Strategic Expense Reductions Help Offset Continued Economic Headwinds
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LendingTree, Inc. (NASDAQ: TREE), operator of LendingTree.com, the nation's leading online financial services marketplace, today announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
The company has posted a letter to shareholders on the company's website at investors.lendingtree.com.
"During the first quarter we completed a strategic expense reduction that impacted 13% of our workforce. The plan targeted parts of our business that are more capital intensive, as well as those areas where the revenue outlook has become less certain in light of the challenging economic environment," said Doug Lebda, Chairman and CEO. "We have also completed our transition from an annual to a quarterly strategic planning cadence. Combined with our cross-functional team support for each of our discrete growth initiatives, we are better able to focus our employees and resources on the projects we believe are most important to deliver on our goal of creating the best-in-class consumer experience, as well as improved financial performance."
Trent Ziegler, CFO, added, "The series of steps we have taken to right-size our fixed costs over the last two quarters will allow us to generate improved operating leverage as demand from our partners eventually recovers. In the interim, running the business more efficiently will help improve our immediate financial performance and streamline our ability to execute on our targeted growth opportunities."
