Safe Harbor Statement and Non-GAAP Financial Measures © 2026 Clarivate. All rights reserved. 2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation 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. Forward-looking statements included in this presentation include all matters that are not historical facts, including statements relating to our intentions, beliefs, or current expectations concerning, among other things, any future strategic transactions we may explore, the anticipated use of proceeds from the divestiture of our Life Sciences & Healthcare business and any related cost savings or other benefits, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, capital allocation plans and share repurchases, foreign exchange impacts, our prospects, growth, strategies and shareholder value, the markets in which we operate, our financial guidance for the fiscal year 2026 and key drivers thereof and underlying assumptions, the impact or anticipated benefits of our Value Creation Plan and other growth strategies, the global macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility, the impact of artificial intelligence (“AI”) on our business and strategy, and the timing of any of the foregoing. 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. Such forward-looking statements are based on available current market material and management's expectations, beliefs, and forecasts concerning future events impacting us. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and other important factors (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. Factors that may impact such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our ability to compete in the highly competitive industry in which we operate; our ability to maintain high annual renewal rates; our ability to maintain revenues if our products and services do not achieve and maintain broad market acceptance, or if we are unable to keep pace with or adapt to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, and changing regulatory requirements; reductions in customers’ research budgets or government funding; the success of our Value Creation Plan; our ability to derive fully the anticipated benefits from organic growth, existing or future acquisitions, joint ventures, investments, or dispositions; our exposure to risk from the international scope of our operations; our level of indebtedness; our ability to leverage AI in our products and services; any significant disruption in or unauthorized access to or breaches of our computer systems or those of third parties that we utilize in our operations; other factors beyond our control; and those factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K, along with our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. 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, which are also available on our website at www.clarivate.com.
Safe Harbor Statement and Non-GAAP Financial Measures © 2026 Clarivate. All rights reserved. 3 Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA, including discontinued operations, 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. Definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided within the Appendix to this presentation. 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. Industry and Market Data The market data and other statistical information used throughout this presentation are based on industry publications and surveys, public filings, and various government sources. Industry publications and surveys generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of the included information. We have not independently verified such third-party information, nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon in those sources, and we are unable to assure you of the accuracy or completeness of such information contained in this presentation. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding our market, industry, or similar data presented herein, such data involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors.

25© 2026 Clarivate. All rights reserved. Presentation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial 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. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Revenues. Net income (loss) margin is calculated by dividing Net income (loss) by Revenues. 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. Free cash flow Free cash flow represents Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities less capital expenditures.
