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.
