Clarivate Plc announced that France's Bibliographic Agency for Higher Education, known as Abes, has selected its Alma, Primo and Rapido platforms under a multi-year agreement to modernize the national academic library system that underpins more than 15 million records across 3,000 libraries. The deal deepens Clarivate's integration into critical national research infrastructure in France, though it does not materially alter near-term risks from pressured higher education budgets and the shift toward Open Access. Management reaffirmed 2026 revenue guidance of US$2.30 billion to US$2.42 billion, signaling confidence in full-year targets even as it undertakes this large-scale modernization project. The company continues to face execution risks from portfolio reshaping, divestitures, and ongoing net losses, while rising AI competition could compress pricing power faster than expected.

Clarivate has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Life Sciences & Healthcare segment to Altaris for approximately $600 million. The deal includes $500 million in cash, a $75 million seller note, and $25 million in deferred cash tied to transition services. The company plans to use the proceeds to reduce debt and will become a subscription-first provider of technology-enabled services, intelligence solutions, and workflow software upon completion.

Clarivate Plc released its 2025 Sustainability Report, highlighting a 24% decline in total greenhouse gas emissions. Total emissions across Scope 1, 2 and 3 fell from 96,666 tCO₂e in 2024 to 73,110 tCO₂e in 2025. Sustainability-certified workplaces now cover approximately 38% of the company's total square footage. ProQuest One Sustainability was adopted by more than 400 institutions and named a Library Journal Best Reference Database for 2025. Colleagues contributed over 36,000 volunteer hours to community initiatives, and Clarivate partnered with Teva to support antimicrobial stewardship programs in Germany and Kenya.

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation has selected Clarivate's IPfolio as its core platform for intellectual property management. The cloud-based system centralizes patents, trademarks, and other IP assets to improve operational efficiency and cross-functional visibility throughout the IP lifecycle. It integrates Clarivate's Derwent patent data for automatic verification and enrichment, reducing manual workload, while features like IP Sync and integrated annuity management streamline processes and support data-driven decisions. The implementation is part of Mitsubishi Fuso's broader digital transformation strategy, supported by Clarivate's local teams in Japan.
