Shutterstock reported a sharp downturn for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Revenue fell 18% year over year to $199.2 million, with Content revenue down 12% to $178.1 million and Data, Distribution, and Services revenue down 47% to $21.0 million, mainly from weaker data deals and softer new customer acquisition.
The company swung to a net loss of $47.6 million from net income of $18.7 million a year earlier.

In 2025, global Editorial revenue was $32.7 million, including $10.6 million from U.K. customers.
Shutterstock, Inc. reported a weak first quarter of 2026, with revenue falling 18% year over year to $199.2 million.

Shutterstock also updated its pending merger with Getty Images.

The CMA’s statutory deadline for a final report is June 14, 2026, and Shutterstock reiterated its commitment to pursuing the merger.
