This presentation 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

our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our 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 our 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, our ability to keep pace with rapid technological change and market developments, including artificial intelligence, competitors in our 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 our platform, our ability to manage growth, our ability to attract and retain skilled employees, the possibility that our solutions fail to perform properly, disruptions and failures in our and third parties' computer equipment, cloud-based services, electronic delivery systems, networks and telecommunications systems and infrastructure, the failure to protect our, our customers' and/or our vendors' confidential information and/or intellectual property, claims of infringement of others' intellectual property, 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, 2023, filed on February 29, 2024, and in other periodic reports filed by Clearwater Analytics with the SEC. These filings are available at www.sec.gov and on our website. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of the release of this investor presentation. 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.

This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by the Company relating to market size and growth and other data about the Company's industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Neither the Company nor any other person makes any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such data or undertakes any obligation to update such data after the date of this presentation. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which the Company operates are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

In light of the foregoing, you are urged not to rely on any forward-looking statement or third-party data in reaching any conclusion or making any investment decision about any securities of the Company.

Net Promoter Score ("NPS") refers to our net promoter score, which can range from a low of negative 100 to a high of positive 100, that we use to gauge customer satisfaction. NPS benchmarks can vary significantly by industry, but a score greater than zero represents a company having more promoters than detractors. Our methodology of calculating NPS reflects responses from customers who purchase investment accounting and reporting, performance measurement, compliance monitoring and risk analytics solutions from us and choose to respond to the survey question. In particular, it reflects responses given in the fourth quarter of 2023 and reflects a sample size of 148 responses over that period. NPS gives no weight to customers who decline to answer the survey question.

This presentation contains certain non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP R&D, non-GAAP S&M and non-GAAP G&A.

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, we believe that this non-GAAP information is useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate our operating performance, when reviewed in conjunction with our 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 our 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 our GAAP financial results.

Our non-GAAP statement of operations measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP R&D, non-GAAP S&M, non-GAAP G&A 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 our 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.

A reconciliation of certain of the non-GAAP measures is presented in the Appendix to this presentation and in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed in reference to our earnings for the fourth quarter and full year 2023.

The information presented in the Appendix regarding the Company's corporate and share structure and the tax receivable agreement (the "TRA") is summary information only, does not purport to be complete and should be read together with the Company's description of these matters in the Definitive Proxy Statement filed on April 28, 2023, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed on February 29, 2024, including the risk factors thereto, and in other periodic reports filed by Clearwater Analytics with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the exhibits thereto (the "SEC Disclosure Documents"). In the event of any conflict between the information presented herein and the SEC Disclosure Documents, you should rely on the content contained in the SEC Disclosure Documents.
