Quality

82

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 82 of 100, in the strongest band of the covered universe. The underlying fundamental measurements behind this reading are consistent rather than mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Accelerating

65

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 65 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as accelerating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Weak

19

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 19 of 100, recorded as weak. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has increased at about 39.0% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

Our mission is to build the Global Gayborhood in Your Pocket , and, through our success, to make a world where the lives of our global LGBTQ community are free, equal, and just. We manage and operate the Grindr platform, a global social networking platform primarily serving and addressing the needs of gay, bisexual, and sexually explorative adults around the world. We had 15.0 million, 14.2 million, and 13.3 million Average MAUs for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Additionally, we had 1.3 million, 1.1 million, and 0.9 million Average Paying Users for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. We enable our users to find and engage with one another, share content and interests, discover products and experiences relevant for them, and generally express their unique selves. As a "gayborhood" on our users’ mobile devices, our platform is a meaningful part of our users’ lives and has embedded us at the center of their communities, as they seek relationships of various forms, whether intimate, romantic, or social.

As a company built by gay people for gay people, Grindr fulfills crucial needs for its users. While the broader global landscape of social networks is highly competitive with many different platforms, there are few global platforms that focus solely on the gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer ("GBTQ") community and address their unique needs. Our platform enables GBTQ adults to connect with one another and the world. Our users have a range of intentions and use cases. Our platform helps our users find what they are looking for: casual dating, long-term relationships, community and friendships, professional networking, travel information, and local discovery. By facilitating the connection of our users around the world, we believe we can help our community find one another; advance lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer ("LGBTQ") rights globally; and make the world a safer place for our community.

The Grindr platform has become an integral part of the daily lives of our millions of users, enabling them to discover and connect with one another effortlessly anytime. The Grindr platform offers a variety of location-based social features and functions, including identity expression (profile, photos, presence, Taken on Grindr); connection (search, filters, the Cascade, Viewed Me, Right Now, recommendations); and interaction (chat, media sharing, Discover, interactive map); with trust and safety tools across the experience, and subscriptions for premium features offering further access and control. Since our inception, we have continued to innovate and enhance the Grindr platform, adding new features and safety elements, which has allowed us to increase engagement of our monthly active users ("MAUs"). The Grindr platform has benefited from first mover advantage globally, resulting in MAUs in over 190 countries and territories.

We have attracted a highly engaged and growing user base, as evidenced by the following:
