Clear Secure, Inc. | Q3 2024 | Page 7 Shareholder Letter Q3 2024 Dear Shareholder, CLEAR is a secure identity network and we’re shaping the future of identity. In today’s world, the urgency for secure and frictionless experiences is the same whether it’s travel, healthcare, financial services, or retail—physically and digitally. Trusted identity—connecting you to all the things that make YOU you— is the key to safer and easier experiences for our Members and our partners. Trust and security are paramount in the increasingly digital world that we live in—ensuring true identity is critical. Identity fraud, account takeovers, and theft, along with their derivative costs are growing rapidly. The digital landscape is ever more complex, and a secure, trusted identity is not just a convenience—it’s an absolute necessity. AI is a favorite phrase right now, and at CLEAR, we see AI as a powerful tool to optimize our operations, but we are also looking at AI from a different angle—Artificial Identity. As more sensitive information is shared and accessed online, the rise of synthetic identities adds another layer of complexity. The need for accurate and secure identity verification has never been greater. CLEAR’s enterprise identity expansion continued this quarter across existing and new customers. We announced our integration with Okta, enabling enterprise clients to easily implement CLEAR’s platform for a seamless and secure biometric factor authentication—verifying the person behind the device. There is a pressing need for secure solutions in workforce identity and access particularly in regulated industries and critical infrastructure. This quarter, we launched our employee identity product with a major telecom company reflecting the need to better secure the workforce. On the consumer side, we have rolled out rider verification with Uber, helping build trust across Uber’s platform by giving their drivers peace of mind. Travel trends remain strong and we continue to see it as a secular growth industry. We expect travel spending to remain healthy and think spending on experiences will continue to be a bright spot in the economy. The CLEAR Plus Member experience continues to improve across the network. Next up, our new EnVe (enrollment and verification) hardware is rolling out across the country—Members will love our new speedy, face-first experience. Meeting travelers where they are—both inside and outside the airport—is helping drive scale for TSA PreCheck® Enrollment Provided by CLEAR. Now live in 62 locations, the consumer response is strong and we will continue to optimize the enrollment funnel, driving higher completion rates, and improved Member experience. Looking ahead to 2025, we are excited by the multi-faceted growth opportunities across our secure identity network as we continue to drive bookings, expand margins, and accelerate free cash flow. With a strong foundation in place and a clear vision for the future, CLEAR is well-positioned to continue delivering value for our Members, partners, and shareholders. Best,

Clear Secure, Inc. | Q3 2024 | Page 14 Shareholder Letter Q3 2024 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, Annual CLEAR Plus Net Member Retention, Annual CLEAR Plus Gross Dollar Retention, Active CLEAR Plus Members, and Annual CLEAR Plus Member Usage. 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 CLEAR Plus, our flagship app and CLEAR Verified, 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. Active CLEAR Plus Members We define Active CLEAR Plus Members as the number of members with an active CLEAR Plus subscription as of the end of the period. This includes CLEAR Plus members who have an activated payment method, plus associated family accounts and is inclusive of members who are in a limited time free trial or in a billing grace period after a billing failure during which time we attempt to collect payment; we exclude duplicate and/or purged accounts. Management views this as an important tool to measure the growth of its CLEAR Plus product. Annual CLEAR Plus Gross Dollar Retention We define Annual CLEAR Plus Gross Dollar Retention as the net bookings collected from a Fixed Cohort of Members during the Current Period as a percentage of the net bookings collected from the same Fixed Cohort during the Prior Period. The Current Period is the 12-month period ending on the reporting date, the Prior Period is the 12-month period ending on the reporting date one year earlier. The Fixed Cohort is defined as all Active CLEAR Plus Members as of the last day of the Prior Period Definitions of Key Performance Indicators

Clear Secure, Inc. | Q3 2024 | Page 15 Shareholder Letter Q3 2024 In addition to our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share, Basic and 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, 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. We periodically reassess the components of our Non-GAAP adjustments for changes in how we evaluate our performance and changes in how we make financial and operational decisions to ensure the adjustments remain relevant and meaningful. Non-GAAP Financial Measures who have activated a payment method for our in-airport CLEAR Plus service, including their registered family plan Members. Bookings received from a third party as part of a partnership agreement are excluded from both periods. Active CLEAR Plus Members, including those on a free or discounted plan, or who receive a full statement credit, only impact Annual CLEAR Plus Gross Dollar Retention to the extent that they are paying anything out-of-pocket on behalf of themselves or a registered family plan Member. Management views this metric to be reflective of our business objective of optimizing revenue and less dependent upon the underlying growth rate of the total membership base. 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. 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. Annual CLEAR Plus Member Usage We define Annual CLEAR Plus Member Usage as the total number of unique CLEAR Plus airport verifications in the 365 days prior to the end of the period divided by active CLEAR Plus Members as of the end of the period who have been enrolled for at least 365 days. The numerator includes only verifications of the population in the denominator. Management views this as an important tool to analyze the level of engagement of our active CLEAR Plus Member base. Definitions of Key Performance Indicators (Cont.)

Clear Secure, Inc. | Q3 2024 | Page 16 Shareholder Letter Q3 2024 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for income taxes, interest (income) expense net, depreciation and amortization, impairment and losses on asset disposals, equity-based compensation expense, mark to market of warrant liabilities, net other income (expense) excluding sublease rental income, acquisition-related costs and changes in fair value of contingent consideration. Adjusted EBITDA is an important financial measure used by management and our board of directors (“Board”) to evaluate business performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in evaluating the performance of the Company’s core operations by excluding certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, we revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude sublease rental income from our other income (expense) adjustment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to include impairment on assets as a separate component. We did not revise prior years' Adjusted EBITDA because there was no impact of a similar nature in the prior period that affects comparability. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA, divided by total revenues. Adjusted Net Income We define Adjusted Net Income as net income attributable to Clear Secure, Inc. adjusted for the net income 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, using an effective tax rate. We believe these adjustments assist investors in evaluating the performance of the Company’s core operations assuming the exchange of all vested and outstanding common units in Alclear. In addition, this measure, while not necessarily calculated in the same way as similarly titled measures used by other companies, facilitates comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures. Adjusted Net Income is used in the calculation of Adjusted Net Income per Common Share as defined below. Adjusted Net Income per Common Share We compute Adjusted Net Income per Common Share, Basic as Adjusted Net Income 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 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 per Common Share on a dilutive basis for periods where we have Adjusted Net Income since we do not assume the conversion of any potentially dilutive equity instruments as the result would be anti-dilutive. In periods where we have Adjusted Net Income, the Company also calculates Adjusted Net Income 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. Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Cont.)

Clear Secure, Inc. | Q3 2024 | Page 17 Shareholder Letter Q3 2024 Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income 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. We believe these adjustments assist investors in evaluating the performance of the Company’s core operations assuming the exchange of all vested and outstanding common units in Alclear. 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 operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful information to management and investors about the Company’s liquidity and cash flow trends. With regards to our CLEAR Plus subscription service, we generally collect cash from our members upfront for annual subscriptions. As a result, when the business is growing Free Cash Flow can be a real time indicator of the current trajectory of the business. See below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measures.
