Third Quarter 2023 Key Metrics Summary
- Annualized Recurring Revenue: As of September 30, 2023, annualized recurring revenue
("ARR") reached $362.4 million, an
increase of 19.4% from $303.6 million
as of September 30, 2022.
ARR is calculated at the end of a period by dividing the recurring
revenue in the last month of such period by the number of days in
the month and multiplying by 365.
- Gross Revenue Retention Rate: As of September 30, 2023, the gross revenue retention
rate was 98%, consistent with the Company's gross revenue retention
rate as of September 30, 2022. The
Company has reported a gross revenue retention rate of 98% for
eighteen out of the nineteen prior quarters.
Gross revenue retention rate represents annual contract value
("ACV") at the beginning of the 12-month period ended on the
reporting date less client attrition over the prior 12-month
period, divided by ACV at the beginning of the 12-month period,
expressed as a percentage. ACV is comprised of annualized recurring
revenue plus contracted-not-billed revenue, which represents the
estimated annual contracted revenue for new and existing client
opportunities prior to revenue recognition.
- Net Revenue Retention Rate: As of September 30, 2023, the net revenue retention
rate was 108%, compared to 109% as of June
30, 2023, and 103% as of September
30, 2022.
Net revenue retention rate is the percentage of recurring revenue
from clients on the platform for 12 months and includes changes
from the addition, removal, or value of assets on our platform,
contractual changes that have an impact to annualized recurring
revenues and lost revenue from client attrition.

provided on a GAAP basis. Information is presented in this manner
because the preparation of such a reconciliation could not be
accomplished without "unreasonable efforts." The Company does not
have access to certain information that would be necessary to
provide such a reconciliation, including non-recurring items that
are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations. The Company
does not believe that this information is likely to be significant
to an assessment of the Company's ongoing operations.

Use of non-GAAP Information
This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, including
non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted EBITDA,
adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income
per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP effective tax rate, diluted
non-GAAP share count and free cash flow.
The non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized
methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable
to similar measures presented by other companies. However, the
Company believes that this non-GAAP information is useful as an
additional means for investors to evaluate its operating
performance, when reviewed in conjunction with its GAAP financial
statements. These measures should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and,
because these amounts are not determined in accordance with GAAP,
they should not be used exclusively in evaluating the Company's
business and operations. In addition, undue reliance should not be
placed upon non-GAAP or operating information because this
information is neither standardized across companies nor subjected
to the same control activities and audit procedures that produce
the Company's GAAP financial results.
The Company's non-GAAP statement of operations measures,
including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net
income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP effective tax rate,
diluted non-GAAP share count and free cash flow, are adjusted to
exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and
other specified items that management believes are not indicative
of its ongoing operations. These adjusted measures exclude the
impact of share-based compensation and eliminate potential
differences in results of operations between periods caused by
factors such as financing and capital structures, taxation
positions or regimes, restructuring, transaction expenses,
impairment and other charges. Please refer to the
reconciliations of these measures below to what the Company
believes are the most directly comparable measures evaluated in
accordance with GAAP.
Use of Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are
based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information
currently available to management. Forward-looking statements
include information concerning the Company's possible or assumed
future results of operations, business strategies, technology
developments, financing and investment plans, dividend policy,
competitive position, industry, economic and regulatory
environment, potential growth opportunities and the effects of
competition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are
not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as
"anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend,"
"aim," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "seek,"
"should," "will," "would" or similar expressions and the negatives
of those terms, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such
statements.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond
Clearwater Analytics' control, that may cause the Company's actual
results, performance, or achievements to be materially different
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from
Clearwater Analytics' current expectations and include, but are not
limited to, the Company's ability to keep pace with rapid
technological change and market developments, including artificial
intelligence, competitors in its industry, the possibility that
market volatility, a downturn in economic conditions or other
factors may cause negative trends or fluctuations in the value of
the assets on the Company's platform, the Company's ability to
manage growth, the Company's ability to attract and retain skilled
employees, the possibility that the Company's solutions fail to
perform properly, disruptions and failures in the Company's and
third parties' computer equipment, cloud-based services, electronic
delivery systems, networks and telecommunications systems and
infrastructure, the failure to protect the Company, its customers'
and/or its vendors' confidential information and/or intellectual
property, claims of infringement of others' intellectual property,
risk factors related to the Company's acquisition of JUMP
Technology, including the Company's ability to (i) successfully
integrate the operations and technology of JUMP Technology with
those of the Company, (ii) retain and incentivize the management of
JUMP Technology, and (iii) retain the clients of JUMP Technology,
factors related to the Company's ownership structure and status as
a "controlled company" as well as other risks and uncertainties
detailed in Clearwater Analytics' periodic public filings with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including but
not limited to those discussed under "Risk Factors" in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2022 filed on
March 3, 2023, and in other periodic
reports filed by Clearwater Analytics with the SEC. These filings
are available at www.sec.gov and on Clearwater Analytics'
website.
Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance
on forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements
represent management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date
of this press release and should not be relied upon as representing
Clearwater Analytics' expectations or beliefs as of any date
subsequent to the time they are made. Clearwater Analytics
does not undertake to and specifically declines any obligation to
update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to
time by or on behalf of Clearwater Analytics.
