“The Company has had a satisfactory year and there are no significant changes in business activities expected in the foreseeable future. The Company provides research and development services to other Bumble Inc. entities and therefore is reliant on Bumble Inc.'s ongoing support. The Company has obtained a letter of support from Bumble Inc providing the support and financial backing of Bumble Inc. to meet its financial liabilities as they fall due until a period of 12 months from the date of the approval of the balance sheet. Accordingly with the provision of this letter and based upon their assessment of the ability of Bumble Inc. to provide this support in addition to enquiries of the Directors of Bumble Inc., which indicate that it is Bumble Inc.'s intention to continue to provide financial support to the Company and to provide sufficient funds to the Company for these purposes, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and Financial Statements.”

Significant events
- “In February 2024, Bumble announced that it adopted a restructuring plan (the "2024 Restructuring Plan") to reduce its global workforce by approximately 350 employees. The 2024 Restructuring Plan was completed in the third quarter of 2024.”
- “A further restructuring plan was announced in June 2025 which at this time is ongoing and not currently quantifiable.”
- “In March 2025, Whitney Wolfe Herd, who previously served as the Bumble Inc CEO until January 1, 2024, and transitioned to Executive Chair effective January 2, 2024, returned to the role as the Bumble Inc CEO. Lidiane Jones resigned from CEO In March 2025.”
- “As part of the progression of the Company's strategic priorities, the Company decided to discontinue its operation of the Fruitz app. As a result, the Company sold its subsidiary, Flashgap SAS, to a third party in July 2025. The transaction does not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and operating results.”
- “In June 2025, Bumble announced that the Company intends to reduce its global workforce. At this time the reduction in employees is not quantifiable but will impact UK employees. No adjustment has been made for this subsequent event.”
