Forward - Looking Statements The accompanying materials contain certain forward - looking statements regarding Clarivate Plc (“ Clarivate or the “Company”), its financial condition and its results of operations, anticipated synergies and other future expectations . Forward - looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, if at all, such performance or results will be achieved . All of these statements, particularly those relating to expected synergies and expected cost savings from the acquisitions of ProQuest, DRG and CPA Global (each as defined herein), are based on estimates and assumptions prepared by the Company’s management as of the date of this presentation that, although the Company believes to be reasonable as of such date, are inherently uncertain . These statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the markets in which the Company operates . Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward - looking statements are more fully discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Amendment No . 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10 - K/A for the year ended December 31 , 2020 filed with the U . S . Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 10 , 2021 , along with the documents filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference therein . However, those factors should not be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties . Forward - looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made . The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of the forward - looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise . If the Company does update one or more forward - looking statements, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make any additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to any other forward - looking statements . The pro forma financial information presented herein was based on certain assumptions and estimates, and may not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred if the Company had completed the acquisitions during the periods presented or the Company’s future results of operations . In addition, the estimated costs and anticipated cost savings presented herein, are based on management’s expectations, beliefs and projections, are subject to change and there can be no assurance that such expectations, beliefs or projections will be achieved . Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains financial measures which have not been calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and net debt, because they are a basis upon which our management assesses our performance and we believe they reflect the underlying trends and indicators of our business . Although we believe these measures may be useful for investors for the same reasons, these financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP financial measures as a measure of the Company’s financial condition, profitability and performance or liquidity . In addition, these financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies . In the Appendix to this presentation, we provide further descriptions of these non - GAAP measures and reconciliations of these non - GAAP measures to the corresponding most closely related GAAP measures . Basis of Presentation Certain financial information contained in this presentation, including Clarivate’s LTM 3 / 31 / 2021 pro forma financial information, has not been prepared in accordance with the rules of the SEC and may not reflect all of the adjustments that would be required to comply with the rules promulgated by the SEC . The financial information does not purport to indicate the results that would have been obtained had Clarivate, DRG, CPA Global, and ProQuest been operating as a combined company during the periods presented, or the results that may be realized in any future period .

Combined Adjusted EBITDA Less Cap E x Conversion Combined adjusted EBITDA less capex conversion represents the historical FY 2020 adjusted EBITDA less capex conversion of Clarivate and ProQuest, as well as additional adjustments to reflect the full year impact of Clarivate's acquisitions and divestitures, including DRG, CPA Global and Techstreet . 29

 

 

Non - GAAP Financial Measures 30 The use of Adjusted EBITDA instead of GAAP measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results of operations and operating cash flows as reported under GAAP . For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect : – the Company’s cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures – changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs – interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debt – any cash income taxes that the Company may be required to pay – any cash requirements for replacements of assets that are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives and may have to be replaced in the future – all non - cash income or expense items that are reflected in the Company’s statements of cash flows The Company’s definition of and method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the definitions and methods used by other companies when calculating adjusted EBITDA, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures . The Company prepared the information included in this presentation based upon available information and assumptions and estimates that it believes are reasonable . The Company cannot assure you that its estimates and assumptions will prove to be accurate . Because the Company incurred transaction, transition, integration, transformation, restructuring, and Transition Services Agreement costs in connection with the 2016 Transaction and the transition, borrowed money in order to finance its operations, and used capital and intangible assets in its business, and because the payment of income taxes is necessary if the Company generates taxable income after the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards, any measure that excludes these items has material limitations . As a result of these limitations, these measures should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its business or as a measure of its liquidity . Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow We use free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow in our operational and financial decision - making and believe free cash flow and adjusted free cash is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, ratings agencies and other interested parties to evaluate our competitors and to measure the ability of companies to service their debt . Free cash flow is calculated using net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures . Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow, less cash paid for transition services agreement, transition, transformation and integration expenses, transaction related costs and debt issuance costs offset by cash received for hedge accounting transactions .

 

 

Non - GAAP Financial Measures Combined Adjusted Net Leverage Combined adjusted Net Leverage represents the net debt of Clarivate and ProQuest (total debt less cash and equivalents) divided by the latest twelve month adjusted EBITDA . ProQuest Adjusted Organic Revenue ProQuest adjusted organic revenue represents ProQuest’s revenue adjusted for revenue from the Print Books segment . Combined Adjusted EBITDA Less CapEx Margin Combined adjusted EBITDA less capex margin represents the historical FY 2020 combined adjusted EBITDA less capex margin of Clarivate and ProQuest . Net Debt Net debt is the total outstanding debt less the balance of cash and cash equivalence as of period - end. ProQuest Adjusted EBITDA ProQuest Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by using net (loss) before provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization a nd interest income and expense adjusted to exclude the other items identified in the table below that ProQuest does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance. 31
