Clarivate Reports First Quarter 2024 Results
— Reaffirms 2024 Outlook —

London, UK -- May 8, 2024 Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CLVT) (the “Company” or “Clarivate”), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
Revenues of $621.2 million decreased 1.3%
Organic revenues decreased 1.7%, as an increase in subscription revenues of 2.4% was more than offset by a decrease in transactional and other revenues of 11.4% and re-occurring revenues of 5.1%
Net loss attributable to ordinary shares of $93.8 million; Net loss per diluted share of $0.14
Adjusted net income(1) of $103.5 million decreased 20.9%; Adjusted diluted EPS(1) of $0.14 decreased 22.2% or $0.04
Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $236.3 million decreased 6.5%; Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) of 38.0% decreased 220 basis points primarily due to lower revenues
Net cash provided by operating activities of $176.2 million decreased $51.3 million; Free cash flow(1) of $111.8 million decreased $56.4 million primarily due to the timing of working capital

We are making great progress this year on key objectives including product investments and operational initiatives to drive future organic revenue growth,” said Jonathan Gear, Chief Executive Officer. “Our Intellectual Property segment refined its go-to-market operating model and revived patent intelligence solutions, which is resulting in commercial success across our software solutions, particularly IPFolio, and improved Derwent renewal rates. We released a new real-world data framework in the Life Sciences & Healthcare segment and were awarded deals with two top-10 global pharmaceutical clients. Additionally, we recently acquired two startup companies, MotionHall and Global QMS, Inc. which will enhance our portfolio and expertise in the LS&H segment. We continue to make the necessary improvements to revitalize Clarivate and drive enhanced value for clients, colleagues, and shareholders.

Subscription revenues for the first quarter increased $9.9 million, or 2.5%, to $403.1 million. Organic subscription revenues increased 2.4%, driven by price increases.
Re-occurring revenues for the first quarter decreased $5.2 million, or 4.8%, to $102.5 million. Organic re-occurring revenues decreased 5.1%, primarily due to lower IP patent renewal volumes.
Transactional and other revenues for the first quarter decreased $12.6 million, or 9.8%, to $115.6 million. Organic transactional and other revenues decreased 11.4%, due to lower A&G volumes and LS&H real world data sales.

The Company's total debt outstanding as of March 31, 2024 was $4,722.6 million, a decrease of $47.7 million compared to December 31, 2023, driven by an accelerated debt repayment.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $176.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $51.3 million compared to $227.5 million for the prior year period, primarily due to timing differences in working capital.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP results are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are presented only as a supplement to our financial statements based on GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of our financial performance, but none of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP. They are not measures of financial condition or liquidity, and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or loss for the period determined in accordance with GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider such measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial measures or results of operations calculated or determined in accordance with GAAP.
We use non-GAAP measures in our operational and financial decision-making. We believe that such measures allow us to focus on what we deem to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and our ability to generate cash flow from operations, and we also believe that investors may find these non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons. Non-GAAP measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to us, many of which present non-GAAP measures when reporting their results. These measures can be useful in evaluating our performance against our peer companies because we believe the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, and Free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided within the schedules attached to this release. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by any of the adjusted items, or that any projections and estimates will be realized in their entirety or at all.

Supplemental Revenues Information

Annualized contract value (“ACV”) represents the annualized value for the next 12 months of subscription-based client license agreements, assuming that all expiring license agreements during that period are renewed at their current price level. Our ACV was $1,583.3 and $1,555.2 as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which corresponds to an increase of 1.8%. The increase in ACV was primarily due to the impact of price increases.

Reconciliations to Certain Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
Adjusted EBITDA represents Net income (loss) before the Provision (benefit) for income taxes, Depreciation and amortization, and Interest expense, net, adjusted to exclude acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs, share-based compensation, mandatory convertible preferred share ("MCPS") dividend expense, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses, restructuring expenses, non-operating income and/or expense, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, legal settlements, impairments, and other items that are included in Net income (loss) for the period that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Revenues.
The following table presents our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and reconciles these non-GAAP measures to our Net income (loss) for the same periods:

Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS
Adjusted net income is calculated using Net income (loss), adjusted to exclude acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs (such costs include net income from continuing operations before the provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and interest income and expense from the divested business), amortization related to acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation, MCPS dividend expense, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses, restructuring expenses, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, legal settlements, impairments, and other items that are included in net income (loss) for the period that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and the income tax impact of any adjustments.
Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income by Adjusted diluted weighted average shares for the period. The Adjusted diluted weighted average shares assumes that all instruments in the calculation are dilutive.
The following table presents our calculation of Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and reconciles these non-GAAP measures to our Net income (loss) and diluted EPS for the same periods:

Forward-Looking Statements This communication includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor provisions” of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts, and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, or current expectations concerning, among other things, anticipated cost savings, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, and the markets in which we operate. Such forward-looking statements are based on available current market material and management’s expectations, beliefs and forecasts concerning future events impacting us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our annual report on Form 10-K. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Please consult our public filings with the SEC or on our website at www.clarivate.com. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains financial measures which have not been calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow because they are a basis upon which our management assesses our performance, and we believe they reflect the underlying trends and indicators of our business. Although we believe these measures may be useful for investors for the same reasons, these financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP financial measures as a measure of the Company’s financial condition, profitability, performance and liquidity. In addition, these financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. In the Appendix to this presentation, we provide further descriptions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the corresponding most closely-related GAAP measures. Industry and Market Data The market data and other statistical information used throughout this presentation are based on industry publications and surveys, public filings, and various government sources. Industry publications and surveys generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of the included information. We have not independently verified such third-party information, nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon in those sources, and we are unable to assure you of the accuracy or completeness of such information contained in this annual report. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding our market, industry, or similar data presented herein, such data involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors.

Appendix Presentation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures


 
This presentation contains financial measures which have not been calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP“), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS and Free cash flow because they are a basis upon which our management assesses our performance, and we believe they reflect the underlining trends and indicators of our business. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA represents Net income (loss) before the Provision (benefit) for income taxes, Depreciation and amortization, and Interest expense, net, adjusted to exclude acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs, share-based compensation, mandatory convertible preferred shares (“MCPS”) dividend expense, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses, restructuring expenses, non-operating income and/or expense, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, legal settlements, impairments, and other items that are included in Net income (loss) for the period that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the included adjustments. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by any of the adjusted items, or that the Company’s projections and estimates will be realized in their entirety or at all. © 2023 Clarivate Plc. All rights reserved. 22 Presentation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures 22


 
Adjusted EBITDA The use of Adjusted EBITDA instead of US GAAP has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results of operations and operating cash flows as reported under US GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: – the Company’s cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures – changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs – interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debt – any cash income taxes that the Company may be required to pay – any cash requirements for replacements of assets that are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives and may have to be replaced in the future – all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the Company’s statements of cash flows The Company’s definition of and method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the definitions and methods used by other companies when calculating Adjusted EBITDA, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures. The Company prepared the information included in this presentation based upon available information and assumptions and estimates that it believes are reasonable. The Company cannot assure you that its estimates and assumptions will prove to be accurate. Adjusted EBITDA margin Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Revenues. © 2023 Clarivate Plc. All rights reserved. 23 Presentation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures 23


 
Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS We use Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted diluted EPS") in our analysis of the financial performance of the Company. We believe Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS are meaningful measures of the performance of the Company because they adjust for items that do not directly affect our ongoing operating performance in the period. Adjusted net income is calculated using Net income (loss), adjusted to exclude acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs (such costs include net income from continuing operations before the provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and interest income and expense from the divested business), amortization related to acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation, MCPS dividend expense, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses, restructuring expenses, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, legal settlements, impairments, and other items that are included in net income (loss) for the period that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and the income tax impact of any adjustments. We calculate Adjusted diluted EPS by using Adjusted net income divided by Adjusted diluted weighted average shares for the period. The Adjusted diluted weighted average shares assumes that all instruments in the calculation are dilutive. Free cash flow We use Free cash flow in our operational and financial decision-making and believe Free cash flow is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, ratings agencies and other interested parties to evaluate the ability of a company to service its debt. Free cash flow is calculated using Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities less Capital expenditures. © 2023 Clarivate Plc.
