Financial report summary
?Risks
- Our business can be impacted by market perception of the Grindr brand; if events occur that damage our reputation and brand, our ability to maintain and expand our base of users may be impaired, and our business could be materially and adversely affected.
- Changes to our existing products and services, or the development and introduction of new products and services, could fail to attract or retain users or generate revenue and profits.
- If we fail to retain existing users or add new users, or if our users decrease their level of engagement with our products and services or do not convert to Paying Users, our revenue, financial results and business may be significantly harmed.
- Inappropriate actions by our users could be attributed to us and damage our brand or reputation, or subject us to regulatory inquiries, legal action, or other liabilities, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business.
- Unfavorable media coverage could materially and adversely affect our business, brand, or reputation.
- The online social networking industry in which we operate is highly competitive, and if we cannot compete effectively our business will suffer.
- We may pursue acquisition opportunities to continue the growth of our business; however, we may not be successful in pursuing or completing future acquisitions or integrating future acquisitions in a way that fully realizes their expected benefits to our business.
- The distribution of, marketing of, and access to our products and services depend, in large part, on third-party platforms and mobile application stores, among other third-party providers. If these third parties limit, prohibit, or fail to operate, or otherwise interfere with the distribution or use of our products or services in any material way, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Concerns relating to our products and services and the use of user information could negatively impact our user base or user engagement, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- We rely primarily on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store as the channels for processing of payments. In addition, access to our products and services depends on mobile app stores and other third parties such as data center service providers, as well as third-party payment aggregators, computer systems, internet transit providers and other communications systems and service providers. Any deterioration in our relationship with Apple, Google or other such third parties may negatively impact our business.
- Our user growth, engagement, and monetization on mobile devices depend upon effective operation with mobile operating systems, networks, and standards that we do not control.
- Adverse social and political environments for the LGBTQ community in certain parts of the world, including actions by governments or other groups, could limit our geographic reach, business expansion, and user growth, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operation.
- Our success depends on the demographics of the community that we serve and our ability to foresee and respond to changing market and user demands.
- Our growth and monetization strategies may not be successfully implemented or generate sustainable revenue and profit.
- Our product development, investment, and other business decisions may not prioritize short-term financial results and may not produce the long-term benefits that we expect.
- The failure to attract new advertisers, the loss of existing advertisers, a deterioration in any of our advertising relationships, or a reduction in their spending could adversely impact our business.
- We have significant internationally-sourced revenue, and as a result, we may face additional risks in connection with certain of our international operations that could adversely affect our financial results.
- Our business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by pandemics or other public health emergencies.
- We depend on our key personnel and we may not be able to operate or grow our business effectively if we lose the services of any of our key personnel or are unable to attract qualified personnel in the future.
- Unionization activities may disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business.
- We have limited insurance coverage concerning our business and operations.
- We rely on key operating metrics that have not been independently verified to manage our business. We may periodically change our metrics, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business.
- Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
- Security breaches, unauthorized access to or disclosure of our data or user data, other hacking and phishing attacks on our systems or those of third parties upon which we rely, or other data security incidents could compromise sensitive information related to our business or users processed by us or on our behalf and expose us to liability, which could harm our reputation, generate negative publicity, and materially and adversely affect our business.
- Our success depends, in part, on the integrity of our (and those of our third-party partners) information technology systems and infrastructures and on our ability to enhance, expand, and adapt these systems and infrastructures in a timely and cost-effective manner.
- We use generative artificial intelligence and machine learning in our products and services which may result in operational challenges, legal liability, reputational concerns, competitive risks and regulatory concerns that could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
- We are subject to risks related to credit card payments, including data security breaches and fraud that we or third parties experience or additional regulation, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Our success depends, in part, on the integrity of third-party systems and infrastructures and on continued and unimpeded access to our products and services on the internet.
- If our information systems (such as our hardware, software, products, or those of third parties upon which we rely) contain undetected errors or vulnerabilities, we could be subject to liability and our business could be materially adversely affected.
- From time to time, we are party to intellectual property-related litigations and proceedings that are expensive and time consuming to defend, and, if resolved adversely, could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- We may fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or to prevent third parties from making unauthorized use of such rights, and our registered intellectual property is subject to challenge.
- Our use of “open-source” software could subject our proprietary software to general release, adversely affect our ability to sell our products and services, and subject us to possible legal action.
- If the use of third-party cookies or other tracking technology is rejected by our users, restricted by third parties outside of our control, or otherwise subject to unfavorable regulation, our performance could be negatively impacted and we could incur significant revenue loss.
- We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which, if not corrected, could affect the reliability of our consolidated financial statements.
- Investments in our business may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations which may impose conditions on or limit certain investors’ ability to purchase our stock, potentially making the stock less attractive to investors. Our future investments in U.S. companies may also be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations.
- Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and international laws and regulations. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change or uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, declines in user growth or engagement, negative publicity, or other harm to our business.
- The varying and rapidly evolving regulatory framework on privacy and data protection, including across jurisdictions and other obligations, could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or declines in user growth or engagement, or otherwise harm our business.
- We may be held liable for information or content displayed on, retrieved from, or transmitted over our platform, as well as interactions that result from the use of our platform.

- There is no guarantee that our Warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.
- Our stock price may be volatile and stockholders may be unable to sell shares at or above the price at which they purchased them.
- Future sales of our common stock and/or warrants or the perception of such sales, in particular by our directors, officers, and significant stockholders, could cause the market price for our securities to decline. Resales of significant volumes of our securities may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
- Reports published by analysts or the ceasing of publication of research or reports about us, including projections in those reports that differ from our actual results, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of our securities.
- A downturn in the global economy or other adverse macroeconomic disruptions, especially in the U.S. and Europe, where a substantial majority of our revenue is generated could adversely impact our business.
- Our employees could engage in misconduct that materially adversely affects us.
Management Discussion
- Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
- Grindr Inc. ("Grindr" or the "Company") manages and operates the Grindr platform, a global social network platform serving and addressing the needs of the LGBTQ community. We had 13.3 million Average MAUs and 937 thousand Average Paying Users in 2023, as compared to 12.2 million Average MAUs and 788 thousand Average Paying Users in 2022.
- The Grindr platform includes a mobile application ("Grindr App") and a web-browser-based application. The Grindr App is free to download and provides certain services and features to Grindr's users at no cost, and also offers a variety of additional controls and features for users who enroll in our premium subscription and add-on products, including access to our web application of Grindr XTRA and Grindr Unlimited. A substantial portion of our revenue is from direct revenue, representing 86.8% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. Direct revenue is derived directly from users in the form of subscription fees, providing our users access to a variety of features for the period of their subscription, or in the form of add-ons pay-per-use access to premium features. Leveraging strong brand awareness and our significant user network stemming from our first mover advantage in the LGBTQ social networking industry, our historical growth in number of users has been driven primarily by word-of-mouth referrals and other organic means.
