Clear Secure, Inc. | Q2 2022 | Page 4 Shareholder Letter Q2 2022 Dear Shareholder, Our goal in these quarterly letters is to give our shareholders (to the extent you are not a quantitative algorithm) insights into our thought process, strategy, underlying economics of our business as well as other macro or micro perspectives. In our last letter, we discussed our obsession with our members’ experience and how we have earned the right to bring CLEAR to new places. This concept of enrolling once and using your identity (connecting you to all the things that make you, YOU) everywhere for frictionless experiences creates new product offerings and additional nodes in the CLEAR network. CLEAR has become a classic network effect business creating value for both our members and our shareholders. The power of the network effect has been well demonstrated throughout history in various businesses. The value of CLEAR increases exponentially as we add new airports and new use cases fueling the CLEAR flywheel that we have spoken about. When our airport network accelerated in 2016, we saw first hand the power of network effect economics—metrics including utilization, new joins, cost of acquisition and retention all improved dramatically. Retention is the lifeblood of a subscription business—a direct reflection of the member experience and the ultimate gauge of the value of the network. Retention can be best illustrated using retention curves which isolate factors such as unique member cohorts, various utilization metrics and join date (vintage) to calculate member lifetime value. Specifically, these curves demonstrate what percentage of a particular cohort of members are still active (paying) at various points in time. CLEAR’s retention curves demonstrate increasing levels of Year 1 retention for newer members as well as members who use CLEAR in multiple places. These improving curves reflect our ability to scale the business while yielding stronger unit economics. We also see very high levels of retention after Year 1 which provides a significant tailwind to our overall member retention and lifetime value. Although the pandemic temporarily impacted these trends, during the subsequent travel rebound many members who could be considered ‘excess churn’ reactivated and came back to CLEAR. New products and innovation will further our network expansion and the continued increase in our total addressable market. We have just launched our new Powered by CLEAR verification SDK, available for mobile web experiences and native mobile applications. This low-code integration creates a single app solution for our partners enabling a frictionless experience for their customers in both digital and physical environments. We are excited to welcome new partners to our network creating new ‘nodes’ for our +13 million existing CLEAR members and ensuring rapid adoption for our partners. Our second quarter 2022 results and third quarter guidance reflect continued broad-based strength across business lines and the power of the network effect. Second quarter 2022 was our


 
Clear Secure, Inc. | Q2 2022 | Page 5 Shareholder Letter Q2 2022 best CLEAR Plus enrollment quarter on record as our expanded network and frictionless travel experience are more valuable than ever. We remain focused on growing members, Bookings AND Free Cash Flow while continuing to build a brand that members trust and love. Best, Caryn and Ken


 
Clear Secure, Inc. | Q2 2022 | Page 6 Shareholder Letter Q2 2022 Second Quarter 2022 Financial Discussion Second quarter 2022 revenue grew 86.2% as compared to the second quarter of 2021 while Total Bookings increased 75.6%. We saw a continuation of the strong travel trends experienced in the first quarter driving both membership growth and net retention, leading to better-than- expected Total Bookings growth. Our in-airport and partner channels continued to perform well. Our platform bookings were driven by new enterprise partners as well as several Health Pass renewals. Second quarter 2022 Total Cumulative Enrollments reached 13.1 million, driven by strength in both CLEAR Plus enrollments and platform enrollments. Second quarter 2022 Total Cumulative Platform Uses reached 106.6 million, driven by the continued rebound in CLEAR Plus verifications and non-aviation platform use cases. Second quarter 2022 Annual CLEAR Plus Net Member Retention increased to 94.3%, up 1,370 basis points year-over-year and down 100 basis points sequentially. This performance was driven by strength in gross renewals and winbacks of previously canceled members. As discussed in the first quarter 2022 earnings call, we expect long term Annual CLEAR Plus Net Member Retention to settle in the upper 80s percentage range, above pre-pandemic levels. Cost of revenue share fee was $12.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 and includes a non- recurring benefit of $0.9 million. Excluding this benefit, cost of revenue share fee was 12.9% of revenue, a 218 basis point improvement versus second quarter of 2021. Cost of direct salaries and benefits were $25.3 million in the second quarter, up 59.8% year-over- year versus a depressed comparison, and up 10.2% sequentially. As a percentage of revenue, cost of direct salaries and benefits were down 406 basis points year-over-year and 74 basis points sequentially. Throughout 2021 we returned airport staffing levels to more normalized levels ahead of the travel rebound after managing costs and expenses in 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic-driven collapse in travel demand. Approximately 25% of the sequential growth was driven by a full quarter of expenses for airports opened during Q1 2022. The balance of the sequential growth was related to increased staffing to meet enrollment and verification demand as well as higher performance based compensation. Research and development expense of $14.3 million in the second quarter includes $2.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. Research and development expense grew 31.0% year-over- year and declined by (7.6%) sequentially. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expense declined 588 basis points year-over-year and 318 basis points sequentially. Sales and marketing expense of $11.4 million in the second quarter grew 4.3% year-over-year and 45.2% sequentially. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense declined 869 basis points year-over-year and grew 242 basis points sequentially. ~60% of the sequential increase was driven by higher variable commissions as in-airport joins reached a new quarterly record. We will continue to be opportunistic and returns-driven when evaluating sales and marketing investments.


 
Clear Secure, Inc. | Q2 2022 | Page 7 Shareholder Letter Q2 2022 Financial Discussion (cont) General and administrative expense of $48.2 million in the second quarter includes $9.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expense grew 8.8% percent year-over-year and 4.9% sequentially. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense declined 3,334 basis points year-over-year and 381 basis points sequentially. The prior year comparison includes a $10.9 million non-cash warrant and compensation revaluation expense related to our initial public offering in Q2 2021. Stock compensation expense of $12.3 million in the second quarter was down 6.3% sequentially. Approximately $0.1 million relates to legacy warrant expense, $5.6 million relates to non-founder stock compensation expense and $6.6 million relates to the Founders’ Post-IPO Performance Awards (“Founder PSUs”) as detailed in our Final Prospectus, dated June 29, 2021. The Founder PSUs are eligible to vest over a five-year period based on the achievement of pre-determined stock price goals ranging from $46.50 to $93 during measurement periods beginning June 2023 and ending June 2026. The Founder PSUs will be expensed through June 29, 2025 regardless of vesting probability. Second quarter 2022 net loss was ($12.3) million, net loss per common share basic and diluted was ($0.09). Second quarter 2022 adjusted net income was $0.5 million, adjusted net income per common share, basic and diluted was $0.00. Second quarter 2022 net cash provided by operating activities was $50.9 million, Free Cash Flow was $41.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $3.5 million. Because of CLEAR Plus revenue recognition policies described above, when Total Bookings are growing, net cash provided by operating activities and Free Cash Flow may exceed adjusted EBITDA and net income. As of June 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents, including marketable securities and restricted cash were $703.0 million. As of August 11, 2022, the following shares of common stock were outstanding: Class A Common Stock 82,539,208, Class B Common Stock 1,042,234, Class C Common Stock 39,944,382, and Class D Common Stock 26,459,821 totaling 149,985,645 shares of common stock. In total, common stock outstanding grew 2.2% year-over-year, but was flat when excluding the exercise of a total of 3.2 million warrants into Class A common stock by United Airlines in December 2021 and January 2022.


 
Clear Secure, Inc. | Q2 2022 | Page 8 Shareholder Letter Q2 2022 Third Quarter 2022 Guidance We expect third quarter 2022 revenue of $111-113 million and Total Bookings of $128-132 million. Our third quarter 2022 revenue and Total Bookings guidance exclude any contribution from the launch of our TSA PreCheck enrollment service, which we expect to launch in Q4 2022.

Clear Secure, Inc. | Q2 2022 | Page 12 Shareholder Letter Q2 2022 Definitions of Key Performance Indicators To evaluate performance of the business, we utilize a variety of other non-GAAP financial reporting and performance measures. These key measures include Total Bookings, Total Cumulative Enrollments, Total Cumulative Platform Uses, and Annual CLEAR Plus Net Member Retention. Total Bookings Total Bookings represent our total revenue plus the change in deferred revenue during the period. Total Bookings in any particular period reflect sales to new and renewing CLEAR Plus subscribers plus any accrued billings to partners. Management believes that Total Bookings is an important measure of the current health and growth of the business and views it as a leading indicator. Total Cumulative Enrollments We define Total Cumulative Enrollments as the number of enrollments since inception as of the end of the period. An Enrollment is defined as any member who has registered for the CLEAR platform since inception and has a profile (including limited time free trials regardless of conversion to paid membership) net of duplicate and/or purged accounts. This includes CLEAR Plus members who have completed enrollment with CLEAR and have ever activated a payment method, plus associated family accounts. Management views this metric as an important tool to analyze the efficacy of our growth and marketing initiatives as new members are potentially a current and leading indicator of revenues. Total Cumulative Platform Uses We define Total Cumulative Platform Uses as the number of individual engagements across CLEAR use cases, including in-airport verifications, since inception as of the end of the period. We also include airport lounge access verifications, sports and entertainment venue verifications and Health Pass surveys since inception as of the end of the period. Management views this metric as an important tool to analyze the level of engagement of our member base which can be a leading indicator of future growth, retention and revenue. Annual CLEAR Plus Net Member Retention We define Annual CLEAR Plus Net Member Retention as one minus the CLEAR Plus net member churn on a rolling 12 month basis. We define “CLEAR Plus net member churn” as total cancellations net of winbacks in the trailing 12 month period divided by the average active CLEAR Plus members as of the beginning of each month within the same 12 month period. Winbacks are defined as reactivated members who have been cancelled for at least 60 days. Active CLEAR Plus members are defined as members who have completed enrollment with CLEAR and have activated a payment method for our in-airport CLEAR Plus service, including their registered family plan members. Active CLEAR Plus members also include those in a grace period of up to 45 days after a billing failure during which time we attempt to collect updated payment information. Management views this metric as an important tool to analyze the level of engagement of our member base, which can be a leading indicator of future growth and revenue, as well as an indicator of customer satisfaction and long term business economics.


 
Clear Secure, Inc. | Q2 2022 | Page 13 Shareholder Letter Q2 2022 Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, Diluted as non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provide useful information to investors. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures are expressed in thousands. Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) We define Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for income taxes, interest (income) expense net, depreciation and amortization, losses on asset disposals, equity-based compensation expense, mark to market of warrant liabilities, other income (expense), net, acquisition-related costs and changes in fair value of contingent consideration. Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) is an important financial measure used by management and our board of directors in determining performance based compensation for our management and key employees. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as Net income (loss) attributable to Clear Secure, Inc. adjusted for the net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, equity-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and the income tax effect of these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is used in the calculation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share as defined below. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share We compute Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, Basic as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by Adjusted Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding for our Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock assuming the exchange of all vested and outstanding common units in Alclear at the end of each period presented. We do not present Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share for shares of our Class B Common Stock although they are participating securities based on the assumed conversion of those shares to our Class A Common Stock. We do not present Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share on a dilutive basis for periods where we have Adjusted Net Loss since we do not assume the conversion of any potentially dilutive equity instruments as the result would be antidilutive. In periods where we have Adjusted Net Income, the Company also calculates Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, Diluted based on the effect of potentially dilutive equity instruments for the periods presented using the treasury stock/ if converted method, as applicable. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share is only applicable for periods after June 29, 2021, post the Reorganization Transactions and IPO.


 
Clear Secure, Inc. | Q2 2022 | Page 14 Shareholder Letter Q2 2022 Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share (cont) Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share exclude, to the extent applicable, the tax effected impact of non-cash expenses and other items that are not directly related to our core operations. These items are excluded because they are connected to the Company’s long term growth plan and not intended to increase short term revenue in a specific period. Further, to the extent that other companies use similar methods in calculating non-GAAP measures, the provision of supplemental non-GAAP information can allow for a comparison of the company’s relative performance against other companies that also report non-GAAP operating results. Free Cash Flow We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment plus the value of share repurchases over fair value.
