Proprietary and confidential Over the Last 20 Years, Shutterstock Has Built a Durable Content Engine “As a serial entrepreneur and small business owner, finding quality content for my marketing needs was a limiting factor. There was no place to buy images in an easy and cost-effective way. There were a couple of stock agencies at the time, but they weren’t designed for the Internet. They were still quoted in print runs and it was just really old school stuff. I realized that legally cleared global royalty-free photos were really hard to find. By starting Shutterstock in 2003, I was solving my own problem as a business owner.” - Founder & Executive Chairman Jon Oringer At the Time of Shutterstock’s 2012 IPO Stock image-centric Ecommerce channel-driven >19 million images >500,000 videos Content Customers Royalties CONTENT ENGINE Contributors 6

Proprietary and confidential 93

Proprietary and confidential 94 Appendix

Proprietary and confidential 95 Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, our management considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, collectively referred to as non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP financial measures are included solely to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results and are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be considered only in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP measures. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies. Shutterstock’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, as an integral part of managing the business and to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of Shutterstock’s business operations, financial performance and overall liquidity; (ii) facilitate management’s internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of its business operations; (iii) facilitate management’s external comparisons of the results of its overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels; (iv) review and assess the operating performance of Shutterstock’s management team and, together with other operational objectives, as a measure in evaluating employee compensation and bonuses; (v) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and (vi) plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to investors because these measures enable investors to analyze Shutterstock’s operating results on the same basis as that used by management. Additionally, management believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors about the performance of the Company’s overall business because such measures eliminate the effects of unusual or other infrequent charges that are not directly attributable to Shutterstock’s underlying operating performance. Management also believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the comparability for investors in assessing Shutterstock’s financial reporting. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, as the excluded items may have significant effects on our operating results and financial condition. Additionally, our methods for measuring non-GAAP financial measures may differ from other companies’ similarly titled measures. When evaluating our performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income and our other GAAP results. Our method for calculating adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as well as a reconciliation of the differences between adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income and the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is presented herein. We do not provide a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income guidance because we are unable to calculate with reasonable certainty the impact of potential future transactions, including, but not limited to, capital structure transactions, restructuring, acquisitions, divestitures or other events and asset impairments, without unreasonable effort. These amounts depend on various factors and could have a material impact on net income but may be excluded from adjusted EBITDA. In addition, we believe such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Proprietary and confidential 96 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP (in thousands) We define adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, write-off of property and equipment, gain on sale of webdam, non-cash equity-based compensation, impairment of lease and related assets, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, severance costs associated with strategic workforce optimizations, interest income and expense and income taxes. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to revenue.
