According to the report, quarterly revenue was $207.1 million, down 16% from $246.2 million a year earlier. Revenue came in within the company's August guidance of $205–213 million.

Bumble App generated $167.3 million, while Badoo and other assets brought in $39.8 million. Total paying users reached 3.08 million: 1.99 million on Bumble and 1.09 million on Badoo and other services.
