Executive Commentary

Matti Shem Tov, Chief Executive Officer:

«In 2025, Clarivate achieved significant innovation and growth. We advanced our Value Creation Plan by refining our business model, enhancing sales execution, and investing in proprietary assets while developing Agentic AI capabilities throughout our portfolio. These efforts have strengthened both our operational and financial standing and improved our revenue composition through the broader adoption of subscription-based services. As a result, we realized nearly 2% organic ACV growth, increased recurring organic revenue, and stronger free cash flow conversion, all while meeting our full-year financial guidance for 2025.»

«As we look ahead to 2026, we are operating with improved focus, efficiency, and momentum. We are utilizing our proprietary solutions in conjunction with AI to deliver greater value to our customers, and we remain committed to disciplined execution, continued organic growth, and thoughtful capital allocation.»

Jonathan Collins, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer:

«We anticipate a steady improvement in our financial performance for 2026. Although overall reported revenue will be lower due to the previously announced strategic divestitures of transactional based revenues, we forecast growth in organic ACV and recurring organic revenue. Due to robust organic growth conversion and diligent cost management, Adjusted EBITDA is projected to grow, accompanied by an estimated 200 basis point expansion in margins. Additionally, we estimate free cash flow will rise by roughly 10% to nearly $400 million at midpoint, allowing us to reinvest in our business and provide returns to shareholders.»

Sale Process for Life Sciences & Healthcare Segment

The Company previously announced a strategic review of its business portfolio. Following a comprehensive evaluation, the Company today announced it is pursuing a sale of its Life Sciences & Healthcare business. Clarivate has retained Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as its financial advisor, and is currently engaged in active discussions with interested parties. The Company believes that a potential sale will allow further emphasis on the Academia & Government and Intellectual Property markets, and it is anticipated that proceeds from a potential sale would enable the Company to strengthen its balance sheet through reduced leverage. There can be no assurances that the sale process will result in a transaction. Clarivate does not intend to comment further regarding this matter until additional disclosure is determined to be appropriate.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

Total revenues for the fourth quarter 2025 were $617.0 million, compared to $663.0 million in the fourth quarter 2024, reflecting the impact of inorganic divestitures and disposals. On an organic basis, revenues declined 1.2%, as 1.0% organic subscription growth was more than offset by lower organic re-occurring and transactional revenues.

Net income for the fourth quarter 2025 improved to $3.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $191.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income was $129.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $145.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $254.6 million, compared to $285.3 million in the prior year period.

Full Year 2025 Results

Total revenues for the full year 2025 were $2,455.2 million, compared to total revenues of $2,556.7 million in 2024, primarily reflecting the impact of inorganic divestitures and disposals. Organic revenues declined 0.1%, as 0.6% organic recurring revenue growth was offset by lower organic transactional revenues.

Organic ACV increased 1.8% compared to December 31, 2024, and the mix of organic recurring revenue improved significantly, increasing 800 basis points to 88% of total revenue, compared to 80% in the prior year. This shift reflects continued progress toward a more sustainable, subscription-led revenue base.

Net loss for the full year 2025 improved to $201.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $636.7 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, in 2024. Adjusted net income was $468.1 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared to $525.3 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $1,001.8 million, compared to $1,060.4 million in 2024.

Strong Cash Flow Generation

Clarivate generated $628.5 million of operating cash flow and $365.3 million of free cash flow during the full year of 2025. The Company returned capital to shareholders through approximately $225 million in ordinary share repurchases, including 21.2 million shares during the fourth quarter, for a total of 56.0 million shares repurchased in 2025.

Quarter 2025 Commentary

Transactional revenues were $97.1 million compared to $144.0 million in the prior year period, reflecting the impact of divestitures and disposals in Academia & Government («A&G») and Life Sciences & Healthcare («LS&H»). On an organic basis, transactional revenues declined 11.9%, primarily due to lower IP volumes.

Transactional revenues were $415.5 million compared to $500.1 million in the prior year, reflecting the impact of divestitures and disposals in A&G and LS&H segments. Organic transactional revenues declined 4.8%, primarily due to lower IP segment volumes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles («GAAP»), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, and Free cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized terms under GAAP, 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 internally in our operational and financial decision-making, to assess the operating performance of our business, to assess performance for employee compensation purposes, and to decide how to allocate resources. We believe that such measures allow us to focus on what we deem to be more reliable indicators 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. Further, these measures can be useful in evaluating our performance against our peer companies because we believe they provide users with valuable insight into key components of our GAAP financial disclosure. 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 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release 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, the anticipated divestiture of our LS&H business or any other strategic transactions we may explore, anticipated cost savings, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, anticipated transactions, 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 in our annual report on Form 10-K, along with our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission («SEC»). 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.

Annualized contract value («ACV»), at any point in time, represents the annualized value of all active customer subscription-based license agreements for the next 12 months, assuming those coming up for renewal during the measurement period are renewed at their current price level. Our organic ACV grew 1.8% in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily driven by improved product pricing. Our total ACV for 2025, compared to 2024, declined 1.0% primarily due to the wind-down of certain product groups beginning in the first quarter of 2025.

The following tables present our revenues by type and by segment for the periods indicated, as well as the components driving the changes between periods.

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 share-based compensation, impairments, restructuring expenses, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses, legal settlements, and other items that are included in Net income (loss) for the period that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Net income (loss) margin is calculated by dividing Net income (loss) by Revenues. 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and reconciles these non-GAAP measures to our Net income (loss) and Net income (loss) margin for the same periods:

Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31,

(In millions, except percentages); (unaudited) 2025 2024 2025 2024

Adjusted EBITDA margin 41.3 % 43.0 % 40.8 % 41.5 %

(1) Includes the net impact of foreign exchange gains and losses related to the remeasurement of balances and other items that do not reflect our ongoing operating performance. The fourth quarter and full year 2024 includes a gain of $69.5 and a net gain of $54.7, respectively, from the divestitures completed in 2024.

Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS

Adjusted net income represents Net income (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization related to acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation, impairments, restructuring expenses, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses, legal settlements, 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 associated income tax impact of such adjustments.

Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income by Adjusted diluted weighted average shares. The Adjusted diluted weighted average shares calculation assumes that all instruments in the calculation are dilutive.

The following tables present our calculation of Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and reconciles these non-GAAP measures to our Net income (loss) and diluted EPS for the same periods:
