Getty Images (NYSE:GETY) reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, delivering the highest annual revenue in the company’s history.
Total revenue for the year reached $981.3 million, a 4.5% increase over 2024.
The performance was bolstered by a particularly strong fourth quarter, where revenue jumped 14.1% year-over-year to $282.3 million, reflecting increased demand for premium editorial content and the scaling of the company's AI-generative toolsets.
On an operational basis, Getty Images reported an adjusted EBITDA of $320.9 million for 2025.
However, the company’s bottom line was impacted by several significant non-recurring and external factors, resulting in a net loss of $206.2 million for the year.
Management attributed this loss to a combination of adverse foreign exchange movements, ongoing litigation expenses, and substantial professional fees associated with the pending merger with Shutterstock.
Additionally, higher interest rates on the company's floating-rate debt contributed to increased interest expenses throughout the fiscal year.
The strategic focus for the company remains the completion of its definitive merger agreement with Shutterstock.
