LendingTree reported third-quarter 2026 consolidated revenue of $343.6 million, a 12% increase from the same period a year earlier, with growth recorded across all three of the company's business segments, the online lending marketplace said in its earnings release.
Despite the top-line gain, the company recorded a GAAP net loss of $72.4 million, or $5.15 per diluted share. The loss was driven primarily by a $98.8 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, an accounting writedown that does not affect operating cash flows but signals a reassessment of the carrying value of acquired assets on the balance sheet.
