Getty Images Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results


NEW YORK, March 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Getty Images Holdings, Inc. (“Getty Images”) (NYSE: GETY), a preeminent global visual content creator and marketplace, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Craig Peters, Chief Executive Officer of Getty Images said, “Today marks Getty Images’ 28th anniversary. Over those 28 years, Getty Images has focused on producing and providing high quality, exclusive and authentic content that is born from our unique expertise, creativity and partnerships. This continues to be the heart of our business and focus. While we continue to see macroeconomic headwinds and foreign exchange impacts, Getty Images produced solid operational performance over 2022 and the fourth quarter. In spite of FX pressures, which impacted our reported revenue, we saw organic currency neutral revenue growth in each quarter underpinned by strong subscription growth, subscription renewal rates, new customer growth and increased consumption of our content.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Summary:

  • Revenue of $231.5 million, down 3.2% year over year. On a currency neutral basis, revenues increased 3.5%.
  • Net Loss of $23.3 million compared to Net Income of $41.5 million in Q4 2021. The Q4 2022 results included a $37.7 million unrealized loss related to the change in fair value of the Company’s euro term loan.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* of $74.5 million, down 9.1% year over year due primarily to the impact of foreign exchange on revenue and incremental expenses related to operating as a public company. On a currency neutral basis, adjusted EBITDA was down 0.3% Adjusted EBITDA Margin* for the quarter was 32.2%, compared to 34.3% in Q4 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA less capex* was $61.2 million, down 11.7% year over year and 1.8% on a currency neutral basis.

Full Year 2022 Financial Summary:

  • Revenue of $926.2 million, up 0.8% year over year. On a currency neutral basis, revenue increased 5.7%.
  • Net Loss of $77.6 million compared to Net Income of $117.4 million in 2021. The 2022 results include a $160.7 million net loss on fair value adjustment for warrant liabilities, which was nondeductible for tax purposes and impacted the tax rate in 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* of $303.9 million, down 1.7% year over year and up 4.8% on a currency neutral basis. Adjusted EBITDA Margin* for the year was 32.8%, compared to 33.7% in 2021, due primarily to the impact of the stronger US dollar relative to foreign currencies and an incremental SG&A expense related to IT investments, public company costs, and marketing.
  • Adjusted EBITDA less capex* was $244.6 million, down 5.9% year over year and up 0.9% on a currency neutral basis.

Liquidity and Balance Sheet:

  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $163.1 million in 2022, compared to $188.9 million in 2021.
  • Free cash flow* of $103.8 million in 2022, compared to $139.6 million in the prior year.
  • Ending cash balance on December 31, 2022, was $97.9 million, a decrease of $88.4 million from December 31, 2021. This decrease reflects $310.4 million of debt paydowns of the USD Term Loan, including a $2.6 million repayment in the fourth quarter. We have $80.0 million available through our Revolver, for total available liquidity of $177.9 million.
  • Our total debt was $1.434 billion, which included $300.0 million in senior notes as well as a term loan balance of $1.134 billion, consisting of $687.4 million in USD and $447.0 million in USD equivalent of Euros, converted using exchange rates as of December 31, 2022.

LTM - Last twelve months
Annual subscription - includes all products with a duration of 12 months or longer

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, 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 116 thousand, up 56% 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 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 99.2%.
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.
8 The Company launched Unsplash+ during the three months ended December 31, 2022. This new Unsplash subscription will now be included within these KPI’s from the launch date forward. The impact is not yet material.

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.
