NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Getty Images Holdings, Inc. (“Getty Images”) (NYSE: GETY), a preeminent global visual content creator and marketplace, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“Getty Images delivered solid third quarter results, including positive operating performance, purchasing customer growth, and annual subscription growth,” said Craig Peters, Chief Executive Officer of Getty Images. “Despite the challenging macro environment, our customers are deriving more value from us as our paid downloads continue to increase. From what we see, we believe we are taking market share based on the quality of our content offering.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Summary:

• Revenue of $230.5 million, down 2.8% year over year. On a currency neutral basis, revenues increased 2.8%.
  • Creative revenue of $145.2 million, down 2.1% year over year and up 3.2% on a currency neutral basis.
  • Editorial revenue of $81.8 million, down 3.0% year over year and up 3.1% on a currency neutral basis.
  • Annual Subscription Revenue as a percentage of total revenue grew to 49.4% up from 47.1% as of Q3 2021 and up from 46.1% at the end of 2021.
• Net Loss of $149.4 million compared to Net Income of $15.3 million in Q3 2021. This result included a $161.3 million net loss on fair value adjustment for the warrant liabilities, which is nondeductible for tax purposes and will also impact our effective tax rate in 2022.
• Adjusted EBITDA* of $77.7 million, down 4.8% year over year and up 2.2% on a currency neutral basis. Adjusted EBITDA Margin* for the quarter was 33.7%, down from 34.4% in Q3 2021, due primarily to the pressure from foreign exchange on revenue.
• Adjusted EBITDA less capex* was $62.0 million, down 11.7% and 5.4% on a currency neutral basis.
• Net cash provided by operating activities of $48.9 million, compared to $42.6 million in the prior year period.
• Free cash flow* of $33.2 million, compared to $31.2 million in the prior year period.
• Ending cash balance on September 30, 2022, was $71.9 million, a decrease of $71.4 million from September 30, 2021, and $114.4 million from the ending balance on December 31, 2021. This decrease was driven in large part by the voluntary Q3 $300.0 million paydown of the USD Term Loan. We have $80.0 million available through our Revolver, for total liquidity of $151.9 million.
• Our total debt was $1.399 billion, which included $300.0 million in senior notes as well as a term loan balance of $1.099 billion, consisting of $690.0 million in USD and $409.3 million in USD equivalent of Euros, converted using exchange rates as of September 30, 2022.

^{1 Beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2022, the company made two changes to its reporting that has some impact on reported KPI’s. First, activity for LATAM, Turkey and Israel which was previously excluded from these metrics is now included due to completion of a system migration. Additionally, starting this quarter, the method by which we aggregate our customer accounts was updated to better align with our internal sales CRM system. We have not restated historical periods given the immaterial impact to the KPI’s, except for LTM total active annual subscribers and LTM annual subscriber revenue retention rate for which the legacy reporting format is detailed in noted 3 and 5 below.  
2 The count of total customers who made a purchase within the reporting period based on billed revenue.
3 The count of customers who were on an annual subscription product during the reporting period.​ Absent the reporting changes noted in Note 1, LTM total active annual subscribers would have been 100,000, up 43% year on year.
4 A count of the number of paid downloads by our customers in the reporting period. Excludes downloads from Editorial Subscriptions, Editorial feeds and certain API structured deals, including bulk unlimited deals. Excludes downloads starting in LTM Q3’22 tied to a two-year deal signed with Amazon in July 2022, as the magnitude of the potential download volume over the deal term could result in significant fluctuations in this metric without corresponding impact to revenue in the same period.
5 This calculates retention of total revenue for customers on an annual subscription product, comparing the customer’s total billed revenue (inclusive of both annual subscription and non-annual subscription products) in the LTM period to the prior LTM period. Absent the reporting changes noted in Note 1 above, LTM annual subscriber retention rate would have been 101.0%.                                                                                          ​
​6 A count of the total images and videos in our content library as of the reporting date.​
7 A measure of the percentage of total paid customer downloaders who are video downloaders. The underlying calculation of this metric was changed vs. previously reported metrics.  This change was made to exclude the impact of downloader activity from ​
our free trial subscriptions which are skewed entirely to stills-only content.}

Third Quarter 2022 Business Highlights:

• Announced exclusive, multi-year global partnership with BBC Studios to represent their iconic and world-class quality footage.
• Announced as Official House Photography Partner to the British Academy Film Awards.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In order to assist investors in understanding the core operating results that our management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning, we present the following non-GAAP measures: (1) Adjusted EBITDA, (2) Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (3) Adjusted EBITDA less capex and (4) Free Cash Flow. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes that these measures are relevant and provide useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in our industry to provide a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating performance, and in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity results. We also evaluate our revenue on an as reported (U.S. GAAP) and currency neutral basis. We believe presenting currency neutral information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our comparable results, consistent with how we evaluate our performance internally.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided below.

The Company does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible; and because not all of the information, such as foreign currency impacts necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is available to the Company without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures that it believes will be achieved, however it cannot accurately predict all of the components of the adjusted calculations and the U.S. GAAP measures may be materially different than the non-GAAP measures.
