UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On July 22, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Envato Pty Ltd. (“Envato”) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into on May 1, 2024, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Envato (the "Envato Acquisition"). The aggregate consideration paid by the Company, after customary working capital and other adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, was $250 million.
The Envato acquisition was funded through an amended and restated credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”), which was entered into among the Company, as borrower, certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the lenders. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a five-year (i) senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $125 million and (ii) senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit subfacility and a swingline facility.
The Envato Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses and are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Envato Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, was prepared as if the Envato Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is derived from the historical financial statements of Shutterstock and Envato, and should be read in conjunction with:
•Shutterstock, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2025, and incorporated herein by reference.
•Envato’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, that are included as Exhibit 99.1 in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025 to which this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being filed as an exhibit.
•Envato’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, that are included as Exhibit 99.2 in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025 to which this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being filed as an exhibit.
•Envato's statement of profit or loss from July 1, 2024 to July 22, 2024, the date of consummation of the Envato Acquisition, derived from the books and records of Envato.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of future periods or the financial condition or results of operations that would have been realized had the entities been a single entity as of or for the periods presented.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Note 1 – Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
On July 22, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Envato Pty Ltd. (“Envato”) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into on May 1, 2024, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Envato (the "Envato Acquisition"). The aggregate consideration paid by the Company, after customary working capital and other adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, was $250 million.
The Envato acquisition was funded through an amended and restated credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”), which was entered into among the Company, as borrower, certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the lenders. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a five-year (i) senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $125 million and (ii) senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit subfacility and a swingline facility.
The Envato Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses and are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Envato Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, was prepared as if the Envato Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is derived from the historical financial statements of Shutterstock and Envato, and should be read in conjunction with:
•Shutterstock, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2025, and incorporated herein by reference.
•Envato’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, that are included as Exhibit 99.1 in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025 to which this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being filed as an exhibit.
•Envato’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, that are included as Exhibit 99.2 in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025 to which this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being filed as an exhibit.
•Envato's statement of profit or loss from July 1, 2024 to July 22, 2024, the date of consummation of the Envato Acquisition, derived from the books and records of Envato.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what Shutterstock’s results of operations would have been had the Envato Acquisition occurred on the date indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations of the combined company will be in future periods. The historical financial information has been adjusted to reflect transaction related adjustments that management believes are necessary to present fairly Shutterstock’s pro forma results of operations following the closing of the Envato Acquisition for the period indicated. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not reflect any benefits that may result from potential revenue enhancements, anticipated cost savings and expense efficiencies or other synergies that may be achieved from the transaction.
Envato's financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). There were no material adjustments required to convert these financial statements to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The pro forma adjustments include certain reclassifications to conform Envato’s historical accounting presentation to Shutterstock’s accounting presentation. Shutterstock’s management believes that its assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the transactions and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in thousands):

|
Goodwill |
167,572 |
|
1Envato’s cash includes $63.4 million for the funding of Envato obligations that were triggered upon the closing of the acquisition (the “Envato Seller Obligations”). These obligations are also reported as assumed liabilities within Other liabilities. The Envato Obligations would not have been incurred had the acquisition not closed, and are presented “on-the-line” because they are not reflected in either the acquirer’s or acquiree’s statement of operations.
The purchased assets included identifiable intangible assets, comprised of trademark, developed technology and customer relationships, which have weighted average useful lives of approximately 10 years, 5 years and 6 years, respectively. Fair values of the trademark and developed technology were determined using the relief-from-royalty method, and the fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the excess of earnings method. Determining the fair value requires management to use significant judgement and estimates, including revenue growth rates, the royalty rate and the discount rate, and the economic life related to developed technology and revenue growth rates, the royalty rate, and the discount rate related to the trademark, among others. The goodwill arising from the transaction is primarily attributable to expected operational synergies and is not deductible for income tax purposes.
Note 3 – Envato’s Statement of Operations Reconciliation for period from January 1, 2024 to July 22, 2024
For purposes of preparing Shutterstock (as adjusted), presented in the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, Envato's historical audited statement of profit and loss for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 was adjusted by deducting Envato's unaudited statement of profit and loss for the six months ended December 31, 2023, and adding the unaudited results for Envato from July 1, 2024 to July 22, 2024, the date of consummation of the Envato Acquisition.
