Item 1A. Risk Factors

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The use of words such as anticipates, estimates, expects, plans, and believes, among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to: Match Groups future financial performance, Match Groups business prospects and strategy, anticipated trends and prospects in the industries in which Match Groups businesses operate, and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on Match Group managements current expectations and assumptions about future events as of the date of this quarterly report, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.

Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among others: our ability to maintain or grow the size of our user base, competition, the limited operating history of some of our brands, our ability to attract users to our services through cost-effective marketing and related efforts, our ability to distribute our services through third parties and offset related fees, risks related to our use of artificial intelligence, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, the integrity and scalability of our systems and infrastructure (and those of third parties) and our ability to adapt ours to changes in a timely and cost-effective manner, our ability to protect our systems from cyberattacks and to protect personal and confidential user information, risks relating to certain of our international operations and acquisitions, damage to our brands' reputations as a result of inappropriate actions by users of our services, uncertainties related to the tax treatment of our separation from IAC, uncertainties related to the acquisition of Hyperconnect, including, among other things, the expected benefits of the transaction and the impact of the transaction on the businesses of Match Group, and macroeconomic conditions.

Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in Match Groups filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect Match Groups business, financial condition, and results of operations may arise from time to time. In light of these risks and uncertainties, these forward-looking statements discussed in this quarterly report may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which only reflect the views of Match Group management as of the date of this quarterly report. Match Group does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.
