Grindr Revenue, Users Jump In Q3: Will The Dating App Be A SPAC Success Story?
Grindr Inc (NYSE:GRND), a dating app oriented at the LGBTQ community that began listing on the New York Stock Exchange in November, reported third-quarter earnings on Monday, showing an increase in revenues and users.
格林德公司 NYSE: GRND）是一款面向 LGBTQ 社區的約會應用程序，該應用程序於 11 月開始在紐約證券交易所上市，週一報告了第三季度盈利，顯示收入和用戶增加。
What Happened: Grindr, which went public through a $2.1 billion SPAC merger with Tiga Acquisition, issued third-quarter earnings on Monday, booking $50.4 million, up 32% year over year. The company has posted year-to-date revenues of $140.5 million.
發生了什麼事： Grindr 與 Tiga 收購進行了 21 億美元的 SPAC 合併，該公司於週一發布了第三季度盈利，預訂 50.4 萬美元，同比增長 32%。該公司迄今為止的年度收入為 1.4550 萬美元。
The company also said paying users were up from 577,000 in 2021 to 818,000 year over year.
該公司還表示，付費用戶從 2021 年的 577,000 增加到去年同期的 818,000。
"We had an excellent third quarter and year to date as we prepared to enter the public markets," said Grindr CEO George Arison. "Financial results reflect growth in paying users and average revenue per user, supported by Grindr's strong business model."
Grindr 執行長表示：「隨著我們準備進入公共市場，我們的第三季度和一年迄今為止，我們的第三季度和年度都非常 乔治·艾里森。Grindr 強大的商業模式支持，財務結果反映了付費用戶的增長和每位用戶的平均收入。」
Arison said the company has made solid progress on key initiatives, including the ramp-up of Boost, a premium add-on feature that enables connections beyond the hyperlocal.
Alison 表示，該公司在關鍵計劃方面取得了堅實的進展，包括 Boost 的升級，這是一種高級附加功能，可實現超本地以外的連接。
Why It Matters: After only a few weeks on the NYSE, the stock soared over 400% before plummeting below IPO levels. GRND is presently trading 38% below its IPO price – but there's a clear reason for the drop.
為什麼它很重要： 在紐約證券交易所上市僅幾週後，股票飆升了 400%，然後暴跌至 IPO 水平以下。GRND 目前的交易價格低於 IPO 價格的 38％，但是下跌有明顯的原因。
The high volatility affecting the stock comes after a high percentage of shares were redeemed as part of the merger, which in turn lowered the float of the public company.
在合併過程中贖回了很高百分比的股票之後，影響股票的高波動性出現，從而降低了上市公司的浮動性。
Benzinga previously reported that a total of 98% of the shares were redeemed at the merger. Until the share unlocks, the company could see volatility spikes on any positive momentum, and the stock may also see strong mentions on social media.
Beninga 此前報告稱，總共有 98％ 的股票在合併時贖回。在股票解鎖之前，該公司可能會在任何積極的動力下看到波動性峰值，並且該股票也可能在社交媒體上看到強烈提及。
