Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Clarivate Plc (“Clarivate,” “us,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands. We are a leading global provider of transformative intelligence. We support the entire innovation lifecycle, from cultivating curiosity to protecting the world’s critical intellectual property assets. We offer intelligence solutions, workflow solutions, and tech-enabled services to our customers in the Academia & Government (“A&G”), Intellectual Property (“IP”), and Life Sciences & Healthcare (“LS&H”) end markets, which form the basis of our three reportable segments, organized by the different products and services we offer and the markets we serve. For additional information on our reportable segments, see Note 11 - Segment Information. Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. In our opinion, these interim statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented, and such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less, and includes restricted cash of $9.9 and $12.6 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant of these estimates relate to our asset impairment analyses and income taxes. We evaluate these estimates, assumptions, and judgments on an ongoing basis by reference to our historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. For example, we continue to monitor rapidly changing macroeconomic, industry, and competitive conditions, as well as the potential sale of our LS&H segment, to evaluate for potential triggering events, which may occur in an interim period. If we determine that a triggering event has occurred, we update our impairment assessment by reviewing and potentially changing assumptions and estimates, which could result in future impairment charges. Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are those that we believe are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, as well as those that involve significant judgments or estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part II, Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient to measure credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The practical expedient allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when measuring credit losses. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of 2026, with no material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires footnote disclosure that disaggregates relevant expense captions, including the total amount of selling expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on our financial statement disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes all references to project stages and clarifies the threshold that entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The update further specifies required disclosures for all capitalized internal-use software costs. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, including interim reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. Entities are permitted to apply the new guidance using a prospective, modified, or retrospective transition approach. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on our financial statements and related disclosures.
