TREE: Revenue grew 12%; goodwill impairment drove a $72.4M Q3 GAAP net loss

LendingTree reported third-quarter revenue growth of 12% year over year across all three segments. A $98.8 million non-cash goodwill impairment, an accounting write-down that does not involve a current cash payment, drove a $72.4 million GAAP net loss. Fiscal-year guidance calls for 17% revenue growth and 14% adjusted EBITDA growth at the midpoint.

What happened

LendingTree reported that revenue in the third quarter of 2026 rose 12% from a year earlier, with growth in all three business segments. A non-cash accounting write-down of goodwill contributed to a $72.4 million loss under standard accounting rules. The company also plans share repurchases in the fourth quarter.

Global impact / market context

Revenue growth across all three segments points to broader business growth, while the reported loss shows the effect of the goodwill write-down on standard accounting results. The company’s outlook and planned share repurchases may matter to investors, but no market reaction is provided.

What to watch

  1. Check whether the company reports further revenue growth across all three segments; this shows whether the broad growth continues.
  2. Check whether the company updates its 2026 outlook of 17% revenue growth and 14% adjusted operating earnings growth at the midpoint; this shows whether its expectations change.
  3. Check whether the planned fourth-quarter share repurchases take place; this shows whether the announced plan is carried out.
