Clear Secure recently released its 10-Q report. The company operates the CLEAR secure identity platform, mainly in the United States, with front-end enrollment, verification and linking tools supported by back-end infrastructure. Its offerings include CLEAR+, a consumer aviation subscription service, along with the CLEAR mobile app, RESERVE powered by CLEAR, Home to Gate, CLEAR1, CLEAR ID, CLEAR Concierge, CLEAR Perks, TSA PreCheck Enrollment Provided by CLEAR, Sora ID and virtual queuing technology.

In Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Clear Secure said the quarterly report should be read with its 2025 annual report and noted that the discussion includes forward-looking statements. The company said its results depend heavily on growing Total CLEAR Members, retaining CLEAR+ subscribers, adding and keeping partners, timing new product and location launches, managing expenses and maintaining unit economics. It also said its business is affected by macroeconomic conditions, travel demand, government policy and regulation, and TSA checkpoint processes, including randomized reverification rates.

Clear Secure said Total Bookings rose to $295.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $222.9 million a year earlier, an increase of $73.0 million, or 33%. For the first six months of 2026, Total Bookings increased to $587.6 million from $430.1 million, up $157.5 million, or 37%. Management attributed both increases primarily to growth in Active CLEAR+ Members and price increases.

The company said its growth strategy relies on multiple member-acquisition channels, including airports, digital channels, and distribution partnerships with Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines and American Express. It said the American Express partnership, first entered into in 2019, was renewed in February 2026 on a multi-year basis. The company also said it expects increased compensation expense, including equity awards under its 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and continued payments under its tax receivable agreement with Alclear Members equal to 85% of certain tax savings it realizes. Following these announcements, the company's shares moved 8.0%, and are now trading at a price of $60.19. For more information, read the company's full 10-Q submission here.
