GETY--
think> Okay, so I need to transform the given Chinese text into a concise news headline following the specified rules. Let me start by reading through the input carefully. The company is Getty Images. The percentage change is 20.60757496%, which I need to round to two decimal places. That would be 20.61%. The time period is intraday. The main reasons for the price movement are three points. Let me break them down: 1. Q4 2025 earnings report: Revenue was $282.3 million, which is higher than the analyst estimate of $245.6 million. The growth is 14.1%. Adjusted EBITDA is $104.1 million, much higher than the expected $74.7 million, with a 36.9% margin. 2. Full-year 2025 performance: Revenue reached $981.3 million, a 30-year high, with a 4.5% increase and 3.8% currency-neutral growth. Adjusted EBITDA is $320.9 million, a 32.7% margin. 3. The Shutterstock merger has received unconditional approval in all jurisdictions except the UK. The UK's CMA final report deadline is June 14, 2026, and the merger is progressing smoothly. Now, the example headline includes the company name, percentage, time period, and a brief reason. The example also has the reason split into two parts: the main announcement and a brief description of the company. So, I need to structure this similarly. The key points to include are the significant earnings beat in Q4 and the full-year record revenue. Also, the Shutterstock merger progress is important. I should combine these into a concise reason. Wait, the user wants a brief reason. The example uses two sentences: one for the main reason and one for the company's focus. Here, maybe the main reasons are the earnings beat and the merger progress. The example uses a comma to separate the two parts of the reason. Let me check the example again. In the example, after the percentage, it says "with the company announcing that its SunAtion subsidiary..." and then continues with more details. So maybe I can structure it as: Getty Images surged 20.61% intraday, with the company reporting Q4 2025 revenue of $282.3 million, exceeding estimates by 14.1%, and full-year revenue reaching a 30-year high of $981.3 million, alongside progress on the Shutterstock merger. But the example also includes the company's focus in the second part. However, in the input, the company's focus isn't mentioned here. The user's example includes a second sentence about the company's focus. Wait, in the example input, the company's focus is described, and the output includes that as a separate sentence. But in the current input, there's no such information. The input only mentions the three points about earnings and the merger. So maybe the second part isn't needed here. The user's example includes the company's focus as part of the reason, but in this case, the reason is the earnings and merger. So perhaps the headline should have the main reason as the earnings beat and merger progress. So, the headline would be: Getty Images surged 20.61% intraday, with the company reporting Q4 2025 revenue of $282.3 million, exceeding estimates by 14.1%, and full-year revenue hitting a 30-year high of $981.3 million, while the Shutterstock merger progresses smoothly with all but UK approvals secured. But I need to check the rules again. The rules say to provide a brief reason for the price movement, retaining key information. The example includes two sentences: one for the reason and one for the company's focus. In this case, since the company's focus isn't mentioned in the input, maybe the reason is just the earnings and merger. So the headline should include both. Also, the percentage is 20.61%, time is intraday. Wait, the input has three points. The first two are about the earnings, and the third is about the merger. The example uses "with the company announcing..." for the main reason. So I can combine the earnings and merger into the reason. Let me try structuring it as: Getty Images surged 20.61% intraday, with the company reporting Q4 2025 revenue of $282.3 million, exceeding estimates by 14.1%, and full-year revenue reaching a 30-year high of $981.3 million, as the Shutterstock merger progresses with all but UK approvals secured. That seems to cover the key points. The user might.
