Clarivate Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results — Continued acceleration of organic ACV — — Raises 2025 Revenues Outlook — — Repurchased 11.7 million ordinary shares and repaid $100 million of debt in the third quarter — London, UK -- October 29, 2025 Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CLVT) (the “Company” or “Clarivate”), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. “The third quarter demonstrated continued improved financial and operational performance, underscoring the effectiveness of our Value Creation Plan and the increased focus, growth and innovation it enables. By accelerating product and AI development, investing in proprietary assets, and collaborating closely with our customers, we are optimizing our business model and supporting improved sales execution, which is driving organic ACV growth,” said Matti Shem Tov, Chief Executive Officer. “We remain committed to increasing our core subscription and recurring revenue mix, rationalizing our solutions portfolio, and unlocking greater value for our shareholders. With strong talent, disciplined cost management, and enterprise technology as key enablers, we are well-positioned to deliver sustainable growth and long-term success.” Total revenues for the third quarter of 2025 were $623.1 million, compared to total revenues of $622.2 million for the third quarter of 2024. Organic revenues for the third quarter of 2025 decreased 0.1%, as organic subscription growth of 1.2%, was offset by lower organic re-occurring and transactional revenues. Organic ACV grew 1.6% compared to September 30, 2024, and the mix of organic recurring revenue to total revenue through nine months of this year has improved 800 bps to 88%, compared to 80% for the prior year ended December 31, 2024. Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $28.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $65.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $119.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $134.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 was $252.4 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $264.4 million for the third quarter of 2024. Total revenues through nine months of 2025 were $1,838.2 million, compared to total revenues of $1,893.7 million through nine months of 2024, due to inorganic divestitures and disposals. Organic revenues through nine months of 2025 increased 0.2%, due to a 0.6% increase in organic recurring revenues, partially offset by lower organic transactional revenues. Net loss through nine months of 2025 was $204.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $444.9 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, through nine months of 2024. Adjusted net income through nine months of 2025 was $338.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $379.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, through nine months of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA through nine months of 2025 was $747.2 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $775.1 million through nine months of 2024.

Total debt outstanding was $4,470.2 million as of September 30, 2025, a decrease of $100.9 million compared to December 31, 2024, driven by a $100.0 million accelerated debt repayment in September 2025. Net cash provided by operating activities through nine months of 2025 was $468.6 million compared to $505.3 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow through nine months of 2025 was $276.1 million compared to $298.4 million in the prior year period. Updated Outlook for 2025 (forward-looking statement) “The full year 2025 revenue outlook was revised upward, reflecting increased transactional book sales prior to the planned June 2026 disposal, as well as the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar,” said Jonathan Collins, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “During the quarter, as part of our commitment to shareholder returns and disciplined capital management, we allocated $50 million of cash flow towards the repurchase of approximately 12 million shares and called $100 million of our 2026 bonds.We remain focused on our strategic priorities—investing in innovation, driving operational efficiencies, and maximizing long-term value for our shareholders.” (1) (1) (1) (1) 2

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This 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.

Supplemental Revenues Information Annualized contract value (“ACV”), at any point in time, represents the annualized value of all active customer subscription- based license agreements for the next 12 months, assuming those coming up for renewal during the measurement period are renewed at their current price level. Our organic ACV grew 1.6% compared to September 30, 2024, primarily driven by price increases. Our total ACV of $1,542.7 as of September 30, 2025 declined 3.4% compared to $1,596.4 as of September 30, 2024, primarily due to the ScholarOne divestiture in November 2024 and the wind-down of certain product groups beginning in the first quarter of 2025. The following tables present our revenues by type and by segment for the periods indicated, as well as the components driving the changes between periods.

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 share-based compensation, impairments, restructuring expenses, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses, legal settlements, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and reconciles these non-GAAP measures to our Net income (loss) and Net income (loss) margin for the same periods: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In millions, except percentages); (unaudited) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net income (loss) $ (28.3) $ (65.6) $ (204.2) $ (444.9) Provision (benefit) for income taxes 3.8 15.1 34.9 23.3 Depreciation and amortization 191.8 177.2 568.1 541.0 Interest expense, net 68.5 72.2 199.4 213.5 Share-based compensation expense 16.0 15.4 45.6 49.7 Goodwill and intangible asset impairments — 13.8 — 316.6 Restructuring and other impairments 11.9 4.0 45.9 14.2 Fair value adjustment of warrants — — — (5.2) Transaction related costs 4.1 6.1 18.5 13.6 Other (15.4) 26.2 39.0 53.3 Adjusted EBITDA $ 252.4 $ 264.4 $ 747.2 $ 775.1 Net income (loss) margin (4.5)% (10.5)% (11.1)% (23.5)% Adjusted EBITDA margin 40.5 % 42.5 % 40.6 % 40.9 % Includes the net impact of foreign exchange gains and losses related to the remeasurement of balances and other items that do not reflect our ongoing operatingperformance. The nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes a $14.8 loss on divestiture. Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS Adjusted net income represents Net income (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization related to acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation, impairments, restructuring expenses, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses, legal settlements, 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 associated income tax impact of such adjustments. Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income by Adjusted diluted weighted average shares. The Adjusted diluted weighted average shares calculation assumes that all instruments in the calculation are dilutive. (1) (1) 9
