Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Bumble’s management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 14a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) at December 31, 2025. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that ourdisclosure controls and procedures were effective at December 31, 2025.

Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weakness

As previously reported, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, related to foreign currency translation resulting from certain intercompany loan transactions. Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, evaluated the material weakness and implemented a remediation plan that included: (i) formalizing standard operating procedures and accounting policies related to intercompany transactions and foreign currency effects, (ii) redesigning controls over intercompany loan transactions to validate completeness and accuracy on a timely basis, and (iii) enhancing the quarterly fluctuation analysis process to increase the precision and documentation of reviews.

As of December 31, 2025, all remediation efforts have been completed and applicable controls have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time. Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee, has tested and validated the effectiveness of these controls and concluded that the previously identified material weakness has been fully remediated as of December 31, 2025.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, including our CEO and CFO, has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework(2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as noted in the preceding paragraphs, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended December 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
