We are focused on growing Total CLEAR Members and the number of Members that engage with our platform. Our operating results and growth opportunities depend, in part, on our ability to attract new Members, including paying Members (CLEAR+ Members) as well as new platform Members. We rely on multiple channels to attract new CLEAR+ Members, including in-airport (our largest channel) which in turn is dependent on the ongoing ability of our Ambassadors to successfully engage with the traveling public. We also rely on numerous digital channels such as our website, mobile app and paid search. We also entered into strategic distribution partnerships with partners such as Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and American Express that promote our services to their customers on a discounted or subsidized basis which helps us to efficiently scale membership in CLEAR+. Through our partnership with American Express, eligible card members receive statement credits for all or a portion of their CLEAR Plus membership. We initially entered into our partnership with American Express in 2019. In February 2026, we executed a multi-year renewal of the partnership with American Express. In many cases, we offer limited time trials to new Members who may convert to paying Members upon the completion of their trial. Our future success is dependent on those channels continuing to drive new Members and our ability to convert trial Members into paying Members.
