"Our second quarter and first half results showed several positive trends including mid-single-digit organic revenue growth as well as significant increases in margins and free cash flow. The improved performance reflects the recovery we are seeing across many product segments, which were impacted during last year's global pandemic," said Jerre Stead, Executive Chairman and CEO. "I am very proud of our colleagues who have driven operational improvements, our connected workplace and the integration of acquisitions well-ahead of schedule."
"With our solid first half results including almost 6% organic revenue growth at constant currency, we tightened the range of our 2021 financial outlook. We currently expect to exit the fourth quarter of 2021 with organic revenue growth towards the upper-end of our 6% to 8% target."

Revenues, net, for the second quarter of 2021 increased $172.1 million, or 62.9%, to $445.6 million, compared to the prior-year period. On a constant currency basis, revenues, net, increased 58.5% for the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted revenues, net, which excludes the impact of deferred revenues resulting from purchase accounting adjustments primarily related to acquisitions, increased $170.1 million or 61.4%, to $447.0 million, compared to the second quarter of 2020. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted revenues, net, increased 57.1% for the second quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, organic revenues(1) increased 4.5% on a constant currency basis for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year period, due to higher subscription and transactional revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, organic revenue, net, increased 5.7% at constant currency, compared to the prior year period.
Subscription revenues for the second quarter of 2021 increased $27.0 million, or 12.5%, to $243.6 million, compared to the prior-year period, primarily driven by the acquisition of CPA Global, partially offset by the Techstreet divestiture. On a constant currency basis, subscription revenues increased 7.9% for the second quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, organic subscription revenues(1) increased 1.4% on a constant currency basis for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year period, due to the normalization of timing benefits realized in the first quarter of 2021 (organic subscription revenues increased 6.1% in the first quarter of 2021), as well as more disciplined operating procedures. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, organic subscription revenues increased 3.6% at constant currency, compared to the prior year period.
Re-occurring revenues for the second quarter of 2021 were $113.7 million (no prior year comparable amount), primarily from the patent renewals business acquired in the CPA Global acquisition.
Transactional revenues for the second quarter of 2021 increased $29.4 million, or 48.7%, to $89.8 million, compared to the prior-year period. On a constant currency basis, transactional revenues increased 45.3% for the second quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, organic transactional revenues(1) increased 15.8% on a constant currency basis, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The growth in organic revenues is due to an increase in professional services business lines, trademark search volumes, stronger back file and custom data sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, organic transactional revenues increased 13.3% at constant currency, compared to the prior year period.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $82.2 million, or $(0.13) per share, compared to Net loss of $25.3 million, or $(0.07) per share, in the prior-year period, driven by higher amortization expense from acquisitions and higher restructuring and impairment charges.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2021 was $189.0 million, an increase of $88.9 million or 88.8%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by the earnings contribution from acquisitions and organic growth.
Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $110.0 million, an increase of $40.5 million or 58.3%, compared to the prior year period, driven by higher revenues and ongoing cost savings initiatives. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.17 for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $0.18 in the prior-year period, as strong growth in Adjusted net income was offset by a 62.5% increase in weighted average ordinary shares outstanding primarily driven by the acquisition of CPA Global.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At June 30, 2021 cash and cash equivalents of $2.6 billion increased $2.3 billion, compared to December 31, 2020, primarily driven by the June 2021 equity offering of $1.393 billion in net proceeds of 5.25% Series A Mandatory Convertible preferred shares and $728.8 million in net proceeds of ordinary shares after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable. Restricted cash was $2.0 billion at June 30, 2021, which represents the proceeds from the $2.0 billion debt offering in June 2021 and is being held in escrow until the completion of the proposed acquisition of ProQuest. The Company intends to use the proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase price for its pending acquisition of ProQuest.
The Company's total debt outstanding at June 30, 2021 was $5,533.1 million, an increase of $1,985.7 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily due to the June 2021 debt offering of $1.0 billion of 3.875% senior secured notes due 2028 and $1.0 billion of 4.875% senior notes due 2029. The Company intends to use the proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase price for its pending acquisition of ProQuest.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $261.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $107.6 million for the prior year period. Adjusted free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was $258.5 million, an increase of $138.9 million, compared to the prior year period, as a result of growth in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA.
Updated Outlook for 2021 (forward-looking statement)
The Company updated its outlook based on the first half 2021 financial performance. The Company currently expects the full year revenue split to be approximately 48% first half and 52% second half, and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately 44% first half and 56% second half, with a heavier weighting in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to the seasonality of several business segments including DRG and CPA Global and the impact of cost synergies.
The full year outlook presented below assumes no further currency movements, acquisitions, divestitures, or unanticipated events. Additionally, the outlook excludes any contribution from the proposed acquisition of ProQuest.
The below outlook includes Non-GAAP measures. Please see "Reconciliation to Certain Non-GAAP measures" presented below for important disclosure and reconciliations of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. These terms are defined elsewhere in this earnings press release.
Updated Outlook | Previous Outlook | |
Adjusted Revenues | $1.80B to $1.84B | $1.79B to $1.84B |
Adjusted EBITDA | $795M to $825M | $790M to $825M |
Adjusted EBITDA margin | No change | 44% to 45% |
Adjusted Diluted EPS(1) | $0.70 to $0.74 | $0.74 to $0.79 |
Adjusted Free Cash Flow | No change | $450M to $500M |
(1) The updated Adjusted Diluted EPS is due to an increase of 42 million shares in the fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding as a result of the June primary and convertible share offering, as noted above. Adjusted diluted EPS for 2021 is calculated based on approximately 673.1 million (previously 631.0 million) fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP results are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are presented only as a supplement to our financial statements based on GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader's understanding of our financial performance, but none of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP. They 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 in our operational and financial decision-making. We believe that such measures allow us to focus on what we deem to be a more reliable indicator 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. These measures can be useful in evaluating our performance against our peer companies because we believe the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. 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 measures, such as Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Standalone Adjusted EBITDA, and organic revenue to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided within the schedules attached to this release. 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.
Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which express management's current views concerning future business, events, trends, contingencies, financial performance, or financial condition, appear at various places in this communication and may use words like "aim," "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "future," "goal," "intend," "likely," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "see," "seek," "should," "strategy," "strive," "target," "will," and "would" and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding: guidance outlook and predictions relating to expected operating results, such as revenue growth and earnings; our expectations around our ability to consummate our pending acquisition of ProQuest, which is subject to customary closing conditions including receipt of approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; strategic actions such as acquisitions, joint ventures, and dispositions, including the anticipated benefits therefrom, and our success in integrating acquired businesses; anticipated levels of capital expenditures in future periods; our ability to successfully realize cost savings initiatives and transition services expenses; our belief that we have sufficiently liquidity to fund our ongoing business operations; expectations of the effect on our financial condition of claims, litigation, environmental costs, the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental responses thereto, contingent liabilities, and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings; and our strategy for customer retention, growth, product development, market position, financial results, and reserves. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management's current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include those factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in our 2020 annual report on Form 10-K/A, along with our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). However, those factors should not be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Forward-looking statements are based only on information currently available to our management and speak only as of the date of this communication. We do not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws. Please consult our public filings with the SEC or on our website at www.clarivate.com.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense adjusted to exclude acquisition or disposal-related transaction costs (such costs include net income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and interest income and expense from divestitures), share-based compensation, mandatory convertible preferred share dividend expense, unrealized foreign currency gains/(losses), costs associated with the transition services agreement with Thomson Reuters, which we entered into in connection with our separation from Thomson Reuters in 2016, separation and integration costs, transformational and restructuring expenses, acquisition-related adjustments to deferred revenues, costs related to our merger with Churchill Capital Corp in 2019, non-operating income or expense, the impact of certain non-cash, mark to market adjustments on financial instruments and other items that are included in net income for the period that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance and certain unusual items impacting results in a particular period. Per Clarivate's Non-GAAP policy effective January 1, 2021, we have ceased use of adjustments for costs in connection with our separation from Thomson Reuters including costs related to the transition services agreement and separation, integration, and transformational expenses, as well as costs related to our merger with Churchill Capital Corp in 2019.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS
Adjusted Net Income is calculated using net loss, adjusted to exclude acquisition or disposal-related transaction costs (such costs include net income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and interest income and expense from the divested business), amortization related to acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation, mandatory convertible preferred share dividend expense, unrealized foreign currency gains/(losses), costs associated with the transition services agreement with Thomson Reuters, which we entered into in connection with our separation from Thomson Reuters in 2016, separation and integration costs, transformational and restructuring expenses, acquisition-related adjustments to deferred revenues, costs related to our merger with Churchill Capital Corp in 2019, non-operating income or expense, the impact of certain non-cash, mark to market adjustments on financial instruments, interest on debt held in escrow, and other items that are included in net income for the period that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance and certain unusual items impacting results in a particular period, and the income tax impact of any adjustments. Per Clarivate's Non-GAAP policy effective January 1, 2021, we have ceased use of adjustments for costs in connection with our separation from Thomson Reuters including costs related to the transition services agreement and separation, integration, and transformational expenses, as well as costs related to our merger with Churchill Capital Corp in 2019. We calculate Adjusted Diluted EPS by using Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares for the period.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
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 restructuring and lease-exit activities, transition services agreement, transition, transformation and integration expenses, transaction related costs, interest on debt held in escrow, and debt issuance costs offset by cash received for hedge accounting transactions. Per Clarivate's Non-GAAP policy effective January 1, 2021, we have ceased use of adjustments for costs in connection with our separation from Thomson Reuters including costs related to the transition services agreement and separation, integration, and transformational expenses, as well as costs related to our merger with Churchill Capital Corp in 2019.

Required Reported Data
Standalone Adjusted EBITDA
We are required to report Standalone Adjusted EBITDA, which is identical to Consolidated EBITDA and EBITDA as such terms are defined under our credit facilities, dated as of October 31, 2019 and the indenture governing our secured notes due 2026 issued by Camelot Finance S.A. and guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, respectively. In addition, the credit facilities and the indenture contain certain restrictive covenants that govern debt incurrence and the making of restricted payments, among other matters. These restrictive covenants utilize Standalone Adjusted EBITDA as a primary component of the compliance metric governing our ability to undertake certain actions otherwise proscribed by such covenants. Standalone Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA for cost savings already implemented and excess standalone costs.
Because Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is required pursuant to the terms of the reporting covenants under the credit facilities and the indenture and because this metric is relevant to lenders and noteholders, management considers Standalone Adjusted EBITDA to be relevant to the operation of its business. It is also utilized by management and the compensation committee of the Board as an input for determining incentive payments to employees.
Excess standalone costs are the difference between our actual standalone company infrastructure costs, and our estimated steady state standalone infrastructure costs. We make an adjustment for the difference because we have had to incur costs under the transition services agreement, with Thomson Reuters after we had implemented the infrastructure to replace the services provided pursuant to the transition services agreement, thereby incurring dual running costs. Furthermore, there has been a ramp up period for establishing and optimizing the necessary standalone infrastructure. Since our separation from Thomson Reuters, we have had to transition quickly to replace services provided under the transition services agreement, with optimization of the relevant standalone functions typically following thereafter. Cost savings reflect the annualized "run rate" expected cost savings, net of actual cost savings realized, related to restructuring and other cost savings initiatives undertaken during the relevant period. These costs wound down at the end of December 31, 2020.
Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is calculated under the credit facilities and the indenture by using our Consolidated Net Loss for the trailing 12-month period (defined in the credit facilities and the indenture as our U.S. GAAP net income adjusted for certain items specified in the credit facilities and the indenture) adjusted for items including: taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash charges, expenses related to capital markets transactions, acquisitions and dispositions, restructuring and business optimization charges and expenses, consulting and advisory fees, run-rate cost savings to be realized as a result of actions taken or to be taken in connection with an acquisition, disposition, restructuring or cost savings or similar initiatives, "run rate" expected cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and synergies related to the transition projected by us, costs related to any management or equity stock plan, other adjustments that were presented in the offering memorandum used in connection with the issuance of the secured notes due 2026 and earnout obligations incurred in connection with an acquisition or investment.

The foregoing adjustments (6) and (7) are estimates and are not intended to represent pro forma adjustments presented within the guidance of Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual results may differ from these estimates, and any difference may be material. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in the annual report.
