Highlights of Q2 2026 Results
- - Total Revenues: The total revenue for the quarter reached $587.3 million, a decline from $621.4 million in the same quarter of 2025, primarily due to divestitures. Organic revenue saw a slight decrease of 1.5%, but the company maintained a positive trajectory in its subscription-based services.
- - Net Loss: Clarivate reported a net loss of $268.6 million, or $0.42 per share, which contrasts with a loss of $72.0 million in Q2 2025. This year’s substantial loss was significantly influenced by a $221.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge.
- - Adjusted Metrics: Adjusted net income was reported at $123.1 million, slightly lower than $123.3 million in the previous year, reflecting a steady performance in recurring revenue streams. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $247.2 million compared to $261.6 million a year earlier.
Financial Discipline in Focus
During the first half of 2026, Clarivate achieved
$1.172.8 billion in total revenues, down from
$1.215.1 billion. Despite this overall dip, the company noted a
0.4% decrease in organic revenue, driven by regulatory adjustments in various segments. Impressively, the company managed to generate over
$233.4 million in operating cash flow, showcasing its robust cash generation capabilities in turbulent times.
Matti Shem Tov, the CEO of Clarivate, stated, "The Value Creation Plan has been pivotal in steering our strategic priorities and paving the way for organic growth. All actions taken this quarter, especially the divestiture of the Life Sciences and Healthcare segment, have helped sharpen our focus and enhance our financial flexibility."

$2.30B to $2.42B, accompanied by an adjusted EBITDA prediction of
$980M to $1.04B. The plan aims to realize a recurring organic revenue growth rate of
0.75% to 2.25%.
