Significant events

- “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.”
- “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.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
