Bumble Inc. reported a decrease in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, totaling $965.7 million compared to $1.07 billion in 2024. This decline was primarily attributed to a decrease in total paying users, although this was partially offset by an increase in total average revenue per paying user (ARPPU) and favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Bumble App revenue specifically decreased to $783 million from $866.3 million, while Badoo App and Other revenue also saw a decline, falling to $182.6 million from $205.4 million in the previous year. The company experienced a net loss of $895.3 million, which included a significant impairment loss of $1.04 billion, contrasting sharply with the $768.4 million loss in 2024, which included an $892.2 million impairment loss, and the $1.9 million loss in 2023.
Strategic shifts and operational adjustments contributed to the financial results. The company's adjusted EBITDA increased to $313.6 million, representing a margin of 32.5%, compared to $304.1 million in 2024 with a margin of 28.4%. Key operational metrics revealed a decrease in Bumble App paying users to 2.4 million and a decline in Badoo App and Other paying users to 1.2 million. The company also sold Fruitz to a third party in July 2025 and discontinued the Official app.
Key operational developments included a reduction in the global workforce by approximately 30% and the implementation of a new strategy focused on fostering a healthy membership base and improving the member experience. The company also completed the acquisition of Geneva Technologies Inc. on July 1, 2024, for $17.5 million. These strategic decisions and operational changes were aimed at improving long-term profitability and member engagement.
Looking ahead, Bumble Inc. faces the challenge of refinancing $588.5 million in term loans due January 29, 2027. On March 13, 2026, the company secured a commitment letter for a $475 million senior secured term loan facility to refinance the existing debt, contingent upon customary closing conditions. The company's future performance will depend on its ability to execute its strategic plan, manage its debt obligations, and adapt to evolving market conditions and regulatory requirements.
