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 StatementsThis 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 include all matters that are not historical facts, including statements relating to 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, capital allocation plans and share repurchases, foreign exchange impacts, prospects, growth, strategies, and the markets in which we operate, our financial guidance for the fiscal year 2026 and key drivers thereof and underlying assumptions, the impact or anticipated benefits of our Value Creation Plan and other growth strategies, the global macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility, the impact of artificial intelligence ("AI") on our business and strategy, and the timing of any of the foregoing. 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. Such forward-looking statements are based on available current market material and management's expectations, beliefs, and forecasts concerning future events impacting us. 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.

Clarivate Reveals the AI50 - the Organizations Leading Artificial Intelligence InventionMarch 26, 2026 4:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
LONDON, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today announced the Clarivate AI50, a new data-driven benchmark of organizations demonstrating exceptional leadership in high-impact artificial intelligence (AI) inventions.
Following our announcement of the Top 100 Global Innovators 2026, this report dives deeper into the AI world, where organizations such as NVIDIA, Micron Technology, Alphabet, Qualcomm or Foxconn are creating foundational capability in AI, translating AI into complex systems, and scaling into products, workflows and industrial environments. More than half of the AI50 organizations also appear in the 2026 Top 100 Global Innovators.Organizations in the AI50 are concentrated across a handful of countries and key industry segments. Approximately 80% of the cohort is headquartered in four countries/regions: Mainland China (15), the United States (14), South Korea (6) and Japan (6). Government and academic research institutions represent a large share of leaders, followed by organizations in the software and media, electronics and computing equipment, and semiconductors industry segments. These clusters indicate where talent pipelines, supplier ecosystems and cross border collaboration are fueling accelerated innovation and deployment.The AI50 analysis is underpinned by the Clarivate Center for IP and Innovation Research. The Center's analyses are founded in rigorous research leveraging the proprietary Derwent Strength Index, derived from the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) and its global invention data to measure the influence of ideas, their success and rarity, and the investment in inventions.Maroun S. Mourad, President, Intellectual Property, Clarivate, said: "As the world economy is reshaping, the AI50 are leading the way. They generate a disproportionately high share of the world's high-strength AI inventions – ideas with measurable technical impact and multinational protection. These organizations are building cognitive systems and integrated intelligence that will define the next industrial era."Roy Jakobs, CEO Philips, said: "AI is entering a new phase of real-world impact and the Clarivate AI50 reflects how it is becoming embedded in the systems shaping industries and everyday life. From improving patient care – where medtech leaders such as Philips apply AI as trusted partners – to enabling smarter products and services, these organizations are delivering tangible impact. The focus now is on scaling these advances responsibly to deliver lasting value for people and society."Other key findings from the report include:Organizations driving foundational AI invention lead the development of core technologies, with major contributors such as Alphabet, Huawei, IBM, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Tencent and leading Chinese universities advancing patented breakthroughs in model architecture, hardware and platform capabilities.Organizations demonstrating deep, domain-focused AI innovation reveal intense specialization within targeted application areas, with innovators such as Accenture, Alibaba, ByteDance, ETRI, KAIST, KLA and Tata Consultancy Services translating AI techniques into tightly scoped, high-impact applications.Cross-border and academic collaboration is significantly higher among the AI50: around 10% of inventions involve academic partners (vs. 7% globally) and 20% involve international inventor teams (vs. 7% globally).Government and academic research organizations form a substantial portion of the cohort, highlighting the central role of publicly funded research in advancing AI fundamentals.To learn more, please visit our Clarivate AI50 site.Detailed Methodology
The inaugural edition of the AI50 is derived from a focused analysis of AI inventions indexed in the Derwent World Patents Index. Invention strength is scored using an invention-level metric from Clarivate, and the top 0.5% within the AI set are selected. From these, only inventions with patent family members in at least two countries are retained. Each invention is attributed to its current ultimate owner, and organizations are ranked by the number of these qualifying inventions they own. The top 50 organizations constitute the AI50 (52 this year due to a tie at the inclusion boundary).About Clarivate Center for IP and Innovation Research
The Clarivate Center for IP and Innovation Research empowers organizations worldwide to excel by providing expert guidance grounded in pioneering benchmarks and data-driven insights. Bringing together senior practitioners, consultants and data analysts, the Center performs research to establish and disseminate benchmarks that guide management and strategy.

Clarivate Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 ResultsFebruary 24, 2026 6:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)
— Value Creation Plan accelerated organic ACV and drove higher cash flow in 2025 —— Financial outlook for 2026 projects continued momentum —— Provides update on strategic review; Currently engaged in active discussions with interested parties to sell Life Sciences & Healthcare business —LONDON, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 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, 2025.
Executive CommentaryMatti 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 SegmentThe 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 ResultsTotal 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 ResultsTotal 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 GenerationClarivate 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.Selected Financial Information(In millions, except percentages and per share data),

The conference ID number is 7258454.A replay of the webcast will also be available on https://ir.clarivate.com beginning two hours after the conclusion of the live call and will remain available for one year.Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis 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 StatementsThis 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.
