Americas Direct Revenue grew $55.7 million , or 16%, in 2022 versus 2021, driven
by 8% growth in RPP and 7% growth in Payers. RPP growth was driven by both
higher subscriptions and increased à la carte purchases at Tinder and Hinge.
Growth in Payers was primarily driven by Tinder with contributions from Hinge
and the Swipe Apps (BLK, Chispa, and Upward), partially offset by decreases at
Match, Match Affinity, and PlentyOfFish.
Europe Direct Revenue grew $26.3 million , or 14%, in 2022 versus 2021, driven by
11% growth in Payers and 2% growth in RPP. Growth in Payers was primarily due to
Tinder and the acquisition of Hyperconnect in the second quarter of 2021. RPP
growth was driven by Tinder and the acquisition of Hyperconnect , which has a
higher RPP relative to our other brands, offset by unfavorable impacts from the
strength of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro between the two periods.
APAC and Other Direct Revenue grew $46.7 million , or 38%, in 2022 versus 2021,
driven by 34% growth in Payers and 3% growth in RPP. Payer growth was primarily
driven by Tinder and the acquisition of Hyperconnect .

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Match Group reports Adjusted Operating Income and Revenue excluding foreign
exchange effects, both of which are supplemental measures to U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted Operating Income is among the
primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our business, on which
our internal budget is based, and by which management is compensated. Revenue
excluding foreign exchange effects provides a comparable framework for assessing
how our business performed without the effect of exchange rate differences when
compared to prior periods. We believe that investors should have access to the
same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures
should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP,
but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Match
Group endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measures
presented by providing the comparable GAAP measures with equal or greater
prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such
items, to derive the non-GAAP measures. We encourage investors to examine the
reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures, which we discuss
below.
Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted Operating Income is defined as operating income excluding:
(1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3)
acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets
and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable, and (ii) gains
and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration
arrangements, as applicable. We believe this measure is useful to analysts and
investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our
performance and that of our competitors. The above items are excluded from our
Adjusted Operating Income measure because they are non-cash in nature. Adjusted
Operating Income has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of
certain expenses.
Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Adjusted Operating Income
Stock-based compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with
the grants of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based
RSUs and market-based awards. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we
include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding using the
treasury stock method; however, performance-based RSUs and market-based awards
are included only to the extent the applicable performance or market
condition(s) have been met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end
of the contingency period). To the extent stock-based awards are settled on a
net basis, we remit the required tax-withholding amounts from current funds.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our property and equipment and is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter.
Amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible
assets are non-cash expenses related primarily to acquisitions. At the time of
an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the
acquired company, such as customer lists, trade names, and technology, are
valued and amortized over their estimated lives. Value is also assigned to (i)
acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of trade names and
trademarks, and (ii) goodwill, which are not subject to amortization. An
impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or
goodwill exceeds its fair value. We believe that intangible assets represent
costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and
the related amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets or
goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.

Adjusted Operating Income Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates on Revenue
The impact of foreign exchange rates on the Company, due to its global reach, may be an important factor in understanding period over period comparisons if movement in exchange rates is significant. Since our results are reported inU.S. dollars, international revenue is favorably impacted as theU.S. dollar weakens relative to other currencies, and unfavorably impacted as theU.S. dollar strengthens relative to other currencies. We believe the presentation of revenue excluding the effects from foreign exchange, in addition to reported revenue, helps improve investors' ability to understand the Company's performance because it excludes the impact of foreign currency volatility that is not indicative ofMatch Group's core operating results. Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period. Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects is calculated by translating current period revenue using prior period exchange rates. The percentage change in revenue excluding foreign exchange effects is calculated by determining the change in current period revenue over prior period revenue where current period revenue is translated using prior period exchange rates. 34 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
