AI-extracted from Grindr Inc.'s 10-Q filed 2026-08-07 — Q2 FY2026 (quarter ended June 30, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Grindr grew Q2 revenue 32.5% YoY to $138.1M on rising ARPPU and paying users, but net income margin fell to 12.8% from 16.0% as buybacks pushed stockholders' equity to a $(11.7)M deficit.

Largest Expense Items

Selling, general and administrative expense$49.9M+36.7% YoY

Increase of $6.1M in salaries and benefits and $5.2M in marketing expenses

Margins: Operating margin held roughly flat at 23.5% vs 23.4% YoY, but net income margin fell to 12.8% from 16.0% due to higher interest expense from increased debt and a higher effective tax rate (22.5% vs 21.9%) tied to Section 162(m) officer compensation limits.

Watch Items from the Filing

Director G. Raymond Zage, III beneficially owns more than 50% of outstanding shares, making Grindr a 'controlled company' under NYSE standards.
Aggressive buybacks ($147.2M repurchased in H1 2026 plus equity forward instruments) pushed total stockholders' equity to a deficit of $(11.7)M from $47.0M at year-end 2025.
Grindr paid a NOK 65,000,000 (~$6.5M) Norwegian GDPR fine in February 2026 and disputes an additional ~$1.7M in interest assessed by the Norwegian collection agency.
International revenue is 43.0% of total revenue; a hypothetical 10% move in EUR/GBP would have changed quarterly revenue by $3.3 million.
