In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Basis for Qualified Opinion As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 1, First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, as they do not include comparative figures or required transition disclosures, which constitute departures from International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion. Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we: ● Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. ● Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. ● Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. ● Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. ● Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

EXHIBIT 99.3
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”).

In addition, on June 23, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Giphy, Inc. (“Giphy”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement entered into with Meta Platforms, Inc. (“Meta”) on May 22, 2023, to acquire all the outstanding shares of Giphy (the “Giphy Acquisition”). The consideration paid by the Company was $53 million in net cash, in addition to cash acquired and other working capital adjustments. The Giphy Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under the provisions of 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 and the Giphy Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared as if the Envato Acquisition had occurred on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were prepared as if the Envato Acquisition and Giphy Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023. For all periods after June 23, 2023, Giphy’s results were included in the Shutterstock consolidated financial statements.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is derived from the historical financial statements of Shutterstock, Envato and Giphy, and should be read in conjunction with:

•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/A filed with the SEC on October 3, 2024 to which this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being filed as an exhibit.

Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable. Such adjustments are estimates and actual experience may differ from expectations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are subject to Envato Acquisition closing adjustments that have not yet been finalized.

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”).

In addition, on June 23, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Giphy, Inc. (“Giphy”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement entered into with Meta Platforms, Inc. (“Meta”) on May 22, 2023, to acquire all the outstanding shares of Giphy (the “Giphy Acquisition”). The consideration paid by the Company was $53 million in net cash, in addition to cash acquired and other working capital adjustments. The Giphy Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under the provisions of 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 and the Giphy Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared as if the Envato Acquisition had occurred on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were prepared as if the Envato Acquisition and Giphy Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023. For all periods after June 23, 2023, Giphy’s results were included in the Shutterstock consolidated financial statements.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is derived from the historical financial statements of Shutterstock, Envato and Giphy, 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 26, 2024, and incorporated herein by reference.

•Shutterstock, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 2, 2024, and incorporated herein by reference.
•Envato’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, that are included as Exhibit 99.1 in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on October 3, 2024 to which this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being filed as an exhibit.

•Envato's statement of profit or loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2024 derived from the books and records of Envato.

•Giphy’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023, which are included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on August 31, 2023.

•Giphy's statement of operations for the period from April 1, 2023 through June 23, 2023 derived from the books and records of Giphy.
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 and Giphy Acquisition occurred on the dates 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 and Giphy Acquisition for the periods 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.
The pro forma adjustments are based on certain estimates and assumptions, including the Envato preliminary purchase price allocation. The actual adjustments and the allocation of the final purchase price will depend on several factors, including additional financial information and completion of the determination of fair value of assets and liabilities of Envato as of the purchase date. Therefore, the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible that the differences may be material.

The combination is subject to Envato Acquisition closing adjustments that have not yet been finalized. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as required by SEC rules. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final combination accounting may be material.
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.

Note 2 – Preliminary Fair Value Allocation of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

For purposes of these pro forma financial statements, the estimated purchase price is as follows (in thousands):
Purchase Price
Preliminary purchase consideration250,213 
Acquired cash(101,291)
Preliminary purchase consideration, net of acquired cash148,922 

The allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows, as though the transaction closed on March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:As of March 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents$101,291 
Accounts receivable, net3,484

Other non-current liabilities870 
Total liabilities assumed174,572 
Net assets acquired49,024 
Preliminary purchase consideration250,213 
Preliminary Goodwill201,189 

The excess of preliminary purchase consideration over total net assets was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from the transaction is primarily attributable to expected operational synergies and is not deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed on March 31, 2024 and have been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Envato Acquisition. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation may be subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. The final adjustments could be materially different from those reflected herein. The identifiable intangible assets, which include trademark, software, customer relationships have weighted average useful lives of approximately 10 years, 5 years and 6 years, respectively. The fair value of the trademark and software was determined using the relief-from-royalty method, and the fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the excess of earnings method. The identifiable intangible assets of this acquisition are amortized on a straight-line basis.

Note 3 – Giphy Acquisition Pro Forma Adjustments

On June 23, 2023, the Company completed the Giphy Acquisition. In connection with the closing of the Giphy Acquisition, the Company and Meta entered into a transitional services agreement (the “TSA”) pursuant to which Meta is responsible for certain costs related to retention of Giphy employees, including (i) recurring salary, bonus, and benefits through August 2024, which would be $35.6 million if all employees are retained through August 2024, and (ii) nonrecurring items, totaling $87.9 million, comprised of one-time employment inducement bonuses and the cash value of unvested Meta equity awards (the “Giphy Retention Compensation”).

The results of Giphy are included in the actual consolidated results of the Company from June 23, 2023. Adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 to include the results of Giphy from January 1, 2023 to June 23, 2023, such that the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 also reflects the result of Giphy as if the Company had acquired Giphy on January 1, 2023.
