Briefing

Clarivate's Q1 2023 performance was reported, showing a mix of revenue decreases and strong cash flow.

Clarivate reported a 5.0% decrease in revenues to $629.1 million, driven by the divestiture of MarkMonitor and currency headwinds. Despite this, the company saw a 3.1% increase in subscription revenues and a significant rise in free cash flow to $168.2 million. The company reaffirmed its 2023 outlook, anticipating an acceleration of organic growth.

  • Revenues decreased by 5.0% to $629.1 million, with a 3.1% decrease at constant currency.
  • Organic revenues decreased by 0.2%, as subscription revenue growth was offset by declines in re-occurring and transactional revenues.
  • Net income attributable to ordinary shares decreased by $26.1 million to $24.7 million.
  • Free cash flow increased significantly by $142.2 million to $168.2 million.
