Third Quarter 2024 Commentary

Revenues for the third quarter decreased $25.0 million, or 3.9%, to $622.2 million, primarily due to the divestiture of Valipat in April 2024 and lower transactional sales across all three segments. Organic revenues decreased $16.5 million or 2.6%.

Subscription revenues for the third quarter increased $3.0 million, or 0.7%, to $411.1 million. Organic subscription revenues increased 0.6%, driven by price increases, partially offset by lower net volume in IP and LS&H.

Re-occurring revenues for the third quarter decreased $0.1 million, or 0.1%, to $106.7 million. Organic re-occurring revenues decreased 1.1%, primarily due to lower IP patent renewal volume.

Transactional and other revenues for the third quarter decreased $27.9 million, or 21.1%, to $104.4 million. Organic transactional and other revenues decreased 13.6%, due to lower sales across all three segments.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents of $388.5 million increased $17.8 million compared to December 31, 2023.

The Company's total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2024 was $4,711.5 million, a decrease of $58.8 million compared to December 31, 2023, driven by an accelerated debt repayment.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $505.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $48.0 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower operating results, partially offset by timing differences in working capital. Free cash flow⁽¹⁾ for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $298.4 million, a decrease of $76.3 million compared to the prior year period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP results are financial measures that are not prepared 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, and Free cash flow 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

These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts, and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, or current expectations concerning, among other things, anticipated cost savings, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, and the markets in which we operate. Such forward-looking statements are based on available current market material and management's expectations, beliefs, and forecasts concerning future events impacting us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated.

Supplemental Revenues Information

Annualized contract value ("ACV") represents the annualized value for the next 12 months of subscription-based client license agreements, assuming that all expiring license agreements during that period are renewed at their current price level. Our ACV was $1,596.4 and $1,579.2 as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which corresponds to an increase of 1.1%. The increase in ACV was primarily due to the impact of price increases, partially offset by volume declines.

The following tables present our revenues by type and by segment for the periods indicated, as well as the drivers of the variances between periods, including as a percentage of such revenues.

Reconciliations to Certain Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA represents Net income (loss) before the Provision (benefit) for income taxes, Depreciation and amortization, and Interest expense, net, adjusted to exclude acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs, share-based compensation, restructuring expenses, impairments, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses, legal settlements, and other items that are included in Net income (loss) for the period that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Net income (loss) margin is calculated by dividing Net income (loss) by Revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Revenues.

The following table presents our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and reconciles these non-GAAP measures to our Net income (loss) and Net income (loss) margin for the same periods:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions, except percentages); (unaudited)	2024	2023	2024	2023
Net income (loss)	$ (65.6)	$ 12.3	$ (444.9)	$ (67.3)
Provision (benefit) for income taxes	15.1	15.6	23.3	(83.3)

Net income (loss) margin	(10.5) %	1.9 %	(23.5) %	(3.5) %
Adjusted EBITDA margin	42.5 %	43.5 %	40.9 %	42.1 %


⁽¹⁾ Primarily reflects the net impact of unrealized foreign currency gains and losses, as well as other items that do not reflect our ongoing operating performance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the amount includes a $14.8 loss on divestiture and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the amount includes a $49.4 gain on legal settlement.

Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS

Adjusted net income represents Net income (loss), adjusted to exclude acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs, amortization related to acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation, restructuring expenses, impairments, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses, legal settlements, and other items that are included in net income (loss) for the period that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and the associated income tax impact of such adjustments.

Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income by Adjusted diluted weighted average shares. The Adjusted diluted weighted average shares calculation assumes that all instruments in the calculation are dilutive.

The following tables present our calculation of Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and reconciles these non-GAAP measures to our Net income (loss) and diluted EPS for the same periods:
