Data from research firm Apptopia showed that Bumble downloads in the United States increased 20.6% during the first quarter, while monthly average users rose 13.7%, compared to a year earlier.

“Bumble App drove substantial revenue growth across the U.S. and international markets and delivered a significant sequential increase in paying users,” Chief Executive Officer Whitney Wolfe Herd said in a statement.

For the current quarter, Bumble forecast revenue between $218 million to $221 million, which includes an unfavorable impact from the Ukraine conflict of $6 million, primarily in Badoo App.

Bumble said it lost 60,000 paying users between the fourth and first quarter in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus and it expects a decline of about 120,000 to 130,000 paying users across these three markets in the current quarter.
