Did CLVT Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results

Clarivate delivered a clean beat to open the second half of 2025, with second-quarter adjusted diluted EPS of $0.18 edging past the $0.17 consensus by 3.39%, while revenue of $621.40 million topped estimates by 5.44%, even as headline sales slipped 4… Read more Clarivate delivered a clean beat to open the second half of 2025, with second-quarter adjusted diluted EPS of $0.18 edging past the $0.17 consensus by 3.39%, while revenue of $621.40 million topped estimates by 5.44%, even as headline sales slipped 4.4% year-over-year due to deliberate divestitures and product disposals rather than underlying weakness. The more meaningful story sits beneath the reported decline: organic revenues grew 0.5% and organic recurring revenues rose 0.8%, with the recurring mix improving to 88% for the first half of 2025, up 800 basis points from full-year 2024, reflecting the company's ongoing repositioning toward higher-quality subscription revenue. Academia & Government continued to lead with 2.5% organic growth in Q2 despite U.S. Government funding pressures, while the Intellectual Property segment returned to organic recurring revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA margins held firm at 42.1%. Management reaffirmed full-year 2025 guidance, now expecting revenue toward the top end of the $2.28 billion to $2.40 billion range, with recurring organic growth trending into the upper half of the 1.0%-to-2.0% organic ACV target.

Key Takeaways

  • Organic subscription revenue growth of 1.7% driven by new sales and price increases
  • Organic ACV growth of 1.3% primarily driven by price increases

  • A&G segment delivering 2.5% organic revenue growth in Q2
