Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents, the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the determination of revenue reserves; the carrying value of right-of-use assets; the useful lives and recoverability of definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the fair value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values; contingencies; unrecognized tax benefits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets, and other factors that the Company considers relevant.
Accounting for Investments and Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities, other than those of our consolidated subsidiaries, are accounted for at fair value or under the measurement alternative of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, with any changes to fair value recognized within other income (expense), net each reporting period. Under the measurement alternative, equity investments without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or a similar investment of the same issuer; value is generally determined based on a market approach as of the transaction date. A security will be considered identical or similar if it has identical or

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
similar rights to the equity securities held by the Company. The Company reviews its equity securities without readily determinable fair values for impairment each reporting period when there are qualitative factors or events that indicate possible impairment. Factors we consider in making this determination include negative changes in industry and market conditions, financial performance, business prospects, and other relevant events and factors. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company prepares quantitative assessments of the fair value of our investments in equity securities, which require judgment and the use of estimates. When our assessment indicates that the fair value of the investment is below the carrying value, the Company writes down the security to its fair value and records the corresponding charge within other income (expense), net.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services are transferred to our customers, and in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of advance payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company's performance. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract by contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of our performance obligation is one year or less. The current deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2021 was $262.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $249.7 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2021. The current deferred revenue balance at June 30, 2022 is $259.1 million. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no non-current portion of deferred revenue.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
As permitted under the practical expedient available under ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The update will generally result in an
12

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
entity recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities as if the acquirer had originated the contracts, which, for the most part, results in no change to the value of deferred revenue when measured in purchase accounting. The new standard is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on our operating results, financial position, or cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
NOTE 2—INCOME TAXES
At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects, is individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which it occurs. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of beginning-of-the-year deferred tax assets in future years or unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
The computation of the estimated annual effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or our tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in the income tax provision in the quarter in which the change occurs.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $8.0 million and a tax provision of $37.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rates in both three-month periods benefited from excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, offset by the tax impact of certain nondeductible stock-based awards. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $14.9 million and a tax provision of $19.6 million, respectively. The effective tax rates in both six-month periods benefited from excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards.
Match Group is routinely under audit by federal, state, local, and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include a review of the timing and amount of income and deductions, and the allocation of such income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has substantially completed its audit of the Company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2013 through 2017 and is currently auditing the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. The statute of limitations for the years 2013 to 2019 has been extended to December 31, 2023. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2013. Returns filed in various other jurisdictions are open to examination for tax years beginning with 2014. Although we believe that we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, the final tax outcome of these matters may vary significantly from our estimates.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, were $52.5 million and $51.8 million, respectively. If unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2022 are subsequently recognized, income tax expense would be reduced by $46.5 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest. The comparable amount as of December 31, 2021 was $46.0 million. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $1.0 million by June 30, 2023 due to settlements and expirations of statutes of limitations, all of which would reduce the income tax provision.
The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. Accruals of interest and penalties for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

were not material. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, noncurrent income taxes payable includes accrued interest and penalties of $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
NOTE 3—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Pursuant to the terms of the transaction agreement dated as of December 19, 2019 (as amended, the “Transaction Agreement”), on June 30, 2020, the companies formerly known as Match Group, Inc. (referred to as “Former Match Group”) and IAC/InterActiveCorp (referred to as “Former IAC”) completed the separation of the Company from IAC through a series of transactions that resulted in two, separate public companies—(1) Match Group, which consists of the businesses of Former Match Group and certain financing subsidiaries previously owned by Former IAC, and (2) IAC, formerly known as IAC Holdings, Inc., consisting of Former IAC’s businesses other than Match Group (the “Separation”). Accordingly, the businesses of Former IAC other than Match Group are presented as discontinued operations.
Earnings from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 consist of an income tax benefit of $0.5 million.
NOTE 4—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Equity securities without readily determinable fair values
At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values totaled $14.2 million, and is included in “Other non-current assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The cumulative downward adjustments (including impairments) to the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values through June 30, 2022 were $2.1 million. For both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no adjustments to the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values.
For all equity securities without readily determinable fair values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has elected the measurement alternative. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, under the measurement alternative election, the Company did not identify any fair value adjustments using observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
•Level 2: Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, and right-of-use assets, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. The Company’s financial assets, comprised of equity securities without readily determinable fair values, are adjusted to fair value when observable price changes are identified or an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $217.4 million, which is included within impairment and amortization of intangibles, on trade names and technology intangible assets associated with the Hyperconnect acquisition. The Company used avoided royalty discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuations for the various intangibles to determine the current fair value of these intangible assets at June 30, 2022. Our expectations of future revenues and cash flows of Hyperconnect have declined since the time of the acquisition, including impacts of unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes in certain of Hyperconnect’s key markets. Additionally, the discount rates used in the valuations have increased since the time of the Hyperconnect acquisition, further negatively impacting the fair value of these intangible assets.

Credit Facility and Term Loan
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Match Group Holdings II, LLC (“MG Holdings II”), is the borrower under a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for the Credit Facility and the Term Loan. The Credit Agreement provides for a benchmark replacement should the LIBOR rate not be available in the future. The rate used would be agreed to between the administrative agent and the Company and may be based upon a secured overnight financing rate at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Additional information about the benchmark replacement can be found in Amendment No. 6 to the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity of $750 million and matures on February 13, 2025. At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings, $0.4 million in outstanding letters of credit, and $749.6 million of availability under the Credit Facility. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds, which is based on MG Holdings II’s consolidated net leverage ratio, was 25 basis points as of June 30, 2022. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at MG Holdings II’s option, at a base rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin, based on MG Holdings II’s consolidated net leverage ratio. If MG Holdings II borrows under the Credit Facility, it will be required to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0.
At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan was $425 million. The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%, which was 3.19% and 1.91% at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Term Loan matures on February 13, 2027. Interest payments are due at

least quarterly through the term of the loan. The Term Loan provides for annual principal payments as part of an excess cash flow sweep provision, the amount of which, if any, is governed by the secured net leverage ratio as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes covenants that would limit the ability of MG Holdings II to pay dividends, make distributions, or repurchase MG Holdings II’s stock in the event MG Holdings II’s secured net leverage ratio exceeds 2.0 to 1.0, while the Term Loan remains outstanding and, thereafter, if MG Holdings II’s consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds 4.0 to 1.0, or if an event of default has occurred. The Credit Agreement includes additional covenants that limit the ability of MG Holdings II and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions. Obligations under the Credit Facility and Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by certain MG Holdings II wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and are also secured by the stock of certain MG Holdings II domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The Term Loan and outstanding borrowings, if any, under the Credit Facility, rank equally with each other, and have priority over the Senior Notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing the borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

(1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the exchange price on each applicable trading day;
(2) during the five-business day period after any five-consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the exchange rate on each such trading day;
(3) if the issuer calls the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
(4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as further described in the indentures governing the respective Exchangeable Notes.
On or after the respective exchangeable dates noted in the table above, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may exchange all or any portion of their Exchangeable Notes regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon exchange, the issuer, in its sole discretion, has the option to settle the Exchangeable Notes with cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. Any shares issued in further settlement of the notes would be offset by shares received upon exercise of the Exchangeable Note Hedges (described below).
The Company’s 2022 Exchangeable Notes were exchangeable as of June 30, 2022. A total of $40.6 million of the 2022 Exchangeable Notes were presented for exchange during the six months ended June 30, 2022 of which $14.6 million aggregate principal amount was not yet settled as of June 30, 2022. No other Exchangeable

Exchangeable Notes Hedges and Warrants
In connection with the Exchangeable Notes offerings, the Company purchased call options allowing the Company to purchase initially (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events) the same number of shares that would be issuable upon the exchange of the applicable Exchangeable Notes at the prices per share set forth below (the “Exchangeable Notes Hedge”), and sold warrants allowing the counterparty to purchase (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events) shares at the per share prices set forth below (the “Exchangeable Notes Warrants”).
The Exchangeable Notes Hedges are expected to reduce the potential dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock upon any exchange of Exchangeable Notes and/or offset any cash payment Match Group FinanceCo, Inc., Match Group FinanceCo 2, Inc. or Match Group FinanceCo 3, Inc. is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the exchanged notes. The Exchangeable Notes Warrants have a dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company common stock exceeds their respective strike prices.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, in connection with the 2022 Exchangeable Notes presented for exchange, we exercised 0.9 million underlying shares of the related 2022 Exchangeable Notes Hedges, which were valued based on the volume weighted average price of Match Group common stock over a 40-day measurement period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received $52.6 million in cash related to these hedge settlements.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we paid $7.5 million to settle 0.4 million underlying shares of the 2022 Exchangeable Notes Warrants.

______________________
(a)The Company uses the if-converted method for calculating the dilutive impact of the outstanding Exchangeable Notes. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the 2022, 2026, and 2030 Exchangeable Notes were not more dilutive under the if-converted method and therefore the weighted average 0.9 million, 6.6 million, and 6.8 million shares, respectively, related to the 2022, 2026, and 2030 Exchangeable Notes are excluded from dilutive securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company adjusted net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Match Group, Inc. shareholders for the cash interest expense, net of income taxes, incurred on the 2022 and 2026 Exchangeable Notes and dilutive shares were included for the same set of notes at the Match Group exchange rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the 2030 Exchangeable Notes were not more dilutive under the if-converted method and therefore the weighted average 6.8 million shares related to the 2030 Exchangeable Notes are excluded from dilutive securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company adjusted net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Match Group, Inc. shareholders for the cash interest expense, net of income taxes, incurred on the 2022, 2026, and 2030 Exchangeable Notes and dilutive shares were included for the same set of notes.
(b)If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options, warrants, and subsidiary

denominated equity and vesting of restricted stock units. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 8.0 million and 2.6 million potentially dilutive securities, respectively, and for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 0.7 million potentially dilutive securities, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
(c)Market-based awards and performance-based restriced stock units (“PSUs”) are considered contingently issuable shares. Shares issuable upon exercise or vesting of market-based awards and PSUs are included in the denominator for earnings per share if (i) the applicable market or performance condition(s) has been met and (ii) the inclusion of the market-based awards and PSUs is dilutive for the respective reporting periods. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 1.5 million shares underlying market-based awards and PSUs, and for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 1.0 million shares, underlying market-based awards and PSUs, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the market or performance conditions had not been met.

NOTE 9—CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including income and non-income tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See “Note 2—Income Taxes” for additional information related to income tax contingencies.
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify IAC for matters relating to any business of Former Match Group, including indemnifying IAC for costs related to the matters described below.
The official names of legal proceedings in the descriptions below (shown in italics) reflect the original names of the parties when the proceedings were filed as opposed to the current names of the parties following the separation of Match Group and IAC.
Tinder Optionholder Litigation Against Former Match Group and Match Group
On August 14, 2018, ten then-current and former employees of Match Group, LLC or Tinder, Inc. (“Tinder”), a former subsidiary of Former Match Group, filed a lawsuit in New York state court against Former Match Group and Match Group. See Sean Rad et al. v. IAC/InterActiveCorp and Match Group, Inc., No. 654038/2018 (Supreme
25

MATCH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
Court, New York County). The complaint alleged that in 2017, the defendants: (i) wrongfully interfered with a contractually established process for the independent valuation of Tinder by certain investment banks, resulting in a substantial undervaluation of Tinder and a consequent underpayment to the plaintiffs upon exercise of their Tinder stock options, and (ii) then wrongfully merged Tinder into Former Match Group, thereby depriving certain of the plaintiffs of their contractual right to later valuations of Tinder on a stand-alone basis. The complaint asserted claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, interference with contractual relations (as against Former Match Group only), and interference with prospective economic advantage, and sought compensatory damages in the amount of at least $2 billion, as well as punitive damages. On August 31, 2018, four plaintiffs who were still employed by Former Match Group filed a notice of discontinuance of their claims without prejudice, leaving the six former employees as the remaining plaintiffs. On June 13, 2019, the court issued a decision and order granting defendants’ motion to dismiss the claims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and for unjust enrichments, as well as the merger-related claim for breach of contract as to two of the remaining six plaintiffs, and otherwise denying defendants’ motion to dismiss. On July 13, 2020, the four former plaintiffs filed arbitration demands with the American Arbitration Association asserting the same valuation claims and on September 3, 2020, the four arbitrations were consolidated. Trial commenced on November 8, 2021. In accordance with the parties’ agreement in December 2021, in June 2022 we paid $441 million to settle all claims in trial and in arbitration.
FTC Lawsuit Against Former Match Group
On September 25, 2019, the FTC filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Texas against Former Match Group. See FTC v. Match Group, Inc., No. 3:19:cv-02281-K (Northern District of Texas). The complaint alleges that, prior to mid-2018, for marketing purposes Match.com notified non-paying users that other users were attempting to communicate with them, even though Match.com had identified those subscriber accounts as potentially fraudulent, thereby inducing non-paying users to subscribe and exposing them to the risk of fraud should they subscribe. The complaint also challenges the adequacy of Match.com’s disclosure of the terms of its six-month guarantee, the efficacy of its cancellation process, and its handling of chargeback disputes. The complaint seeks among other things permanent injunctive relief, civil penalties, restitution, disgorgement, and costs of suit. On October 9, 2020, the court granted the Company’s motion to stay the case until the United States Supreme Court issued a decision in the consolidated appeal of Federal Trade Commission v. Credit Bureau Center, LLC and AMG Capital Management, LLC v. FTC. On April 22, 2021, the Supreme Court issued its decision, ruling that the FTC cannot seek equitable monetary relief under Section 13(b) of the FTC Act. On March 24, 2022, the court granted our motion to dismiss with prejudice on Claims I and II of the complaint relating to communication notifications and granted our motion to dismiss with respect to all requests for monetary damages on Claims III and IV relating to the guarantee offer and chargeback policy. The court otherwise denied our motion to dismiss. On July 19, 2022, the FTC filed its first amended complaint adding Match Group, LLC as a defendant. We believe that the FTC’s claims regarding Match.com’s practices, policies, and procedures are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.
NOTE 10—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Relationship with IAC following the Separation
On June 30, 2020, the companies formerly known as Match Group, Inc. (referred to as “Former Match Group”) and IAC/InterActiveCorp (referred to as “Former IAC”) completed the separation of the Company from IAC through a series of transactions that resulted in two, separate public companies—(1) Match Group, which consists of the businesses of Former Match Group and certain financing subsidiaries previously owned by Former IAC, and (2) IAC/InterActiveCorp, formerly known as IAC Holdings, Inc. (“IAC”), consisting of Former IAC’s businesses other than Match Group (the “Separation”). The Separation was effected pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) dated as of December 19, 2019 and amended as of April 28, 2020 and as further amended as of June 22, 2020.
In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into certain agreements with IAC to govern the relationship between the Company and IAC following the Separation. These agreements, in certain cases, supersede the agreements entered into between Former Match Group and Former IAC in connection with Former Match Group’s IPO in November 2015 (the “IPO Agreements”) and include: a tax matters agreement; a
26

transition services agreement; and an employee matters agreement. The IPO Agreements that were not superseded were terminated at closing of the Separation.
In addition to the agreements entered into at the time of the Separation, Match Group leases office space to IAC in a building owned by the Company in Los Angeles. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received less than $0.1 million from IAC pursuant to the Los Angeles lease.
Match Group has a receivable balance of $0.2 million due from IAC at June 30, 2022.

Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, each of Match Group and IAC is responsible for certain tax liabilities and obligations following the transfer by Former IAC (i) to Match Group of certain assets and liabilities of, or related to, the businesses of Former IAC (other than Former Match Group) and (ii) to holders of Former IAC common stock and Former IAC Class B common stock, as a result of the reclassification and mandatory exchange of certain series of Former IAC exchangeable preferred stock (collectively, the “IAC Distribution”). Under the tax matters agreement, IAC generally is responsible for, and has agreed to indemnify Match Group against, any liabilities incurred as a result of the failure of the IAC Distribution to qualify for the intended tax-free treatment unless, subject to certain exceptions, the failure to so qualify is attributable to Match Group's or Former Match Group’s actions or failure to act, Match Group's or Former Match Group’s breach of certain representations or covenants or certain acquisitions of equity securities of Match Group, in each case, described in the tax matters agreement (a "Match Group fault-based action"). If the failure to so qualify is attributable to a Match Group fault-based action, Match Group is responsible for liabilities incurred as a result of such failure and will indemnify IAC against such liabilities so incurred by IAC or its affiliates.
Under the tax matters agreement, as of June 30, 2022, Match Group is obligated to remit to IAC $1.3 million of expected state tax refunds relating to tax years prior to the Separation. This obligation is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, IAC is obligated to indemnify Match Group for IAC’s share of tax liabilities related to various periods prior to the Separation. At June 30, 2022, a receivable of $1.8 million is included in “Other current assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet representing an estimate of the amount that Match Group expects to be indemnified for under this arrangement. At June 30, 2022, Match Group has an indemnification asset of $0.6 million included in “Other non-current assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for uncertain tax positions that related to Former IAC prior to the Separation.
Transition Services Agreement
Pursuant to the transition services agreement, IAC can provide certain services to Match Group that Former IAC had historically provided to Former Match Group. Match Group can also provide certain services to IAC that Former Match Group previously provided to Former IAC. The transition services agreement also provides that Match Group and IAC will make efforts to replace, amend, or divide certain joint contracts with third-parties relating to services or products used by both Match Group and IAC. Match Group and IAC also agreed to continue sharing certain services provided pursuant to certain third-party vendor contracts that were not replaced, amended, or divided prior to closing of the Separation.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received $20.0 million and $20.5 million, respectively, from IAC for services provided to IAC under the transition services agreement.
Employee Matters Agreement
Pursuant to the amended and restated employee matters agreement, Match Group will reimburse IAC for the cost of any IAC equity awards held by the Company’s employees and former employees upon exercise or vesting.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid IAC less than $0.1 million for the cost of IAC equity awards held by the Company’s employees upon vesting. At June 30, 2022, the Company has accrued $0.6 million as the estimated cost due to IAC for IAC equity awards held by Match Group employees.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021
Americas Direct Revenue grew $34.3 million, or 9%, in 2022 versus 2021, driven by 5% growth in RPP and 4% growth in Payers. RPP growth was driven by both higher average prices paid for subscriptions and increased average à la carte purchases per Payer at Tinder and Hinge. Growth in Payers was primarily driven by Tinder with contributions from Hinge and the Swipe Apps (BLK, Chispa, and Upward), partially offset by decreases at PlentyOfFish, Match, Match Affinity, and OkCupid.
Europe Direct Revenue grew $11.9 million, or 6%, in 2022 versus 2021, driven by 5% growth in Payers and 1% growth in RPP. Growth in Payers was primarily due to Tinder and the acquisition of Hyperconnect in the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by decreases at Meetic. RPP growth was driven by the acquisition of Hyperconnect, which has a higher RPP relative to our other brands, and Tinder, partially offset by unfavorable impacts from the strength of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and British Pound between the two periods.

APAC and Other Direct Revenue grew $39.6 million, or 32%, in 2022 versus 2021, driven by 32% growth in Payers. Payer growth was primarily driven by Tinder and the acquisition of Hyperconnect. RPP was positively impacted by the acquisition of Hyperconnect, offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar compared to the Japanese Yen and Turkish Lira.
Indirect Revenue increased primarily due to receiving a higher rate per impression.

Cost of revenue increased due to the acquisition of Hyperconnect. Excluding the increase from the Hyperconnect acquisition, cost of revenue increased 14% primarily due to an increase in in-app purchase fees of $15.6 million, which included a $5.0 million escrow amount related to litigation regarding the fees paid to the Google Play store, as revenue continues to be increasingly sourced through mobile app stores; and an increase in hosting fees of $7.7 million.

Excluding Hyperconnect and related acquisition expenses incurred in 2021, general and administrative expense increased 3% primarily due to an increase in compensation expense of $10.7 million primarily related to 1) an increase in stock-based compensation related to modifications of certain stock-based awards and new awards granted in the current year, and 2) an increase in headcount. Additionally, general and administrative expense increased due to an increase in travel expenses of $2.3 million as our return to office activities continue to progress; partially offset by a decrease in legal and other professional fees. General and administrative expense related to Hyperconnect decreased primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation related to grants in 2021 associated with the Hyperconnect acquisition and a decrease in professional fees related to the acquisition of Hyperconnect that were incurred in 2021.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021
The operating loss of $10.1 million was driven by the impairment of Hyperconnect intangibles; the increase in cost of revenue due to higher in-app fees, including a $5.0 million escrow accrual in 2022; and an increase in product development expense primarily due to increases in compensation expense. Adjusted Operating Income increased 9% or $23.1 million primarily driven by the increase in revenue of $86.8 million which was driven by growth at Tinder and Hinge and the acquisition of Hyperconnect, and lower selling marketing expense as a percentage of revenue. These increases were partially offset by an increase in cost of revenue due to higher in-app fees and an increase in product development expense primarily due to increases in compensation expense.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Match Group reports Adjusted Operating Income and Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects, both of which are supplemental measures to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted Operating Income is 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 how our business performed 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 with equal or greater prominence 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 discuss below.
Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted Operating Income is defined as operating (loss) income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements, as applicable. We believe this measure is useful to analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted Operating Income measure because they are non-cash in nature. Adjusted Operating Income has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of certain expenses.
Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Adjusted Operating Income
Stock-based compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants of stock options, restricted stock units (“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 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.

Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates on Revenue
The impact of foreign exchange rates on the Company, due to its global reach, may be an important factor in understanding period over period comparisons if movement in exchange rates is significant. Since our results are reported in U.S. dollars, international revenue is 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 the effects from foreign exchange, in addition to reported revenue, helps improve investors’ ability to understand the Company’s performance because it excludes the impact of foreign currency volatility that is not indicative of Match Group’s core operating results.
Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period. Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects is calculated by translating current period revenue using prior period exchange rates. The percentage change in revenue excluding foreign exchange effects is calculated by determining the change in current period revenue over prior period revenue where current period revenue is translated using prior period exchange rates.

The decrease in cash from

Table of Contents
changes in working capital primarily consists of a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $476.1 million due mainly to the settlement payment for Rad, et al. v. IAC/InterActiveCorp, et al. and related arbitrations and the timing of payments. These changes were partially offset by an increase from other assets of $30.6 million primarily due to the settlement of a derivative asset related to the 2022 Exchangeable Notes Hedges and the amortization of prepaid hosting services; and a decrease in income taxes payable of $15.1 million primarily related to the timing of payments related to international taxes.
Net cash used in investing activities in 2022 consists primarily of capital expenditures of $27.3 million that are primarily related to internal development of software and purchases of computer hardware to support our services.
Net cash used in financing activities in 2022 is primarily due to purchases of treasury stock of $191.0 million, payments of $101.1 million of withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net settled equity awards, payments of $94.3 million to repurchase a portion of the outstanding 2022 Exchangeable Notes, purchases of non-controlling interest for $10.6 million, and payments of $7.5 million to settle outstanding warrants associated with the 2022 Exchangeable Notes. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds of $52.6 million related to the settlement of certain outstanding note hedges associated with the 2022 Exchangeable Notes, and $16.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to stock-based awards.
2021
Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations in 2021 includes adjustments to earnings of $72.5 million of stock-based compensation expense, $20.5 million of depreciation, and $7.4 million of other adjustments; partially offset by deferred income taxes of $20.7 million primarily related to the net operating loss created by the settlement of stock-based awards. The decrease in cash from changes in working capital primarily consists of an increase in accounts receivable of $103.1 million primarily related to the timing of cash receipts, including cash received in the fourth quarter of 2020 rather than in the first quarter of 2021, and an increase in revenue; and a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $17.3 million due mainly to the timing of payments, including interest payments. These changes were partially offset by an increase from other assets of $32.6 million primarily due to the amortization of prepaid hosting services; an increase from deferred revenue of $25.7 million, due mainly to growth in subscription sales; and an increase in income taxes payable of $18.9 million primarily related to the timing of payments related to international taxes.
Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2021 consists primarily of cash used to acquire Hyperconnect, net of cash acquired of $840.9 million, and capital expenditures of $32.4 million that are primarily related to internal development of software and purchased computer hardware to support our services.
Net cash provided by financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2021 is primarily due to $37.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to stock-based awards, partially offset by payments of $11.4 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net settled equity awards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents as well as cash flows generated from operations. As of June 30, 2022, $749.6 million was available under the Credit Facility that expires on February 13, 2025.
The Company has various obligations related to long-term debt instruments and operating leases. For additional information on long-term debt, including maturity dates and interest rates, see “Note 5—Long-term Debt, net” to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements.” For additional information on the operating lease payments, including a schedule of obligations by year, see “Note 13—Leases” to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8—Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company believes it has sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy these future obligations.
We paid $441 million from cash on hand in 2022 in connection with the settlement of Rad, et al. v. IAC/InterActiveCorp, et al. and related arbitrations.

The Company anticipates that it will need to make capital and other expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. The Company expects that 2022 cash capital expenditures will be between $65 million and $70 million, a decrease from 2021 cash capital expenditures as several leasehold and building improvements were completed in 2021.
In connection with our agreement with Google to withdraw our temporary restraining order, we have agreed to pay $40 million into an escrow account with scheduled payments through July 2023.
We have entered into various purchase commitments, primarily consisting of web hosting services. Our obligations under these various purchase commitments are $6.0 million for the remainder of 2022 and between $7.0 million and $12.5 million per year from 2023 through 2026.
At June 30, 2022, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than as described above.
On May 2, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) to repurchase up to 12.5 million shares of our common stock. Under the Share Repurchase Program, shares of our common stock may be purchased on a discretionary basis from time to time, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The Share Repurchase Program may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 2.9 million shares for $215.5 million, on a trade date basis. Additionally, from July 1, 2022 to July 5, 2022, we purchased 0.2 million shares for $16.5 million. As of August 1, 2022, a total of 9.3 million shares remain available for repurchase under the repurchase program.
As of June 30, 2022, all of the Company’s international cash can be repatriated without significant tax consequences.
Our indebtedness could limit our ability to: (i) obtain additional financing to fund working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt service, or other requirements; and (ii) use operating cash flow to pursue acquisitions or invest in other areas, such as developing properties and exploiting business opportunities. The Company may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to make additional acquisitions and investments or to provide for greater financial flexibility. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no material changes to the Company’s instruments or positions that are sensitive to market risk since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in order to improve their overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, the Company modifies and refines its internal processes as conditions warrant.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Match Group management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and includes controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Overview
We are, and from time to time may become, involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business activities, such as trademark and patent infringement claims, trademark oppositions, and consumer or advertising complaints, as well as stockholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits, mass arbitrations, and other matters. The amounts that may be recovered in such matters may be subject to insurance coverage. The litigation matters described below involve issues or claims that may be of particular interest to our stockholders, regardless of whether any of these matters may be material to our financial position or operations based upon the standard set forth in the SEC’s rules.
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify IAC for matters relating to any business of Former Match Group, including indemnifying IAC for costs related to the matters described below other than the matter described under the heading “Newman Derivative and Stockholder Class Action Regarding Separation Transaction”.
The official names of legal proceedings in the descriptions below (shown in italics) reflect the original names of the parties when the proceedings were filed as opposed to the current names of the parties following the separation of Match Group and IAC.
Consumer Class Action Litigation Challenging Tinder’s Age-Tiered Pricing
On May 28, 2015, a putative state-wide class action was filed against Tinder in state court in California. See Allan Candelore v. Tinder, Inc., No. BC583162 (Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles). The complaint principally alleged that Tinder violated California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act by offering and charging users age 30 and over a higher price than younger users for subscriptions to its premium Tinder Plus service. The complaint sought certification of a class of California Tinder Plus subscribers age 30 and over and damages in an unspecified amount. On December 29, 2015, in accordance with a prior ruling sustaining Tinder’s demurrer, the court entered judgment dismissing the action. On January 29, 2018, the California Court of Appeal (Second Appellate District, Division Three) issued an opinion reversing the judgment of dismissal. On May 9, 2018, the California Supreme Court denied Tinder’s petition seeking interlocutory review of the Court of Appeal’s decision and the case was returned to the trial court for further proceedings.
In a related development, on June 21, 2019, in a substantially similar putative class action asserting the same substantive claims and pending in federal district court in California, the court entered judgment granting final approval of a class-wide settlement, the terms of which are not material to the Company. See Lisa Kim v. Tinder, Inc., No. 18-cv-3093 (Central District of California). Because the approved settlement class in Kim subsumes the proposed settlement class in Candelore, the judgment in Kim would effectively render Candelore a single-plaintiff lawsuit. Accordingly, on July 11, 2019, two objectors to the Kim settlement, represented by the plaintiff’s counsel in Candelore, filed a notice of appeal from the Kim judgment with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Oral argument on the appeal occurred on January 15, 2021. On August 17, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed and remanded the district court’s decision. On November 3, 2021, the trial court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On December 13, 2021, plaintiff filed an amended motion for final approval of the proposed settlement agreement, the terms of which are not material to the Company. On March 4, 2022, the trial court granted final approval of the settlement agreement. On March 31, 2022, the same objectors as previously filed a notice of appeal from the Kim judgement with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
On June 27, 2022, the trial court issued an order staying the class claims in Candelore pending the Ninth Circuit’s decision on the Kim appeal. We believe that the allegations in the Candelore lawsuit are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against it.
Tinder Optionholder Litigation Against Former Match Group and Match Group
On August 14, 2018, ten then-current and former employees of Match Group, LLC or Tinder, Inc. (“Tinder”), a former subsidiary of Former Match Group, filed a lawsuit in New York state court against Former Match Group
46

Table of Contents
and Match Group. See Sean Rad et al. v. IAC/InterActiveCorp and Match Group, Inc., No. 654038/2018 (Supreme Court, New York County). The complaint alleged that in 2017, the defendants: (i) wrongfully interfered with a contractually established process for the independent valuation of Tinder by certain investment banks, resulting in a substantial undervaluation of Tinder and a consequent underpayment to the plaintiffs upon exercise of their Tinder stock options, and (ii) then wrongfully merged Tinder into Former Match Group, thereby depriving certain of the plaintiffs of their contractual right to later valuations of Tinder on a stand-alone basis. The complaint asserted claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, interference with contractual relations (as against Former Match Group only), and interference with prospective economic advantage, and sought compensatory damages in the amount of at least $2 billion, as well as punitive damages. On August 31, 2018, four plaintiffs who were still employed by Former Match Group filed a notice of discontinuance of their claims without prejudice, leaving the six former employees as the remaining plaintiffs. On June 13, 2019, the court issued a decision and order granting defendants’ motion to dismiss the claims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and for unjust enrichments, as well as the merger-related claim for breach of contract as to two of the remaining six plaintiffs, and otherwise denying defendants’ motion to dismiss. On July 13, 2020, the four former plaintiffs filed arbitration demands with the American Arbitration Association asserting the same valuation claims and on September 3, 2020, the four arbitrations were consolidated. On August 24, 2021, the arbitrator granted our summary judgment with respect to the merger claims. On June 9, 2021, the plaintiffs in Rad filed a Note of Issue and Certificate of Readiness for Trial in which they amended the amount of damages they were claiming to “[m]ore than $5.6 billion”. On October 1, 2021, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment on plaintiffs’ tort claims and breach of contract claims regarding the merger. Trial commenced on November 8, 2021. In accordance with the parties’ agreement in December 2021, in June 2022, we paid $441 million to settle all claims in trial and in arbitration.
FTC Lawsuit Against Former Match Group
On September 25, 2019, the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Texas against Former Match Group. See FTC v. Match Group, Inc., No. 3:19:cv-02281-K (Northern District of Texas). The complaint alleges that, prior to mid-2018, for marketing purposes Match.com notified non-paying users that other users were attempting to communicate with them, even though Match.com had identified those subscriber accounts as potentially fraudulent, thereby inducing non-paying users to subscribe and exposing them to the risk of fraud should they subscribe. The complaint also challenges the adequacy of Match.com’s disclosure of the terms of its six-month guarantee, the efficacy of its cancellation process, and its handling of chargeback disputes. The complaint seeks among other things permanent injunctive relief, civil penalties, restitution, disgorgement, and costs of suit. On October 9, 2020, the court granted the Company’s motion to stay the case until the United States Supreme Court issued a decision in the consolidated appeal of Federal Trade Commission v. Credit Bureau Center, LLC and AMG Capital Management, LLC v. FTC. On April 22, 2021, the Supreme Court issued its decision, ruling that the FTC cannot seek equitable monetary relief under Section 13(b) of the FTC Act. On March 24, 2022, the court granted our motion to dismiss with prejudice on Claims I and II of the complaint relating to communication notifications and granted our motion to dismiss with respect to all requests for monetary damages on Claims III and IV relating to the guarantee offer and chargeback policy. The court otherwise denied our motion to dismiss. On July 19, 2022, the FTC filed its first amended complaint adding Match Group, LLC as a defendant, We believe that the FTC’s claims regarding Match.com’s practices, policies, and procedures are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.
Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Former Match Group
On October 3, 2019, a Former Match Group shareholder filed a securities class action lawsuit in federal district court in Texas against Former Match Group, its then Chief Executive Officer, and its Chief Financial Officer, on behalf of a class of acquirers of Former Match Group securities between August 6, 2019 and September 25, 2019. See Phillip R. Crutchfield v. Match Group, Inc., Amanda W. Ginsberg, and Gary Swidler, No. 3:19-cv-02356-C (Northern District of Texas). Invoking the allegations in the FTC lawsuit described above, the complaint alleges (i) that defendants failed to disclose to investors that Former Match Group induced customers to buy and upgrade subscriptions using misleading advertisements, that Former Match Group made it difficult for customers to cancel their subscriptions, and that, as a result, Former Match Group was likely to be subject to regulatory scrutiny; (ii) that Former Match Group lacked adequate disclosure controls and procedures; and (iii) that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Former Match Group’s business,
47

Table of Contents
operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. On March 30, 2021, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss with leave to amend. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on April 23, 2021. On November 19, 2021, the court denied defendants’ motion to dismiss. On February 24, 2022, plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification, and we have filed our opposition. We believe that the allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.
Derivative Complaint against Former Match Group
On February 28, 2020, a Former Match Group shareholder filed a shareholder derivative complaint in federal district court in Delaware against Former Match Group and its board of directors seeking to recover unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company and require the Company to implement and maintain unspecified internal controls and corporate governance practices and procedures. See Michael Rubin et al. v. Match Group, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-00299 (District of Delaware). Invoking the allegations of the FTC lawsuit and Crutchfield securities class action lawsuit described above, the complaint alleges that the defendants caused or failed to prevent the alleged issues giving rise to the FTC complaint, received or approved compensation tied to the alleged wrongful conduct and sold Former Match Group stock with inside knowledge of the purported conduct. The parties filed a proposed stipulation and order staying the case until the motion to dismiss is decided in the Crutchfield litigation. The court granted the stay on April 9, 2020. In light of the Crutchfield decision, the stay was lifted, and plaintiff filed an amended complaint on March 16, 2022. On February 25, 2021, another Match Group shareholder filed a shareholder derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery on behalf of nominal defendant Match Group, Inc. against its board of directors seeking to recover unspecified monetary damages. See Daniel Ochoa v. Match Group, Inc. et al, C.A. No. 2021-0158-MTZ (Delaware Court of Chancery). The complaint alleges federal securities laws violations and that Match Group’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by purportedly exercising inadequate oversight to prevent the alleged issues giving rise to the FTC complaint and by purportedly transacting in Match Group stock while possessing knowledge of these issues. On January 10, 2022, Ochoa filed an amended complaint. On March 2, 2022, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On May 16, 2022, both the Rubin and Ochoa cases were stayed until the motion for class certification is decided in the Crutchfield litigation. We believe that the allegations in these lawsuits are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.
Irish Data Protection Commission Inquiry Regarding Tinder’s Practices
On February 3, 2020, we received a letter from the Irish Data Protection Commission (the “DPC”) notifying us that the DPC has commenced an inquiry examining Tinder’s compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, focusing on Tinder’s processes for handling access and deletion requests and Tinder’s user data retention policies. We are fully cooperating with the DPC in connection with this inquiry.
Newman Derivative and Stockholder Class Action Regarding Separation Transaction
On June 24, 2020, a Former Match Group shareholder filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Former Match Group and its board of directors, as well as Match Group, IAC Holdings, Inc., and Barry Diller seeking to recover unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company and directly as a result of his ownership of Former Match Group stock in relation to the separation of Former Match Group from its former majority shareholder, Match Group. See David Newman et al. v. IAC/Interactive Corp. et al., C.A. No. 2020-0505-MTZ (Delaware Court of Chancery). The complaint alleges that that the special committee established by Former Match Group’s board of directors to negotiate with Match Group regarding the separation transaction was not sufficiently independent of control from Match Group and Mr. Diller and that Former Match Group board members failed to adequately protect Former Match Group’s interest in negotiating the separation transaction, which resulted in a transaction that was unfair to Former Match Group and its shareholders. On January 21, 2021, the case was consolidated with other shareholder actions, and an amended complaint was filed on April 14, 2021. See In Re Match Group, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 2020-0505-MTZ (Delaware Court of Chancery). Plaintiffs filed another amended complaint on November 2, 2021. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on December 10, 2021. We believe that the allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and will defend vigorously against it.
FTC Investigation of Certain Subsidiary Data Privacy Representations
On March 19, 2020, the FTC issued an initial Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) to the Company requiring us to produce certain documents and information regarding the allegedly wrongful conduct of OkCupid in 2014 and
48

Table of Contents
our public statements in 2019 regarding such conduct and whether such conduct and statements were unfair or deceptive under the FTC Act. On May 26, 2022, the FTC filed a Petition to Enforce Match Civil Investigative Demand. See FTC v. Match Group, Inc., No. 1:22-mc-00054 (District of Columbia). We believe the FTC's investigation and petition to enforce are without merit, and will defend vigorously against it.
Google Litigation
On May 9, 2022, Match Group, LLC, Humor Rainbow, Inc., PlentyofFish Media ULC, and People Media, Inc. (collectively, the “Match Group Parties”) filed a complaint in federal district court in California against Google LLC, Google Ireland Limited, Google Commerce Limited, Google Asia Pacific Pte. Limited, and Google Payment Corp. (collectively, “Google”). See Match Group, LLC et al. v. Google LLC et al., No. 3:22-cv-02746-JD (Northern District of California). In the lawsuit, the Match Group Parties allege that Google’s dominance and anti-competitive conduct in the Android app distribution and in-app payment markets violate federal antitrust laws and California state law, particularly with respect to Google’s requirement that the Match Group Parties use Google Play Billing exclusively and end their practice of offering users payment options for in-app purchases. The Match Group Parties seek injunctive relief preventing Google from requiring their apps to use Google Play Billing, as well as monetary and other relief. The lawsuit was deemed related to the multi-district litigation ("MDL") In re Google Play Store Antitrust Litigation, 3:21-md-02981-JD (Northern District of California) and coordinated with that MDL for certain pre-trial and trial purposes.
On July 11, 2022, Google filed its Answer and Counterclaims, asserting counterclaims against the Match Group Parties for (1) breach of contract, based on the Match Group Parties' alleged breach of the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement (“DDA”) and Payments Policy by failing to exclusively offer Google Play Billing as the payment option for in-app purchases, (2) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, based on the Match Group Parties’ purportedly having misled Google to believe that the Match Group Parties would comply with the DDA’s Payment policy, (3) false promise, based on the Match Group Parties’ alleged promise and failure to comply with the DDA, (4) quasi-contract/unjust enrichment, based on the Match Group Parties’ alleged inducement to Google to make modifications to its billing systems and provide distribution and other services under the understanding that such services were in furtherance of complying with the DDA, and (5) declaratory judgment. Google seeks damages, as well as a declaratory judgment including the right to remove the Match Group Parties’ apps from the Google Play Store. We believe Google’s counterclaims are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.
