marketplace, today reported financial results for the second

set us apart. We are leading in responsible AI, both through our

trained, commercially safe generative AI to our customers. I am
excited to build on this momentum in the second half of 2024.”

that together with healthy underlying key metrics provides a strong
foundation for the second half of 2024,” said Jenn Leyden, Chief
Financial Officer. “As we look ahead, we will remain fiscally
conservative, continue to invest in the business, and are confident
in our ability to return to full-year topline growth in 2024.”

1 The count of total customers who made a
purchase within the reporting period based on billed revenue. 2 The
count of customers who were on an annual subscription product
during the reporting period. 3 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.4 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. 5 A count of the total images and videos in our
content library as of the reporting date.6 A measure of the

Financial Outlook for Full Year 2024
The following tables summarize Getty Images’
updated fiscal year 2024 guidance:
|
Updated 2024 Guidance |
Prior 2024 Guidance |
Revenue |
$924 million to $943 million |
$928 million to $947 million |
Revenue YoY |
0.9% to 2.9% |
1.3% to 3.3% |
Revenue YoY, Currency Neutral |
1.0% to 3.0% |
1.0% to 3.0% |
Adjusted EBITDA |

Adjusted EBITDA YoY |
(3.8)% to (2.5)% |
~(1.2)% |
Adjusted EBITDA YoY, Currency Neutral |
(3.6)% to (2.3)% |
~(1.5)% |
Guidance has been updated to reflect the impact
of foreign currency exchange rates on both Revenue and Adjusted
EBITDA. The update also reflects incremental integration related
expenses that are more one time in nature, and higher than
estimated employee health insurance costs. Despite these unplanned
impacts, the guidance reflects strong operating efficiency with
Adjusted EBITDA margins expected to be above 31%.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn
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.
