Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Key Metrics Summary
- Annualized Recurring Revenue: As of December 31, 2022, annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) reached $323.5 million and includes $6.4 million of JUMP Technology’s ARR, an increase of 16.4% from $277.8 million as of December 31, 2021.
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 December 31, 2022, the gross revenue retention rate was 98%. The Company has reported a gross revenue retention rate of approximately 98% for sixteen consecutive 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 December 31, 2022, the net revenue retention rate was 106%, an increase from 103% as of September 30, 2022. The new pricing construct continues to bear fruit and reduces volatility in ARR.
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. - Clients: As of December 31, 2022, the Company, including JUMP Technology, had 1,262 clients, and 67 clients that contributed at least $1.0 million in ARR.
- Assets Under Management (AUM): As of December 31, 2022, the platform processes and reports on $6.4 trillionassets daily, compared to $5.9 trillion assets daily as of December 31, 2021.
Recent Business Highlights
- In the last one hundred days of 2022, two more of the top twenty insurers by AUM in the U.S. chose to move off legacy platforms and migrate to the Clearwater platform.
- Clearwater Analytics announced that it completed the acquisition of Paris, France-based JUMP Technology. In the fourth quarter of 2022, JUMP Technology contributed $2.7 million in revenue. The transaction expands Clearwater Analytics’ total addressable market in investment management with a complete end-to-end lifecycle solution. With the addition of JUMP Technology, Clearwater Analytics further positions itself to become an industry-leading provider of innovative, modularized solutions to investment management companies globally. Luxembourg-based insurance provider Cardif Lux Vie selected the Clearwater JUMP solution to meet its asset management, investment accounting, and reporting needs. Cardif Lux Vie cited JUMP Technology now integrated into the Clearwater group for its best-of-breed solutions and dedicated client services team that will enable the insurer to reduce operational risk, comply with regulatory requirements, and achieve greater operational efficiencies.
- In 2022, Clearwater Analytics focused on building out its multi-product offering by introducing Clearwater Prism and Clearwater LPx. Clearwater Prism and Clearwater LPx have gained traction in the market, solving some of our clients’ most complex investment reporting needs.

Morgan Asset Management expanded its relationship with Clearwater Analytics to implement a regulatory reporting solution. The Clearwater platform with Clearwater Prism aggregates data and performs a series of calculations and data validations that generate templated reports for J.P. Morgan Asset Management to comply with a daily regulatory reporting obligation. At Clearwater Connect 2022, J.P. Morgan Asset Management was the recipient of the Partnered for Success award for driving breakthrough efficiencies in investment accounting with Clearwater Analytics.

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 diluted share 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 diluted share 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, 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,” “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 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 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, 2021 filed on March 16, 2022, those discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 that will be filed following this earnings release, 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.
