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.

  • Revenues decreased by 5.0% to $629.1 million, with a 3.1% decrease at constant currency.

  • Free cash flow increased significantly by $142.2 million to $168.2 million.
