Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding guidance, industry prospects, future business, future results of operations or financial condition, future dividends, future stock performance, our ability to consummate acquisitions and integrate the businesses we have acquired or may acquire into our existing operations, new or planned features, products or services, management strategies and our competitive position.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The interim Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023, and the Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income and Stockholders’ Equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2023, and its consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 or for any other future annual or interim period.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 14, 2023. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain immaterial changes in presentation have been made to conform the prior period presentation to current period reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the volume of expected unused licenses for our subscription-based products, the assessment of recoverability of property and equipment, the fair value of acquired goodwill and intangible assets, the amount of non-cash equity-based compensation, the assessment of recoverability of deferred tax assets, the measurement of income tax and contingent non-income tax liabilities and the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used to calculate the lease liability.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s accounts receivable consists of customer obligations due under normal trade terms, carried at their face value less an allowance for doubtful accounts, if required. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses based on an evaluation of (i) the aging of its accounts receivable considering historical receivables loss rates, (ii) on a customer-by-customer basis, where appropriate, and (iii) the economic environments in which the Company operates.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $1.4 million. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $6.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is included as a reduction of accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has certain customer arrangements that contain financing elements. Interest income earned from these financing receivables is recorded on the effective interest method and is included within interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $15.1 million of financing receivables were included in accounts receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In addition, as of September 30, 2023, one customer accounted for approximately 14% of the accounts receivable balance and as of December 31, 2022, one customer accounted for 22% of the accounts receivable balance.

Chargeback and Sales Refund Allowance

The Company establishes a chargeback allowance and sales refund reserve allowance based on factors surrounding historical credit card chargeback trends, historical sales refund trends and other information. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s combined allowance for chargebacks and sales refunds was $0.4 million, which was included as a component of other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue Recognition

The majority of the Company’s revenue is earned from the license of content. Content licenses are generally purchased on a monthly or annual basis, whereby a customer pays for a predetermined quantity of content that may be downloaded over a specific period of time, or, on a transactional basis, whereby a customer pays for individual content licenses at the time of download. The Company also generates revenue from tools made available through the Company’s platform.

For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price is determined based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately, or if not observable through past transactions, is estimated taking into account available information including internally approved pricing guidelines and pricing information of comparable products.

The Company recognizes revenue upon the satisfaction of performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue on both its subscription-based and transaction-based products when content is downloaded by a customer, at which time the license is provided. In addition, the Company estimates expected unused licenses for subscription-based products and recognizes the revenue associated with the unused licenses as digital content is downloaded and licenses are obtained for such content by the customer during the subscription period. The estimate of unused licenses is based on historical download activity and future changes in the estimate could impact the timing of revenue recognition of the Company’s subscription products. For revenue associated with tools available through the Company’s platform, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the

subscription period. The Company expenses contract acquisition costs as incurred, to the extent that the amortization period would otherwise be one year or less.

Collectability is probable at the time the electronic order or contract is entered. A significant portion of the Company’s customers purchase products by making electronic payments with a credit card at the time of the transaction. Customer payments received in advance of revenue recognition are contract liabilities and are recorded as deferred revenue. Customers that do not pay in advance are invoiced and are required to make payments under standard credit terms. Collectability for customers who pay on credit terms allowing for payment beyond the date at which service commences, is based on a credit evaluation for certain new customers and transaction history with existing customers.

The Company recognizes revenue gross of contributor royalties because the Company is the principal in the transaction as it is the party responsible for the performance obligation and it controls the product or service before transferring it to the customer. The Company also licenses content to customers through third-party resellers. Third-party resellers sell the Company’s products directly to customers as the principal in those transactions. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue net of costs paid to resellers.

(2) Fair Value Measurements and Long-term Investments

Fair Value Measurements

The Company had no assets or liabilities requiring fair value hierarchy disclosures as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022, except as noted below.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Debt consists of principal amounts outstanding under our credit facility, which approximates fair value as underlying interest rates are reset regularly based on current market rates and is classified as Level 2. The Company’s non-financial assets, which include long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if the Company is required to evaluate a non-financial asset for impairment, whether due to certain triggering events or because annual impairment testing is required, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial asset be recorded at fair value.

Long-term Investments

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s long-term investments were in equity securities with no readily determinable fair value, totaled $20.0 million, and were reported within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses the measurement alternative for these equity investments and their carrying value is reported at cost, adjusted for impairments or any observable price changes in ordinary transactions with identical or similar investments.

On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-term investments for impairment, which includes an assessment of revenue growth, earnings performance, working capital and general market conditions. As of September 30, 2023, no adjustments to the carrying values of the Company’s long-term investments were identified as a result of this assessment. Changes in performance negatively impacting operating results and cash flows of these investments could result in the Company recording an impairment charge in future periods.

(3) Acquisitions

Giphy, Inc.

On May 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Meta Platforms, Inc. (“Meta”) dated May 22, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”). On June 23, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Giphy, Inc. (“Giphy”) from Meta. The consideration paid by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was $53 million in net cash, in addition to cash acquired, assumed debt and other working capital adjustments. The consideration was paid with existing cash on hand. Giphy is a New York-based company that operates a collection of GIFs and stickers that supplies casual conversational content. The Company believes its acquisition of Giphy extends Shutterstock’s audience touchpoints beyond primarily professional marketing and advertising use cases and expands into casual conversations.

In January 2023, the United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority (the “CMA”) issued its final order requiring Meta to divest its ownership of Giphy, which Meta acquired in 2020. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, whose terms were preapproved by the CMA, the Company and Meta entered into a transitional services agreement (the “TSA”) pursuant to which Meta is responsible for certain costs related to retention of Giphy employees, including (i) recurring salary, bonus, and benefits through August 2024, which would be $35.6 million if all employees are retained through August 2024, and (ii) nonrecurring items, totaling $87.9 million, comprised of one-time employment inducement bonuses and the cash value of unvested Meta equity awards (the “Giphy Retention Compensation”).

The Giphy Retention Compensation will be paid to the individuals for being employees of the Company subsequent to the completion of the acquisition. Accordingly, it was determined that the payments by the Company are for future service requirements and will be reflected as operating expenses, less any amounts earned by the employees prior to the acquisition, in the Company’s Statements of Operations as incurred. The Giphy Retention Compensation is reflected as a reduction of the purchase price and has been funded into an escrow account.

The Giphy purchase price was calculated as follows:


	Purchase Price
Purchase price	$	53,000
Cash acquired and other working capital adjustments	4,750
Cash paid on closing	$	57,750

Fair value of Giphy Retention Compensation contingent consideration1	(98,723)
Fair value of consideration attributable to pre-combination service2	34,972

Net purchase price	$	(6,001)

1 - This amount consists of $123.5 million of Giphy Retention Compensation, adjusted for $18.9 million of income tax obligations associated with the receipt of the Giphy Retention Compensation and $5.9 million for the time value of money.

2 - Relates to the cash value of replaced unvested Meta equity awards attributable to pre-combination services.

Upon closing of the acquisition, the Company also entered into an agreement with Meta whereby the Company will provide Meta with Giphy content through API services for a period of two years. The Company allocated and deferred $30 million of the business combination proceeds to this agreement, which will be recognized as revenue as services are provided.

The identifiable intangible assets, which include developed technology and the trade name have weighted average useful lives of approximately 4.0 years and 15.0 years, respectively. The fair value of the developed technology was determined using the cost to recreate method, and the fair value of the trade name was determined using the relief-from-royalty method.

The Giphy transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of the acquired business has been included in the Company’s results of operations from the acquisition date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenue of $5.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, was included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the Company’s acquisition of Giphy. The fair value of consideration transferred in this business combination has been allocated to the intangible and tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, with the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the net consideration received recorded as a bargain purchase gain. The identifiable intangible assets of these acquisitions are being amortized on a straight-line basis.

1 - During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company revised its preliminary allocation of the Giphy purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by $9.9 million associated with additional information analyzed related to the deferred income tax balances. The measurement and allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and will be finalized within the allowable measurement period once the Company finalizes its assessment of fair value of intangible assets, income tax balances and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The Company recognized a non-taxable bargain purchase gain of $51.8 million, representing the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired in addition to the net consideration to be received from Meta. The bargain purchase gain is the result of the CMA’s regulatory order requiring Meta’s divestiture of Giphy and the Giphy Retention Compensation payments. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $3.0 million of transaction costs, which is included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of September 30, 2023, Shutterstock’s receivable of $109.4 million, is against an escrow fully funded by Meta. $79.8 million and $29.6 million are included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The identifiable intangible asset, developed technology, has a useful life of approximately 4 years. The goodwill arising from the transaction is primarily attributable to expected operational synergies and is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The Pond5 and Splash News transactions were accounted for using the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of the acquired businesses have been included in the Company’s results of operations from the respective acquisition dates. The fair value of consideration transferred in these business combinations has been allocated to the intangible and tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated amount recorded as goodwill. The identifiable intangible assets of these acquisitions are being amortized on a straight-line basis. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using a variation of the income approach known as the multiple-period excess earnings method. The fair value of the trade name was determined using the relief-from-royalty method, and the fair value of the developed technology was determined using the relief-from-royalty and the cost to recreate methods.

In June 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”), authorizing the Company to purchase up to $100 million of its common stock.

The Company expects to fund future repurchases, if any, through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations and future financing transactions, if appropriate. Accordingly, the share repurchase program is subject to the Company having available cash to fund repurchases. Under the share repurchase program, management is authorized to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at prevailing prices as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 351,000 and 431,000 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $42.75 and $44.06, respectively, under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all equity-based compensation awards, including employee Restricted Stock Units and Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs” and, collectively with Restricted Stock Units, “RSUs”) and stock options, based on the fair value of each award on the grant date. Awards granted prior to June 1, 2022 were granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2012 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”).

(9) Revenue

The Company distributes its products through two primary channels:

E-commerce: The majority of the Company’s customers license content directly through the Company’s self-service web properties. E-commerce customers have the flexibility to purchase subscription-based plans that are paid on a monthly or annual basis. Customer are also able to license content on a transactional basis. These customers generally license content under the Company’s standard or enhanced licenses, with additional licensing options available to meet customers’ individual needs. E-commerce customers typically pay the full amount of the purchase price in advance or at the time of license, generally with a credit card.

Enterprise: The Company also has a base of customers with unique content, licensing and workflow needs. These customers benefit from communication with dedicated sales professionals, service and research teams which provide a number of tailored enhancements to their creative workflows including non-standard licensing rights, multi-seat access, ability to pay on credit terms, multi-brand licensing packages, increased indemnification protection and content licensed for use-cases outside of those available on the e-commerce platform.

The Company’s revenues by distribution channel for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
E-commerce	$	106,037	$	124,594	$	337,694	$	379,052
Enterprise	127,211		79,502		319,674		231,048

Total Revenue	$	233,248	$	204,096	$	657,368	$	610,100

Deferred revenue reported on the balance sheet represents unfulfilled performance obligations for which the Company has either received payment or has outstanding receivables. The September 30, 2023 deferred revenue balance will be earned as content is downloaded or upon the expiration of subscription-based products, and nearly all is expected to be earned within the next twelve months. $159.6 million of total revenue recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was reflected in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022. In addition, as of September 30, 2023, the Company has approximately $58.4 million of contracted but unsatisfied performance obligations relating primarily to our computer vision offering, which are not included as a component of deferred revenue and that the Company expects to recognize over a five year period.

(11) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates yielded a net benefit of 2.9% and net expense of 15.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a net expense of 7.6% and 16.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the net effect of discrete items decreased the effective tax rate by 14.9% and 8.9%, respectively. The discrete items for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily relate to the effect of the U.S. Research and Development (“R&D”) tax credit claimed on the Company’s 2022 tax return, which was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2023. The discrete items for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily relate to the non-taxable bargain purchase gain associated with the acquisition of Giphy and the effect of the U.S. Research and Development (“R&D”) tax credit claimed on the Company’s 2022 tax return, which was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2023. Excluding discrete items, the Company’s effective tax rate would have been 12.0% and 16.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the net effect of discrete items decreased the effective tax rate by 3.3% and 2.5%, respectively. The discrete items for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily relate to the effect of the U.S. Research and Development (“R&D”) tax credit claimed on the Company’s 2021 tax return, which was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2022. The discrete items for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily relate to windfall tax benefits associated with equity-based compensation. Excluding discrete items, the Company’s effective tax rate would have been 18.4% and 18.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

The Company has computed the provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate excluding a loss jurisdiction with no tax benefit and the application of discrete items, if any, in the applicable period.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, uncertain tax positions recorded by the Company were not significant. To the extent the remaining uncertain tax positions are ultimately recognized, the Company’s effective tax rate may be impacted in future periods.

The Company recognizes interest expense and tax penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s accrual for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company paid net cash taxes of $16.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively.

(14) Commitments and Contingencies

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had total non-lease obligations in the amount of approximately $76.0 million, which consisted primarily of minimum royalty guarantees and unconditional purchase obligations related to contracts for infrastructure and other business services. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s non-lease obligations for the remainder of 2023 and for the years ending December 31, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 were approximately $25.2 million, $36.2 million, $11.7 million, $2.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may become party to litigation in the ordinary course of business, including direct claims brought by or against the Company with respect to intellectual property, contracts, employment and other matters, as well as claims brought against the Company’s customers for whom the Company has a contractual indemnification obligation. The Company assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes with respect to these matters and determines loss contingency assessments on a gross basis after assessing the probability of incurrence of a loss and whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In addition, the Company considers other relevant factors that could impact its ability to reasonably estimate a loss. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analyzing each matter. The Company reviews reserves, if any, at least quarterly and may change the amount of any such reserve in the future due to new developments or changes in strategy in handling these matters. Although the results of litigation and threats of litigation, investigations and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. The Company currently has no material active litigation matters and, accordingly, no material reserves related to litigation.

Indemnification and Employment Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it agrees to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the breach of the Company’s intellectual property warranties for damages to the customer directly attributable to the Company’s breach. The Company is not responsible for any damages, costs, or losses to the extent such damages, costs or losses arise as a result of any modifications made by the customer, or the context in which content is used. The standard maximum aggregate obligation and liability to any one customer for any single claim is generally limited to ten thousand dollars but can range to $250,000, with certain exceptions for which our indemnification obligation are uncapped. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had recorded no material liabilities related to indemnification obligations for loss contingencies. Additionally, the Company believes that it has the appropriate insurance coverage in place to adequately cover such indemnification obligations, if necessary.

Pursuant to the Company’s charter documents and separate written indemnification agreements, the Company has certain indemnification obligations to its executive officers, certain employees and directors, as well as certain former officers and directors.

The Company has also entered into employment agreements with its executive officers and certain employees. These agreements specify various employment-related matters, including annual compensation, performance incentive bonuses, and severance benefits in the event of termination or in the event of a change in control or otherwise, with or without cause.

Over 2.1 million active, paying customers contributed to our revenue for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2023. Our library has grown to more than 757 million images and more than 52 million footage clips as of September 30, 2023. This makes our collection of content one of the largest of its kind, and we delivered 117.6 million paid downloads to our customers across all of our brands during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Contributors of content typically earn a royalty each time their work is licensed. Contributors earn royalties based on our published earnings schedule that is based on annual licensing volume, which determines the contributor’s earnings tier and the purchase option under which the content was licensed. Royalties represent the largest component of our operating expenses, are reported within cost of revenue, tend to fluctuate proportionately with revenue and paid downloads and may be impacted by the mix of products sold.

Through our platform, we generate revenue by licensing content to our customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 51% of our revenue and the majority of our content licenses came from our E-commerce sales channel. The majority of our customers license content directly through our self-service web properties. E-commerce customers have the ability to purchase plans that are paid on either a monthly or annual basis or to license content on a transactional basis. E-commerce customers generally license content under our standard or enhanced licenses, with additional licensing options available to meet customers’ individual needs.

Customers in our Enterprise sales channel generally have unique content, licensing and workflow needs. These customers benefit from communication with our dedicated sales, service and research teams which provide a number of personalized enhancements to their creative workflows including non-standard licensing rights, multi-seat access, ability to pay on credit terms, multi-brand licensing packages, increased indemnification protection and content licensed for use-cases outside of those available on our e-commerce platform.

Our range of solutions, including the depth of our API platform integrations, appeals to a broad and diverse customer base and enables us to adapt and evolve with the needs of our more high touch clients to deliver capabilities that embed deep within their workflows. Our Enterprise sales channel provided approximately 49% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Acquisition of Giphy, Inc.

On May 22, 2023, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Meta Platforms, Inc. (“Meta”) dated May 22, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”). On June 23, 2023, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Giphy, Inc. (“Giphy”) from Meta. The consideration payable, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, was $53 million in net cash, in addition to cash acquired, assumed debt and other working capital adjustments. The consideration was paid with existing cash on hand. Giphy is a New York-based company that operates a collection of GIFs and stickers that supplies casual conversational content. The Company believes its acquisition of Giphy extends Shutterstock’s audience touchpoints beyond primarily professional marketing and advertising use cases and expands into casual conversations.

In January 2023, the United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority (the “CMA”) issued its final order requiring Meta to divest its ownership of Giphy, which Meta acquired in 2020. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, whose terms were preapproved by the CMA, Shutterstock and Meta entered into a transitional services agreement (the “TSA”) pursuant to which Meta is responsible for certain costs related to retention of Giphy employees, including (i) recurring salary, bonus, and benefits through August 2024, which would be $35.6 million if all employees are retained through August 2024, and (ii) nonrecurring items, totaling $87.9 million, comprised of one-time employment inducement bonuses and the cash value of unvested Meta equity awards (the “Giphy Retention Compensation”).

The Giphy Retention Compensation will be paid to the individuals for being employees of the Company subsequent to the completion of the acquisition. Accordingly, we determined that the payments are for future service requirements and will be reflected as operating expenses, less any amounts earned by the employees prior to the acquisition, in our Statements of Operations as incurred. The Giphy Retention Compensation is reflected as a reduction of the purchase price and has been funded into an escrow account.

Upon closing of the acquisition, the Company also entered into an agreement with Meta whereby the Company will provide Meta with Giphy content through API services for a period of two years.

Key Operating Metrics

In addition to key financial metrics, we regularly review a number of key operating metrics to evaluate our business, determine the allocation of resources and make decisions regarding business strategies. We believe that these metrics can be useful for understanding the underlying trends in our business.

Subscribers, subscriber revenue and average revenue per customer from acquisitions are included in these metrics beginning twelve months after the closing of the respective business combination. Accordingly, the metrics include Subscribers, Subscriber revenue, and Average revenue per customer from TurboSquid beginning February 2022, from PicMonkey beginning September 2022, and from Pond5 and Splash News beginning May 2023. These metrics exclude the respective counts and revenues from Giphy.

Subscribers

We define subscribers as those customers who purchase one or more of our monthly recurring products for a continuous period of at least three months, measured as of the end of the reporting period. We believe the number of subscribers is an important metric that provides insight into our monthly recurring business. We believe that an increase in our number of subscribers is an indicator of engagement in our platform and potential for future growth.

Subscriber Revenue

We define subscriber revenue as the revenue generated from subscribers during the period. We believe subscriber revenue, together with our number of subscribers, provide insight into the portion of our business driven by our monthly recurring products.

Average Revenue Per Customer

Average revenue per customer is calculated by dividing total revenue for the last twelve-month period by customers. We define customers as total active, paying customers that contributed to total revenue over the last twelve-month period. Changes in our average revenue per customer will be driven by changes in the mix of our subscription-based and transactional products as well as pricing in our transactional business.

Paid Downloads

We define paid downloads as the number of downloads that our customers make in a given period of our content. Paid downloads exclude content related to our Studios business, downloads of content that are offered to customers for no charge (including our free trials), and downloads associated with our computer vision offering. Measuring the number of paid downloads that our customers make in a given period is important because it is a measure of customer engagement on our platform and triggers the recognition of revenue and contributor royalties.

Revenue per Download

We define revenue per download as the amount of revenue recognized in a given period divided by the number of paid downloads in that period excluding revenue from our Studios business, revenue that is not derived from or associated with content licenses and revenue associated with our computer vision offering. This metric captures any changes in our pricing, including changes resulting from the impact of competitive pressures, as well as the mix of licensing options that our customers choose, some of which generate more revenue per download than others, and the impact that changes in foreign currency rates have on our pricing. Changes in revenue per download are primarily driven by the introduction of new product offerings, changes in product and sales channel mix and customer utilization of our products.

Content in our Collection

We define content in our collection as the total number of approved images (photographs, vectors and illustrations) and footage (in number of clips) in our library at the end of the period. We exclude content from this collection metric that is not uploaded directly to our site but is available for license by our customers through an application program interface, content from our Studios business and AI generated content. Prior to December 31, 2022, this metric only included approved images and footage clips in our library on shutterstock.com at the end of the period. We believe that our large selection of high-quality content enables us to attract and retain customers and drives our network effect.

1 Subscribers, Subscriber Revenue and Average Revenue Per Customer from acquisitions are included in these metrics beginning twelve months after the closing of the respective business combination. Accordingly, the metrics include Subscribers, Subscriber revenue, and Average revenue per customer from TurboSquid beginning February 2022, from PicMonkey beginning September 2022, and from Pond5 and Splash News beginning May 2023. These metrics exclude the respective counts and revenues from our acquisition of Giphy.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure or inclusion of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. We evaluate our significant estimates on an ongoing basis, including, but not limited to, estimates related to allowance for doubtful accounts, the volume of expected unused licenses used in revenue recognition for our subscription-based products, the fair value of acquired goodwill and intangible assets and income tax provisions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A description of our critical accounting policies that involve significant management judgments appears in our 2022 Form 10-K, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates.”

See Note 1 to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a full description of the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards on our financial statements. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to our critical accounting policies and estimates included in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

We distribute our content offerings through two primary channels:

E-commerce: The majority of our customers license content directly through our self-service web properties. E-commerce customers have the flexibility to purchase a subscription-based plan that is paid on a monthly or annual basis or to license content on a transactional basis. These customers generally license content under our standard or enhanced licenses, with additional licensing options available to meet customers’ individual needs. E-commerce customers typically pay the full amount of the purchase price in advance or at the time of license, generally with a credit card.

Enterprise: We also have a base of customers with unique content, licensing and workflow needs. These customers benefit from communication with our dedicated sales, service and research teams which provide a number of tailored enhancements to their creative workflows including non-standard licensing rights, multi-seat access, ability to pay on credit terms, multi-brand licensing packages, increased indemnification protection and content licensed for use-cases outside of those available on the e-commerce platform.

The Company’s revenues by distribution channel for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (in thousands):
