Fourth Quarter 2022 Operating Results

Revenues, net for the fourth quarter increased $114.6 million, or 20.4%, to $675.3 million, and increased 25.2% on a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾. The significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar had a negative foreign exchange impact on revenue of 4.7% for the fourth quarter of 2022. Organic revenues⁽¹⁾increased $2.5 million or 0.5%, which was partially offset by our decision to cease commercial operations in Russia in March.

Subscription revenues for the fourth quarter increased $93.6 million, or 30.6%, to $399.1 million, and increased 35.2% on a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾, primarily driven by the acquisition of ProQuest. Organic subscription revenues⁽¹⁾ increased 2.5%, primarily due to price increases and the benefit of net installations.

Re-occurring revenues for the fourth quarter decreased $6.9 million, or 5.8% to $112.7 million, and increased 2.5% on a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾. Organic re-occurring revenues⁽¹⁾ increased 2.5%, primarily due to increases in patent renewal volumes and improvements in yield per case.

Transactional and other revenues for the fourth quarter increased $28.5 million, or 21.1%, to $163.6 million, and increased 23.1% on a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾, primarily due to the acquisition of ProQuest. Organic transactional and other revenues⁽¹⁾ decreased 5.9%, due to lower transactional sales and consulting services revenue.

Full Year 2022 Operating Results

Revenues, net for the full year 2022 increased $782.9 million, or 41.7%, to $2,659.8 million, and increased 46.9% on a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾. The significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar had a negative foreign exchange impact on revenue of 5.2% for the full year 2022. Organic revenues⁽¹⁾increased $47.8 million or 2.6%. Organic revenue was slightly impacted by our decision to cease commercial operations in Russia in March 2022.

Subscription revenues for the full year 2022 increased $585.4 million, or 56.6%, to $1,619.8 million, and increased 61.4% on a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾, primarily driven by the acquisition of ProQuest. Organic subscription revenues⁽¹⁾ increased 3.4%, primarily due to price increases and the benefit of net installations.

Re-occurring revenues for the full year 2022 decreased $11.3 million, or 2.5% to $441.9 million, and increased 5.2% on a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾. Organic re-occurring revenues⁽¹⁾ increased 5.2%, primarily due to increases in patent renewal volumes and improvements in yield per case.

Transactional and other revenues for the full year 2022 increased $205.8 million, or 52.3%, to $599.1 million, and increased 55.4% on a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾, primarily due to the acquisition of ProQuest. Organic transactional and other revenues⁽¹⁾ decreased 2.7%, due to lower trademarks transactional volumes and patent filing revenue.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents of $348.8 million decreased $82.1 million compared to December 31, 2021, driven by principal payments on the Term Loan Facility, repurchases of ordinary shares, and higher capital expenditures, partially offset by the proceeds from the MarkMonitor divestiture. Restricted cash decreased $148.7 million to $8.0 million, compared to December 31, 2021 primarily due to 2022 first quarter employee payroll payments related to the CPA Global Equity Plan. The payments were funded by the December 2021 sale of shares held in the Employee Benefit Trust established for the CPA Global Equity Plan.

The Company's total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2022 was $5,071.3 million, a decrease of $495.9 million compared to December 31, 2021.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $509.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $185.5 million compared to $323.8 million for the prior year, primarily due to higher earnings excluding the non-cash goodwill impairment charge, as well as working capital timing. Adjusted free cash flow⁽¹⁾ for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $521.8 million, an increase of $62.4 million compared to the prior year period.

Outlook for 2023 (forward-looking statement)

"Our 2023 outlook reflects improved organic growth as we begin to benefit from operational initiatives across the segments, which will be partially offset by the divestiture of MarkMonitor in November 2022," said Jonathan Collins, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "We currently expect to generate significantly higher free cash flow as a result of lower one-time costs even with increased capital investments to fuel product innovation."

The full year outlook presented below assumes no further acquisitions, divestitures, or unanticipated events.

	2023 Outlook
Revenues	$2.63B to $2.73B
Organic Revenue Growth	2.75% to 3.75%
Adjusted EBITDA	$1.10B to $1.16B
Adjusted EBITDA Margin	42.0% to 42.5%
Adjusted Diluted EPS⁽³⁾	$0.75 to $0.85
Free Cash Flow	$450M to $550M

⁽³⁾ Adjusted Diluted EPS for 2023 is calculated based on approximately 740 million fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

The outlook includes Non-GAAP measures. Please see "Reconciliation to Certain Non-GAAP measures" presented below for important disclosure and reconciliations of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These terms are defined elsewhere in this earnings press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP results are not presentations made 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, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Standalone Adjusted EBITDA, organic revenue, organic subscription revenue, organic re-occurring revenue and organic transactional and other revenue 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.

We calculate constant currency by converting the non-U.S. dollar income statement balances for the most current year to U.S. dollars by applying the average exchange rates of the preceding year.

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 and transition services expenses; our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing business operations; expectations of the effect on our financial condition of claims, litigation, environmental costs, the impact of inflation, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental responses thereto, 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. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. 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 impair 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, should circumstances change, 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.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before the provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense adjusted to exclude the acquisition or disposal-related transaction costs (such costs include net income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and interest income and expense from divestitures), share-based compensation, mandatory convertible preferred share dividend expense, unrealized foreign currency gains (losses), transformational and restructuring expenses, acquisition-related adjustments to deferred revenues prior to the adoption of FASB ASU No. 2021-08 in 2021, non-operating income or expense, the impact of certain non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments, legal settlements, goodwill impairment and other items that are included in net income for the period that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance and certain unusual items impacting results in a particular period. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Revenues, net plus the impact of the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments relating to acquisitions prior to 2021.

The following table presents our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended and the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and reconciles these measures to our Net income (loss) for the same periods:

In periods subsequent to issuance, changes in the estimated fair value of the liabilities are reported through earnings.
⁽⁶⁾ Primarily reflects the net impact of foreign exchange gains and losses related to the re-measurement of balances and other items that do not reflect our ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS

Adjusted Net Income is calculated using net income (loss), adjusted to exclude acquisition 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), transformational and restructuring expenses, acquisition-related adjustments to deferred revenues prior to the adoption of FASB ASU No. 2021-08 in 2021, the impact of certain non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments, interest on debt held in escrow, goodwill impairment and other items that are included in net income for the period that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance and certain unusual items impacting results in a particular period, 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 assumed that all instruments in the calculation are dilutive.

The following tables presents our calculation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS for the three months ended and the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and reconciles these measures to our Net income (loss) and EPS for the same periods:

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is calculated using net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow, less cash paid for restructuring and lease-exit activities, payments related to the CPA Global Equity Plan, transaction related costs, interest on debt held in escrow, debt issuance costs, and other one-time payments that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance.

The following table reconciles our non-GAAP free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow measure to Net cash provided by operating activities:

	Three Months Ended December 31,		Year Ended December 31,
(in millions); (unaudited)	2022	2021	2022	2021

⁽³⁾ Includes cash paid for costs incurred to complete business combination transactions, which are comprised of acquisitions, dispositions and capital market activities, as well as advisory, legal, and other professional and consulting costs.
⁽⁴⁾ Includes cash paid for other costs that do not reflect our ongoing operating performance.
⁽⁵⁾ Reflects the portion of cash paid on interest expense incurred on secured and unsecured notes issued in 2021, while held in escrow pending the completion of the acquisition of ProQuest on December 1, 2021. Clarivate used the net proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase price and therefore considers this interest expense as part of the transaction costs associated with the acquisition.

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. Standalone Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA for cost savings already implemented.

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 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 goodwill impairment, 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.

The following table bridges Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA to Standalone Adjusted EBITDA, as Adjusted EBITDA reflects a substantial portion of the adjustments that comprise Standalone Adjusted EBITDA for the period presented:
