NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Shutterstock, Inc. (NYSE:SSTK) (the "Company"), a family of brands delivering scalable creative and GenAI solutions to help customers fuel great work, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Commenting on the Company's performance, Rik Powell, the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, said, "Following the termination of our proposed merger, we have moved quickly to strengthen our balance sheet, reduce our cost structure, and sharpen our focus on the areas with the greatest potential and are approaching every aspect of the business with discipline and urgency. We have taken significant cost actions over the past 18 months that equate to over $70 million of annualized run-rate operating expense reductions and are targeting an additional $60 million in annualized run-rate operating expense reductions by the end of the year. These actions will give us greater optionality in our capital allocation strategy."

He continued, "While we recognize the challenges in front of us, Shutterstock remains a company with meaningful strategic assets, including a globally recognized brand, one of the world's largest and most diverse commercially licensed content libraries, a differentiated Data and AI Services business, our unique GIPHY platform, and strong cash generation. Together, these strengths provide a solid foundation as we refine our long-term strategy and position the business for its next phase of growth which we look forward to discussing in the coming weeks."

EARNINGS TELECONFERENCE INFORMATION

In light of the pending strategic update, the Company will no longer be hosting the conference call originally scheduled for August 6, 2026 or issuing guidance for the remainder of 2026.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Revenue

Second quarter revenue of $221.8 million decreased by $45.2 million or 17% as compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Revenue from our Content product offering decreased by $34.1 million, or 17%, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, to $165.7 million. The reduction in our Content revenue was driven primarily by weakness in new customer acquisition. Content revenue represented 75% of our total revenue in the second quarter of 2026.

Revenue generated from our Data, Distribution, and Services product offering decreased by $11.1 million, or 16%, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, to $56.1 million, and represented 25% of second quarter revenue in 2026. Revenue recognition in our data offering may vary from quarter-to-quarter based on the delivery timing of metadata licenses.

Net income and net income per diluted common share

Net income decreased by $185.4 million to a net loss of $155.9 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $29.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. Net loss per diluted common share was $4.25, as compared to net income per diluted common share of $0.82 for the same period in 2025. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $173.7 million resulting from the decline in the Company's fair value after the announcement of the terminated merger agreement. Additionally, the Company had further declines in revenue, with operating costs not declining at a similar rate, as well as $3.0 million of unrealized losses related to our investment in Meitu, Inc, $3.7 million of Merger related costs, $5.0 million of legal contingency expenses and $3.0 million of workforce optimizations expenses.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted common share

Adjusted net income of $30.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 decreased by $12.9 million, compared to adjusted net income of $42.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the decline in revenue.

Adjusted net income per diluted common share was $0.82, compared to $1.19 for the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA of $65.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 decreased by $17.1 million, or 21%, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the decline in revenue.

Net loss margin of 70.3% for the second quarter of 2026 decreased by 81.3%, as compared to net income margin of 11.0% in the second quarter of 2025. The adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.3% for the second quarter of 2026 decreased by 1.5%, as compared to 30.8% in the second quarter of 2025.

SECOND QUARTER LIQUIDITY

Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $29.3 million to $133.2 million at June 30, 2026, as compared with $162.5 million as of March 31, 2026. This was driven by $0.6 million of net cash from operating activities, including a $35.0 million payment for the settlement of the FTC's civil investigative demand on the Company's subscription disclosure and enrollment and cancellation practices. In addition, the Company had $18.5 million of net cash used in financing activities and $10.1 million of net cash used in investing activities.

Net cash from operating activities was driven by the $35.0 million payment to the FTC. This was offset by cash generation from our business operations and changes in the timing of cash collections from our customers and payments pertaining to operating expenses. In addition, cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were unfavorably impacted by $3.0 million of expenses related to the Getty Images proposed merger.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of $10.1 million related to capital expenditures, $0.1 million of content acquisition, partially offset by $0.1 million related to the receipt of the Giphy Retention Compensation, as reimbursed by the Giphy seller.

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of $13.2 million related to the payment of the quarterly cash dividend, $4.5 million paid in settlement of tax withholding obligations related to employee stock-based compensation awards, and $0.8 million used for the repayment of our credit facility.

Adjusted free cash flow was $28.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $11.0 million from the second quarter of 2025.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement Shutterstock's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, Shutterstock's management considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, collectively referred to as non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, revenue growth (including by distribution channel) on a constant currency basis (expressed as a percentage), and adjusted free cash flow.

Shutterstock defines adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, non-cash equity-based compensation, Giphy Retention Compensation Expense - non-recurring, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, severance costs associated with strategic workforce optimizations, goodwill impairment, impairment loss on long-term investment, impairment of lease assets, unrealized losses / gains on investments, legal contingencies, interest income and expense, income taxes and Merger related costs; adjusted EBITDA margin as the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to revenue; adjusted net income as net income adjusted for the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, Giphy Retention Compensation Expense - non-recurring, severance costs associated with strategic workforce optimizations (reported in Other), unrealized losses / gains on investments (reported in Other), goodwill impairment, impairment loss on long-term investment, legal contingencies, Merger related costs and the estimated tax impact of such adjustments; adjusted net income per diluted common share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted shares; revenue growth (including by product offering) on a constant currency basis (expressed as a percentage) as the increase in current period revenues over prior period revenues, utilizing fixed exchange rates for translating foreign currency revenues for all periods presented in the comparison; and adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for capital expenditures, content acquisition, cash received related to Giphy Retention Compensation in connection with the acquisition of Giphy, cash paid for the settlement of the FTC investigation, and cash paid for costs related to the Getty Images merger.

The expense associated with the Giphy Retention Compensation related to (i) the one-time employment inducement bonuses and (ii) the vesting of the cash value of unvested Meta equity awards held by the employees prior to closing, which are reflected in operating expenses (together, the "Giphy Retention Compensation Expense - non-recurring"), are required payments in accordance with the terms of the acquisition. Meta's sale of Giphy was directed by the United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority (the "CMA") and accordingly, the terms of the acquisition were subject to CMA preapproval. Management considers the operating expense associated with these required payments to be unusual and non-recurring in nature. The Giphy Retention Compensation Expense - non-recurring is not considered an ongoing expense necessary to operate the Company's business. Therefore, such expenses have been included in the below adjustments for calculating adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted common share.

These figures have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be considered only in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Shutterstock cautions investors that non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

Shutterstock's management believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted common share, revenue growth (including by product offering) on a constant currency basis (expressed as a percentage) and adjusted free cash flow are useful to investors because these measures enable investors to analyze Shutterstock's operating results on the same basis as that used by management. Additionally, management believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted common share provide useful information to investors about the performance of the Company's overall business because such measures eliminate the effects of unusual or other infrequent charges that are not directly attributable to Shutterstock's underlying operating performance; and revenue growth (including by product offering) on a constant currency basis (expressed as a percentage) provides useful information to investors by eliminating the effect of foreign currency fluctuations that are not directly attributable to Shutterstock's operating performance. Management also believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the comparability for investors in assessing Shutterstock's financial reporting. Shutterstock's management believes that adjusted free cash flow is useful for investors because it provides them with an important perspective on the cash available for strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in internal-use software and website development costs to support the Company's ongoing business operations, and provides them with the same measures that management uses as the basis for making resource allocation decisions.

Shutterstock's management also uses the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted common share, revenue growth (including by product offering) on a constant currency basis (expressed as a percentage), and adjusted free cash flow, in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, as an integral part of managing the business and to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of Shutterstock's business operations, financial performance and overall liquidity; (ii) facilitate management's internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of its business operations; (iii) facilitate management's external comparisons of the results of its overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels; (iv) review and assess the operating performance of Shutterstock's management team and, together with other operational objectives, as a measure in evaluating employee compensation; (v) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and (vi) plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments.

Reconciliations of the differences between each of our non-GAAP financial measures (adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted common share, revenue growth (including by product offering) on a constant currency basis (expressed as a percentage), adjusted free cash flow), and each measure's most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, are presented under the headings "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP" and "Supplemental Financial Data" immediately following the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
