Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.

Factors to Consider

Clarivate is likely to have benefited from the coronavirus-led spike in online engagement, distance learning and increasing demand for digital sources of information.

Strong demand for open research and data analytics from the research-intensive universities and academic centers is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

Additionally, recent acquisitions (over the past year), contract renewals and cost-saving initiatives combined with new product offerings against the backdrop of the global pandemic are likely to have driven growth.

The acquisition of Decisions Resources Group (DRG), to provide life science information with offerings across the entire life science value chain, is expected to have delivered cost synergy and enhanced revenues.

Further, the company partnered with IP Desk to offer an integrated trademark protection solution. This is expected to have added significant value to its vast product portfolio, which consists of information brands such as Cortellis, Derwent, CompuMark, MarkMonitor and Techstreet.

The company is expected to have experienced an increase in the subscriber base and higher retention due to better adoption across Cortellis suite.

Also, integration of Darts-ip with CompuMark is expected to have driven the top line and enhanced penetration in the third quarter.
Recently, Clarivate also launched its online Innovation Exchange, which is expected to have enabled life science, healthcare and research professionals to gain access to innovative software and data offerings from a wide range of approved partners, thereby expanding its list of offerings.
