Shutterstock Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Second Quarter 2016 Highlights:
• | Revenue increased 19% to $124.4 million |
• | Income from operations increased 8% to $10.5 million |
• | Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $22.5 million |
• | Repurchased an additional $16.3 million of stock |
• | Paid downloads increased 21% |
• | Image collection expanded 61% to 92.1 million images and video collection expanded 69% to 4.9 million clips |
New York - August 4, 2016 - Shutterstock, Inc. (NYSE: SSTK), a leading global provider of commercial imagery and music, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Founder and CEO Jon Oringer said “Shutterstock’s strong second quarter growth once again demonstrates the power of the network model we have built and the sustained momentum we are generating across both sides of our marketplace. The quality and breadth of our content library combined with an unparalleled search experience continues to attract a diverse customer base that today downloads over 5.5 images per second. We remain committed to expanding our content offerings and investing in innovative technology solutions to further build our customer base, increase overall engagement and deliver sustained financial growth.”
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Revenue
Second quarter revenue of $124.4 million increased $20.1 million or 19% as compared to the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to a 21% increase in the number of paid downloads, mainly due to new customers, and increased activity by enterprise clients. The negative impact of foreign currency movements versus the US dollar partially offset this growth. Excluding the impact of foreign currency movements, total Company revenue growth was approximately 22% in the second quarter.
Income from Operations
Income from Operations of $10.5 million increased $0.8 million or 8% as compared to the second quarter of 2015 driven by the 19% revenue growth, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses primarily from higher royalty costs associated with the increase in paid downloads.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA of $22.5 million increased $1.8 million or 9% as compared to the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, Adjusted EBITDA growth was approximately 15% in the second quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from operations adjusted for depreciation, amortization, disposals, non-cash equity-based compensation and accelerated change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions.
Net Income
Net income available to common stockholders of $7.2 million, $0.20 per diluted share, for the second quarter increased $1.9 million as compared with $5.3 million, $0.15 per diluted share, in the second quarter a year ago primarily due to the improved operating performance, lower income tax expense and a decrease in non-cash equity based compensation expense.
Non-GAAP net income, which excludes the after-tax impact of non-cash equity-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions was $12.7 million, $0.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter as compared to $11.2 million, $0.31 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015.
LIQUIDITY
The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short term investments totaled $265.9 million at June 30, 2016 as compared with $288.4 million at December 31, 2015 primarily reflecting the $41.6 million of cash generated from operations, which was more than offset by capital expenditures and content acquisitions of $17.8 million and by cash used to repurchase shares of approximately $44.5 million.
Free cash flow was $9.3 million for the second quarter, a decrease of $4.8 million from the second quarter of 2015, as the improved operating performance was more than offset by increased spending on capital expenditures and content acquisitions as well as working capital fluctuations. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures and content acquisition.
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 399,000 shares of its stock, pursuant to its existing $100 million stock repurchase program, at an average price per share of $40.73 for a total of $16.3 million. Through June 30, 2016, the Company has repurchased 1.7 million shares of its stock for a total of $59.7 million under the stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program, which commenced in November 2015, authorizes management to purchase shares from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at prevailing prices as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Full Year 2016
• | Revenue of $495 - $510 million (17% - 20% growth) |
• | Income from operations of $43 - $51 million (5% - 24% growth) |
• | Adjusted EBITDA of $95 - $100 million (12% - 18% growth) |
• | Non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $28 - $33 million |
• | Capital expenditures of $30 - $35 million |
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Shutterstock defines Adjusted EBITDA as income from operations adjusted for depreciation, amortization, disposals, non-cash equity-based compensation and the accelerated change in fair value of contingent consideration; non-GAAP net income as net income excluding the after-tax impact of non-cash equity-based compensation, the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions; and free cash flow as cash provided by/(used in) operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures and content acquisition. These figures have not been calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow should not be construed as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.
Shutterstock’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow as operating performance measures (in conjunction with GAAP financial measures), as an integral part of its reporting and planning processes 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 and bonuses; (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.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are useful to investors to provide them with disclosures of Shutterstock’s operating results on the same basis as that used by management. Additionally, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income 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. Additionally, management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the comparability for investors in assessing Shutterstock’s financial reporting. Management believes that 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 property and equipment 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.
A reconciliation of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow, and the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is presented under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP” immediately following the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP
(In thousands, except per share information)
(Unaudited)
The following information is not a financial measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, it should not be construed as an alternative to any other measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities as there may be significant factors or trends that it fails to address. We present this financial information because we believe that it is helpful to some investors as one measure of our operations. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare our results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we also refer to adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and free cash flow. Shutterstock
defines adjusted EBITDA as income from operations adjusted for depreciation, amortization, disposals, non-cash equity-based compensation and accelerated
changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions; non-GAAP net income as net income excluding the after tax impact of non-cash equity-
based compensation, the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions; and
free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures and content acquisition. These figures are non-GAAP financial measures
and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and should not be considered as a
substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
We use Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow as operating performance measures (in conjunction with GAAP financial measures), as an
integral part of its reporting and planning processes and to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations, financial
performance and overall liquidity; (ii) facilitate our internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of our business operations; (iii) facilitate our
external comparisons of the results of our 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 our management team and, together with other operational objectives, as a measure in
evaluating employee compensation and bonuses; (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.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are useful to investors to provide them with disclosures of our operating results on the same basis
as that used by management. Additionally, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income 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 our underlying operating performance. Additionally, we believe that providing these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the comparability for
investors in assessing our financial reporting. We believe that 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 property and equipment to support the Company's ongoing business
operations, and provides them with the same measures that we use as the basis for making resource allocation decisions.
Please refer to the reconciliation of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow, and the most comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, presented under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP”
immediately following the Consolidated Balance Sheets in today’s earnings release, which is available in the Investor Relations section of our website.
