BOISE, Idaho, April 30, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CWAN) ("Clearwater Analytics" or the "Company"), the most comprehensive technology platform for investment management, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"In Clearwater's final quarter prior to its acquisitions of Enfusion, Beacon and Bistro, I'm incredibly proud to report both exceptional results and milestone achievements. Since our first Investor Day in 2023, our execution has consistently exceeded expectations across key metrics, such as gross margins reaching 78.9%, approaching our 80% target ahead of schedule, and R&D spend decreasing from 25-26% to 21.6% of revenue. While we initially projected margin improvements of 50 and 200 basis points in gross margin and EBITDA, respectively, we’ve delivered growth at a significantly faster pace. Our value proposition has proven even more compelling in volatile market environments because institutional investors need to see a comprehensive view of their global assets with greater frequency and sophistication," said Sandeep Sahai, CEO at Clearwater Analytics. "While our metrics will reset following the completion of our acquisitions, our long-term goals remain unchanged and our journey of improvement will continue unabated. Our strong ARR growth, expanding margins, and improved efficiencies demonstrate our progress as we continue to reshape the future of investment operations with the industry’s most comprehensive investment management platform."

"We’re very pleased with Clearwater’s first quarter results. In addition to our strong revenue and stellar EBITDA, our free cash flow generation in the quarter increased 168% year-over-year. I’m also pleased to report that Enfusion’s Q1 2025 preliminary revenue was $54.5 million, or 13% year-over-year growth, consistent with what we had expected," said Jim Cox, CFO at Clearwater Analytics.
