Clarivate PLC, a leading global provider of proprietary information, analytics, and professional services, has recently made significant announcements regarding its leadership and financial performance for the second quarter of 2025.
Leadership Update
On July 30, 2025, Clarivate announced the appointment of Maroun S. Mourad as President of the Intellectual Property (IP) segment, effective September 8, 2025. Mourad, who previously served as President of Claims Solutions at Verisk Analytics, brings a wealth of experience in data analytics and software. His career spans over two decades, during which he has successfully grown businesses across the U.S., U.K., Europe, and emerging markets. Mourad holds a BA in political science and a JD from UC Berkeley. He will succeed Gordon Samson, who is set to retire at the end of 2025 after a distinguished career in the IP industry, including a five-year tenure as Chief Operating Officer at CPA Global and a recent role as President of the IP segment at Clarivate.
Financial Performance
Clarivate reported its second quarter 2025 results, highlighting continued growth and strategic initiatives. Total revenues for the quarter were $621.4 million, a decrease from $650.3 million in the same quarter of 2024. This decline is attributed to inorganic divestitures and disposals. However, the company noted an acceleration in organic ACV (Average Contract Value) and recurring organic revenue growth, alongside an improved organic recurring revenue mix.
The company reaffirmed its 2025 outlook, emphasizing its commitment to driving long-term predictable growth. Additionally, Clarivate repurchased 11.5 million ordinary shares during the second quarter, reflecting confidence in its financial strategy and future prospects.

As of July 28, 2025, Clarivate’s close price stood at $4.23, with a market capitalization of $3.03 billion. The company’s 52-week high was $7.15 on September 29, 2024, and its 52-week low was $3.04 on April 8, 2025. The price-to-earnings ratio was reported at -4.64, indicating a challenging earnings environment.
