Clarivate Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results
— Provides 2024 Outlook —
London, UK -- February 27, 2024 Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CLVT) (the “Company” or “Clarivate”), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights
•Revenues of $683.7 million increased 1.2%, and decreased 0.6% at constant currency(2)
•Organic revenues increased 0.1% as increases in subscription revenues of 2.6% and re-occurring revenues of 3.8% were offset by a decline in transactional and other revenues of 8.3%
•Net loss attributable to ordinary shares of $863.0 million due to the $844.7 non-cash impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; Net loss per diluted share of $1.30
•Adjusted net income(1) of $163.4 million decreased 0.4%; Adjusted diluted EPS(1) of $0.23 increased 4.5% or $0.01
•Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $298.2 million decreased 2.0%; Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1) of 43.6% decreased 150 basis points
•Net cash provided by operating activities increased $54.0 million to $190.9 million; Free cash flow(1) increased $36.5 million to $127.0 million
Full Year 2023 Financial Highlights
•Revenues of $2,628.8 million decreased 1.2%, and 2.1% at constant currency(2), driven primarily by the divestiture of MarkMonitor in October 2022, for which there were no comparable amounts in the current year period
•Organic revenues increased 0.3% as increases in subscription revenues of 2.4% and re-occurring revenues of 0.2% were offset by a decline in transactional and other revenues of 5.4%
•Net loss attributable to ordinary shares of $986.6 million improved from a loss of $4,035.6 million for the full year 2022 due to a $3,469.2 million reduction of non-cash impairment charges of goodwill and intangible assets; Net loss per diluted share of $1.47 improved by $4.77
•Adjusted net income(1) of $599.1 million decreased 4.6%; Adjusted diluted EPS(1) of $0.82 decreased 3.5% or $0.03
•Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $1,117.2 million increased 0.4% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1) of 42.5% increased 70 basis points
•Net cash provided by operating activities increased $234.9 million to $744.2 million; Free cash flow(1) increased $195.3 million to $501.7 million
“In 2023, we delivered subscription revenue growth and navigated through market headwinds. We achieved cost synergy targets and generated significant cash flow, which allowed us to increase the pay down of debt and repurchase ordinary shares,” said Jonathan Gear, Chief Executive Officer. “With organic revenue growth below our expectations, we launched a multi-year transformation plan to return to market growth rates. The plan outlines how we will continue to make strategic investments to accelerate new product development and strengthen our focus by divesting non-core assets. I am confident we are making the right investments that, when combined with our extensive content, solutions and artificial intelligence capabilities, will drive organic growth and create shareholder value.”
Selected Financial Information
The prior year results include MarkMonitor, which was divested on October 31, 2022, for which there are no comparable amounts in the current year periods.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Commentary
Revenues for the fourth quarter increased $8.4 million, or 1.2%, to $683.7 million, and decreased 0.6% on a constant currency basis(2). Organic revenues increased $1.0 million or 0.1%.
Subscription revenues for the fourth quarter increased $11.8 million, or 3.0%, to $410.8 million, and increased 1.1% on a constant currency basis(2). Organic subscription revenues increased 2.6%, driven by growth across all three product segments: Academia & Government (A&G), Intellectual Property (IP) and Life Sciences & Healthcare (LS&H).
Re-occurring revenues for the fourth quarter increased $6.4 million, or 5.7% to $119.1 million, and increased 3.8% on a constant currency basis(2). Organic re-occurring revenues increased 3.8%, primarily due to increases in patent renewal volumes and improvements in yield per case.
Transactional and other revenues for the fourth quarter decreased $9.8 million, or 6.0%, to $153.8 million, and decreased 7.5% on a constant currency basis(2). Organic transactional and other revenues decreased 8.3%, due to lower sales within the A&G books business and LS&H real world data.
Full Year 2023 Commentary
Revenues for the full year 2023 decreased $31.0 million, or 1.2%, to $2,628.8 million, and decreased 2.1% on a constant currency basis(2), primarily due to the divestiture of the MarkMonitor business. Organic revenues increased $6.7 million or 0.3%.
Subscription revenues for the full year 2023 decreased $0.7 million to $1,618.1 million, and decreased 1.3% on a constant currency basis(2), primarily due to the divestiture of the MarkMonitor business partially offset by organic growth driven by price increases, reflecting a trend consistent with the increase in our ACV (annual contract value) between periods, and a foreign exchange benefit . Organic subscription revenues increased 2.4%, primarily due to price increases.
Re-occurring revenues for the full year 2023 increased $2.7 million, or 0.6% to $444.6 million, and increased 0.2% on a constant currency basis(2). Organic re-occurring revenues increased 0.2%.
Transactional and other revenues for the full year 2023 decreased $33.0 million, or 5.5%, to $566.1 million, and decreased 6.1% on a constant currency basis(2). Organic transactional and other revenues decreased 5.4%, primarily due to lower LS&H real world data sales and IP trademarks transactional volumes and patent search & analytics revenue.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents of $370.7 million increased $13.9 million compared to December 31, 2022, driven by an improvement in operating cash flow.
The Company's total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2023 was $4,770.3 million, a decrease of $301.0 million compared to December 31, 2022, as strong free cash flow was principally used for accelerated debt repayment.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $744.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $234.9 million compared to $509.3 million for the prior year, primarily due to materially lower one-time costs as acquisition integration is complete, as well as improvements in working capital. Free cash flow(1) for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $501.7 million, an increase of $195.3 million compared to the prior year period.
Outlook for 2024 (forward-looking statement)
“We currently expect improved organic growth in 2024 across subscription and re-occurring revenue, which will be partially offset by soft transactional revenue and a previously disclosed small divestiture in the IP segment,” said Jonathan Collins, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “With topline growth more than offset by growth investments, net of cost inflation and savings initiatives, we anticipate a modest contraction of our profit margin. Additionally, we are increasing capital spending to approximately 10% of revenues to drive product innovation and intend to utilize our strong cash flow to continue to reduce our debt.”
The full year outlook presented below assumes no further acquisitions, divestitures, or unanticipated events.
| | | | | |
| 2024 Outlook |
| Revenues | $2.57B to $2.67B |
| Organic Revenue Growth | 0% to 2% |
Adjusted EBITDA(1) | $1.055B to $1.115B |
Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1) | 41% to 42% |
Adjusted Diluted EPS(1)(3) | $0.70 to $0.80 |
Free Cash Flow(1) | $420M to $500M |

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, Free Cash Flow, and Standalone Adjusted EBITDA 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

Reconciliations to Certain Non-GAAP Measures
(Amounts in tables may not sum due to rounding)
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, net.
The following table presents our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months and the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and reconciles these 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 tables present our calculation of Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS for the three months and the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and reconcile these measures to our Net income (loss) and EPS for the same periods:

Required Reported Data
Standalone Adjusted EBITDA
We are required to report Standalone Adjusted EBITDA, which is identical to Consolidated EBITDA and EBITDA as such terms are defined under our credit facilities, dated as of October 31, 2019, and the indentures governing our secured notes due 2026 issued by Camelot Finance S.A. and guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, and the indentures governing the secured and unsecured notes issued by Clarivate Science Holdings Corporation in August 2021, respectively. In addition, the credit facilities and the indentures contain certain restrictive covenants that govern debt incurrence and the making of restricted payments, among other matters. These restrictive covenants utilize Standalone Adjusted EBITDA as a primary component of the compliance metric governing our ability to undertake certain actions otherwise proscribed by such covenants.
Because Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is required pursuant to the terms of the reporting covenants under the credit facilities and the indentures and because this metric is relevant to lenders and noteholders, management considers Standalone Adjusted EBITDA to be relevant to the operation of its business.
Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is calculated under the credit facilities and the indentures by using our Consolidated Net income (loss) for the trailing 12-month period (defined in the credit facilities and the indentures as our U.S. GAAP net income adjusted for certain items specified in the credit facilities and the indentures) adjusted for items including: taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash charges, including impairments, expenses related to capital markets transactions, acquisitions and dispositions, restructuring and business optimization charges and expenses, consulting and advisory fees, run-rate cost savings to be realized as a result of actions taken or to be taken in connection with an acquisition, disposition, restructuring or cost savings or similar initiatives, “run rate” expected cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and synergies related to the transition projected by us, costs related to any management or equity stock plan, other adjustments that were presented in the offering memorandum used in connection with the issuance of the secured notes due in 2026, and earnout obligations incurred in connection with an acquisition or investment.

Forward-Looking Statements This communication contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which express management’s current views concerning future business, events, trends, contingencies, financial performance, or financial condition, appear at various places in this communication and may use words like “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “goal,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “see,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “strive,” “target,” “will,” and “would” and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding: guidance outlook and predictions relating to expected operating results, such as revenue growth and earnings; strategic actions such as acquisitions, joint ventures, and dispositions, including the anticipated benefits therefrom, and our success in integrating acquired businesses; anticipated levels of capital expenditures in future periods; our ability to successfully realize cost savings initiatives; our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing business operations; expectations of the effect on our financial condition of claims, litigation, inflation, foreign currency fluctuations, international hostilities, contingent liabilities, and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings; and our strategy for customer retention, growth, product development, market position, financial results, and reserves. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management’s current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. 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. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include those factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K, along with our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). However, those factors should not be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business operations. Forward-looking statements are based only on information currently available to our management and speak only as of the date of this communication. We do not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable 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 In this presentation, we refer to certain information and statistics from third-party sources. Although we believe that these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such third-party sources and disclaim any liability with respect to the data therein that have been included in this presentation and cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness.

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, 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. 23 Presentation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures 23
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, net. © 2023 Clarivate Plc. All rights reserved. 24 Presentation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures 24
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, mandatory convertible preferred share 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 its 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.
