Second Quarter 2024 Commentary
Revenues for the second quarter decreased $18.5 million, or 2.8%, to $650.3 million, primarily due to the divestiture
of Valipat in April 2024 and the
negative impact of foreign exchange as a result of the
strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Organic revenues decreased
$3.9 million or 0.6%.
Subscription revenues for the second quarter decreased
$0.4 million, or 0.1%, to
$405.6 million. Organic subscription
revenues increased 0.7%, driven by price increases.
Re-occurring revenues for the second quarter decreased
$2.4 million, or 2.2%, to
$108.6 million. Organic re-occurring
revenues decreased 0.7%, primarily due to lower IP patent renewal
volumes.
Transactional and other revenues for the second quarter
decreased $15.7 million, or 10.3%, to
$136.1 million. Organic transactional
and other revenues decreased 4.1%, due to lower sales across all
three segments.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of June 30, 2024, cash and cash
equivalents of $376.4 million
increased $5.7 million compared to
December 31, 2023.
The Company's total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2024 was $4,717.2
million, a decrease of $53.1
million compared to December 31,
2023, driven by an accelerated debt repayment.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $302.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2024 decreased $87.5 million compared to the prior year period,
primarily due to timing differences in working capital. Free cash
flow(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $172.1
million, a decrease of $100.9
million compared to the prior year period.
Reaffirmed Outlook for 2024 (forward-looking
statement)
"Our second quarter results were in line with the expectations
we outlined on our prior earnings call. We continue to expect our
full year 2024 financial results to be in the range of our existing
outlook," said Jonathan Collins,
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "With our
strong cash flow, we plan to take a more balanced approach to
capital allocation during the second half of 2024."
The full year outlook presented below assumes no further
acquisitions, divestitures, or unanticipated events.

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.
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.

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 $1,591.8 and $1,567.2 as of June 30,
2024 and 2023, respectively, which corresponds to an
increase of 1.6%. The increase in ACV was primarily due to the
impact of price increases.
The following tables present our revenues by type and by segment
for the periods indicated, as well as the drivers of the variances
between periods, including as a percentage of such revenues.

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, 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. 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 three and six months ended
June 30, 2024 and 2023 and reconciles
these non-GAAP measures to our Net income (loss) and Net income
(loss) margin for the same periods:

Primarily reflects 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. In addition
to the net unrealized foreign exchange loss, the six months ended
June 30, 2024 also includes a $14.8 loss on divestiture and the six
months ended June 30, 2023 includes a $49.4 gain on legal
settlement.

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, 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 and six months ended
June 30, 2024 and 2023 and reconciles
these non-GAAP measures to our Net income (loss) and diluted EPS
for the same periods:
