Payable to Related Parties Pursuant to a Tax Receivable Agreement	Note 4 - Payable to Related Parties Pursuant to a Tax Receivable Agreement In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and IPO, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain of its pre-IPO owners that provides for the payment by the Company to such pre-IPO owners of 85% of the benefits, that the Company realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of the Company's allocable share of existing tax basis acquired in its IPO and other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement. The payments under the tax receivable agreement are not conditioned upon continued ownership of the Company by the pre-IPO owners. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that it will be unable to realize tax benefits related to certain basis adjustments and acquired net operating loss carryforwards that were received in connection with the Reorganization Transactions and its IPO. As a result of this determination, the Company has not recorded the benefit of these deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated based on all positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations.

Based on current projections, the Company anticipates having sufficient taxable income to realize the benefit of this Common Basis and has recorded a tax receivable agreement liability to related parties of $399.7 million related to these benefits as of March 31, 2025.To the extent that the Company determines that it is able to realize the tax benefits associated with the basis adjustments and net operating loss carryforwards, it would record an additional liability of $285.8 million for a total liability of $685.5 million. If, in the future, the Company is not able to utilize the Common Basis, it would record a reduction in the tax receivable agreement liability to related parties that would result in a benefit recorded within its consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company's tax receivable agreement liability decreased by a net $17.0 million due to the tax receivable agreement payment made in the first quarter of 2025 and the impact of share repurchases.

Note 4 - Payable to Related Parties Pursuant to a Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and IPO, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain of its pre-IPO owners that provides for the payment by the Company to such pre-IPO owners of 85% of the benefits, that the Company realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of the Company's allocable share of existing tax basis acquired in its IPO and other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement. The payments under the tax receivable agreement are not conditioned upon continued ownership of the Company by the pre-IPO owners.

The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that it will be unable to realize tax benefits related to certain basis adjustments and acquired net operating loss carryforwards that were received in connection with the Reorganization Transactions and its IPO. As a result of this determination, the Company has not recorded the benefit of these deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated based on all positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets at each reporting period, and a change in its estimate of liability associated with the tax receivable agreement may result as additional information becomes available, including results of operations in future periods. At the time of the Sponsor Acquisition, the assets and liabilities of Bumble Holdings were adjusted to fair value on the closing date of the business combination for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. As a result of the IPO, the Company inherited certain tax benefits associated with this stepped-up basis (“Common Basis”) created when certain pre-IPO owners acquired their interests in

Bumble Holdings in the Sponsor Acquisition. This Common Basis entitles the Company to the depreciation and amortization deductions previously allocable to the pre-IPO owners. Based on current projections, the Company anticipates having sufficient taxable income to realize the benefit of this Common Basis and has recorded a tax receivable agreement liability to related parties of $399.7 million related to these benefits as of March 31, 2025.To the extent that the Company determines that it is able to realize the tax benefits associated with the basis adjustments and net operating loss carryforwards, it would record an additional liability of $285.8 million for a total liability of $685.5 million.
