Clear Secure announced that its CLEAR1 secure identity platform has achieved FedRAMP ‘In Process’ status at the Moderate impact level, a key step toward full authorization and access to U.S. federal agencies.
FedRAMP is the federal government’s standard for cloud security, and ‘In Process’ indicates that CLEAR1’s cloud environment is actively undergoing the formal authorization process. The designation signals that the platform meets rigorous security requirements and positions Clear Secure to bid on federal contracts that increasingly mandate FedRAMP compliance.
The announcement follows a strong Q4 2025 earnings report in which Clear Secure generated $240.8 million in revenue, up 16.7% year‑over‑year, and $0.31 in earnings per share, matching analyst expectations. Total bookings rose 25.4% to $287.1 million, and the adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 33.2%, a 870‑basis‑point gain driven by higher‑margin enterprise and healthcare deployments and disciplined cost management.
Management highlighted the financial momentum, noting that the company’s fourth‑quarter performance “gives us confidence in the step‑change growth that we expect in 2026, as we continue to expand margins and generate materially higher levels of free cash flow.” The commentary underscores the company’s confidence in sustaining growth while investing in new capabilities.
Investors responded positively to the earnings, with analysts revising outlooks upward and noting the company’s robust balance sheet and expanding partnership network. The FedRAMP designation further strengthens Clear Secure’s competitive position in the public‑sector market, where federal agencies are increasingly requiring cloud services to be FedRAMP‑authorized or demonstrably progressing toward authorization.
The combination of a strong financial foundation and a critical regulatory milestone positions Clear Secure to capture new federal opportunities while continuing to grow its commercial identity verification business across travel, healthcare, and digital services.
