SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Revenue
Second quarter revenue of $206.9 million increased $17.0 million or 9% as compared to the second quarter of 2021. Revenue generated through our E-commerce sales channel increased 6% as compared to the second quarter of 2021, to $127.4 million, and represented 62% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2022. E-commerce revenue growth was primarily driven by revenue generated from our acquisitions of PicMonkey and Pond5. Revenue from our Enterprise sales channel increased 15% as compared to the second quarter of 2021, to $79.5 million, and represented 38% of second quarter revenue in 2022. Enterprise revenue growth was driven by our multi-asset product offerings and continued momentum in Shutterstock Studios and Shutterstock Editorial. Enterprise revenue growth also benefited from our acquisitions of Pond5 and Splash News.
On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 13% in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2021. On a constant currency basis, E-commerce and Enterprise revenues increased by 9% and 19%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to 2021.
Net income and net income per diluted share
Net income of $19.4 million decreased $10.0 million as compared to $29.5 million for the second quarter in 2021. Net income per diluted share was $0.53, as compared to $0.79 for the same period in 2021. This decrease was due primarily to increases in operating expenses partially offset by revenue growth in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021. The increase in operating expenses was driven by higher acquisition-related amortization expense reported in cost of revenues, higher marketing expenses and transaction costs incurred to complete our second quarter 2022 acquisitions.
Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.83 as compared to $1.02 for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $0.19 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA of $48.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 decreased by $4.1 million, or 8%, as compared to the second quarter of 2021, due primarily to higher operating expenses, partially offset by increased revenue. The adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 23.7% from 27.9% in the second quarter of 2021.
SECOND QUARTER LIQUIDITY
Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $174.1 million to $84.0 million at June 30, 2022, as compared with $258.1 million as of March 31, 2022. This decrease was driven by $227.8 million used in investing activities, partially offset by $36.9 million of net cash provided by our operating activities and $20.2 million provided by financing activities.
Net cash provided by our operating activities was driven by our operating income, in addition to changes in the timing of payments pertaining to operating expenses. Cash used in investing activities primarily consists of $212.1 million related to our acquisitions of Pond5 and Splash News and $15.3 million related to capital expenditures and content acquisition. Cash provided by financing activities consists primarily of a $50.0 million drawdown from our credit facility, partially offset by $18.6 million paid for the repurchase of common stock under our share repurchase program, $8.7 million related to the payment of the quarterly cash dividend and $2.5 million paid in settlement of tax withholding obligations related to employee stock-based compensation awards.
Free cash flow was $21.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $40.1 million from the second quarter of 2021. This change was primarily driven by lower cash flows from operating activities.
QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.24 per common share, or $8.7 million.
On July 18, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.24 per share of outstanding common stock, payable on September 15, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2022.

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), billings and free cash flow.
Shutterstock defines adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, non-cash equity-based compensation, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, interest income and expense and income taxes; 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, the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the estimated tax impact of such adjustments; adjusted net income per diluted share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted shares; revenue growth (including by distribution channel) 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 in the comparison; billings as revenue adjusted for the change in deferred revenue, excluding deferred revenue acquired through business combinations; and free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for capital expenditures, and content acquisition. 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 share, revenue growth (including by distribution channel) on a constant currency basis (expressed as a percentage), billings and 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 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 distribution channel) 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 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 share, revenue growth (including by distribution channel) on a constant currency basis (expressed as a percentage), billings and 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 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.
Reconciliations of the differences between 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), billings, free cash flow, and the most comparable financial measures 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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP
(In thousands, except per share information)
(unaudited)
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), billings and free cash flow are not financial measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as alternatives to any other measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned 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.
(2)Statutory tax rates are used to calculate the tax effect of the adjustments.
(3)Of these amounts, $6.6 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are included within cost of revenue in the Statements of Operations. The remainder of acquisition-related amortization expense is included in general and administrative expense in the Statements of Operations.
