Getty Images Holdings, Inc. reported Q1 2026 revenue of $226.6M, up modestly from $224.1M a year earlier, as stronger editorial and sports coverage offset weaker creative and other revenue streams.

Operating income increased to $31.6M, and operating cash flow improved to $40.0M. The company ended the quarter with $96.6M in cash and $640.7M in restricted cash, largely tied to 10.500% Senior Secured Notes issued to finance the proposed merger-of-equals with Shutterstock. Total debt remained significant, with both secured and unsecured notes outstanding and an undrawn revolving credit facility at quarter-end.
Getty carried a litigation reserve of $208.4M and an insurance recovery receivable of $33.7M related to warrant holder lawsuits. After quarter-end it paid $110.9M to satisfy the Initial Warrant Litigation judgment, funded in part by a $120.0M revolver draw.
