•Revenues of $683.7 million increased 1.2%, and decreased 0.6% at constant currency(2)

•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

•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.”

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.

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.
