the applicable performance or market condition(s) have been met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period). To the extent stock-based awards are settled on a net basis, we remit the required tax-withholding amounts from our current funds. Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our property and equipment and is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter. Amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets are non-cash expenses related primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as customer lists, trade names and technology, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. Value is also assigned to (i) acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of trade names and trademarks, and (ii) goodwill, which are not subject to amortization. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. We believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.

Payers are unique users at a brand level in a given month from whom we earned Direct Revenue. When presented as a quarter-to-date or year-to-date value, Payers represents the average of the monthly values for the respective period presented. At a consolidated level and a business unit level to the extent a business unit consists of multiple brands, duplicate Payers may exist when we earn revenue from the same individual at multiple brands in a given month, as we are unable to identify unique individuals across brands in the Match Group portfolio. Revenue Per Payer (“RPP”) is the average monthly revenue earned from a Payer and is Direct Revenue for a period divided by the Payers in the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. Monthly Active User (“MAU”) is a unique registered user at a brand level who has visited the brand’s app or, if applicable, their website in the given month. For measurement periods that span multiple months, the average of each month is used. At a consolidated level and a business unit level to the extent a business unit consists of multiple brands, duplicate users will exist within MAU when the same individual visits multiple brands in a given month. Leverage on a gross basis is calculated as principal debt balance divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the period referenced. Leverage on a net basis is calculated as principal debt balance less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the period referenced. ® ® ® ® ® ® ® TM ® ® ® TM ® TM ® ® 12
