Good afternoon. My name is Rob, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Grindr's Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]

Thank you. I would like to now turn the conference over to Tolu Adeofe, Grindr's Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Thank you, Moderator. Hello, and welcome to Grindr's earnings call for the third quarter 2024. Today's call will be led by Grindr's CEO, George Arison; and CFO, Vanna Krantz. They will make a few brief remarks, and then we'll open it up for questions.

Please note, Grindr released its Shareholder Letter this afternoon, and this is available on the SEC's website and Grindr's Investor page at investors.grindr.com.

Before we begin, I will remind everyone that during this call, we may discuss our outlook and future performance. These forward-looking statements may be preceded by words such as we expect, we believe, we anticipate or similar such statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from the views expressed today.

Some of these risks have been set forth in our earnings release and our periodic reports filed with the SEC. During today's call, we will also present both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Additional disclosures regarding non-GAAP measures, including a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures are included in the earnings release we issued today, which has been posted on the Investor Relations page of Grindr's website and in Grindr's filings with the SEC.

With that, I'll turn it over to George.

George Arison

Thanks, Tolu, and hello, everyone. With strength across all of our financial and user metrics we delivered an exceptional third quarter, enabling us to again increase our revenue growth guidance for the year to 29% or greater.

Our outperformance reflects the success of our Weekly Unlimited subscription offering as well as effective merchandising and paywall optimizations. Advertising revenue also exceeded our expectations this quarter, fueled by increased demand from our third-party advertising partners.
