Shutterstock Inc Financials
Shutterstock Inc (SSTK) reported $901.3M in revenue over the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, down 10.8% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Revenue expansion is being absorbed unevenly: margin compression and acquisition-heavy assets reshaped returns before cash conversion rebounded.
The FY2024 profit squeeze was not merely an accounting-margin issue: operating cash flow fell to$32.6M while net margin dropped to3.8% , indicating less cash emerged from each sales dollar as costs and financing burden rose. In FY2025, free cash flow rebounded to$123.8M even though the current ratio remained 0.5x, so improved cash generation did not remove near-term balance-sheet tightness.
