FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Revenue

First quarter revenue of $97.5 million increased $24.7 million or 34% as compared to the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to a 17% increase in revenue per download from growth in both on-demand offerings and enterprise sales, as well as from a 12% increase in the number of paid downloads, mainly due to new customers.  First quarter results also included contributions from newly acquired businesses PremiumBeat and Rex Features.  Excluding contributions from newly acquired businesses and the impact of foreign currency, total Company revenue growth was approximately 30% in the first quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA of $18.7 million increased $4.6 million or 33% as compared to the first quarter of 2014 as the 34% revenue growth was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses primarily from higher royalty costs associated with the increase in paid downloads.  Additionally, the first quarter of 2015 included higher personnel and marketing expenses to support growth, as well as operating costs associated with newly acquired businesses.  Excluding the contributions from newly acquired businesses and the impact of foreign currency, Adjusted EBITDA growth was approximately 45% in the first quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for other (expense)/income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, disposals and non-cash equity-based compensation.

Net Income

Net income available to common stockholders for the first quarter of $3.2 million ($0.09 per diluted share) decreased as compared to $4.9 million ($0.14 per diluted share) in the first quarter a year ago as the improved operating performance in the first quarter of 2015 was more than offset by an increase in non-

cash equity-based compensation expense, an unrealized non-cash loss associated with foreign currency movements and amortization of acquisition related intangible assets.

Non-GAAP net income, which excludes 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, was $9.0 million ($0.25 per diluted share) for the first quarter, an increase of 25% as compared to $7.2 million ($0.20 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2014.

Cash

Free cash flow was $18.8 million for the first quarter, an increase of $14.0 million from the first quarter of 2014 driven by lower capital expenditures and improved operating performance.  Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures and content acquisition.

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short term investments totaled $245.5 million at March 31, 2015 as compared to $288.3 million as of December 31, 2014.  The Company generated $21.8 million of cash from operations in the first quarter of 2015 which was more than offset by cash paid for acquisitions of approximately $65 million.

OTHER ITEMS

On January 19, 2015, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Rex Features, the largest independently owned photographic press agency in Europe, for approximately $33 million.

On January 22, 2015, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of PremiumBeat, a leading provider of exclusive, high-quality music and sound effects, for approximately $32 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Shutterstock considers adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow to be important financial indicators of the Company’s operational strength and the performance of its business. Shutterstock defines adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for other (expense)/income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, disposals and non-cash equity-based compensation; adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue; 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/(used in) 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. In addition, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, 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.

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.
