“We delivered a solid third quarter, driven by strong momentum and customer adoption of our new AI-powered Thryv Growth Platform™,” said Joe Walsh, CEO of Thryv. “As a result of the upcoming sale of our print directories business and our ongoing strategic restructuring, Thryv is now positioned to operate as a pure-play SaaS company. Looking ahead, we remain focused on execution, optimizing our cost structure, reducing outstanding debt and other liabilities, and further strengthening our balance sheet and financial profile.”

Seasoned NRR is calculated by dividing the revenue of all clients that have had one or more SaaS offerings for at least two years as of the last month of the year or quarter, as applicable, by the same clients' revenue one year ago. For each reporting quarter, the weighted-average monthly NRR from all the months in the quarter are reported. Seasoned NRR excludes clients acquired in the Keap acquisition. |
6 |
|
Defined as total client billings for a particular month divided by the number of clients that have one or more revenue-generating solutions in that same month. This is a weighted-average calculation and inclusive of the impact from the Keap acquisition. |
Print Divestiture
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company made the strategic decision to exit its Marketing Services business by the end of 2028 as part of its plan to fully transition into a SaaS-driven business model. In connection with this strategy, on September 12, 2026, Thryv, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Coldwater YP, LLC (the “Purchaser”), an affiliate of Carolwood, L.P., pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell the assets of its print Yellow Pages and print White Pages directories in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, the digital editions of those print directories, and Australia White Pages online (collectively, the “Print Business”) for a cash purchase price of $142.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the “Print Transaction”). The Print Transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to certain closing conditions.
As the Print Transaction represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, the Print Business' financial position and results of operations are presented as discontinued operations herein and comparable prior periods have been recast to reflect this change. Unless otherwise noted, all activities and amounts reported in this earnings release relate to the Company's continuing operations and exclude activities and amounts related to the Print Business. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, of our Q3 2026 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding discontinued operations.
Q3 2026 SaaS Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Updated for Impact of Discontinued Operations
Subsequent to us issuing SaaS Adjusted EBITDA guidance for third quarter of 2026 on August 4, 2026, we entered into the Purchase Agreement for the sale of the Print Business. At the time we issued the Q3 2026 SaaS Adjusted EBITDA guidance, we prepared the guidance using the historical cost allocation approach, which allocates shared costs of the SaaS segment and the Marketing Services segment based on each segment’s percentage of revenue. Because the vast majority of the Marketing Services segment’s Q3 2026 revenue is now reported as discontinued operations, approximately 94% of these shared costs from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2026 are now allocated to the SaaS segment, thereby reducing the SaaS segment’s reported Q3 2026 Adjusted EBITDA.
To allow comparability between the Q3 2026 SaaS Adjusted EBITDA guidance issued on August 4, 2026 and the reported Q3 2026 SaaS Adjusted EBITDA that includes the impact of classifying the Print Business as discontinued operations, the following reconciliation shows what Thryv’s SaaS segment third quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance would have been had the Print Business been reported as discontinued operations at the time the guidance was issued:

Reflects our originally reported third quarter 2026 forward-looking non-GAAP guidance from August 4, 2026. |
8 |
|
Reflects the cost allocation adjustment lowering the third quarter SaaS EBITDA guidance for the presentation of the Print Business as discontinued operations. Historically, Thryv's shared costs were allocated based on each segments' percentage of revenue. However, under GAAP, only costs directly related to the Print Business, such as printing, publishing, distribution and headcount costs, can be classified as discontinued operations. |

These statements are forward-looking and actual results may materially differ. Refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to materially differ from these forward-looking statements. |
11 |
|
SaaS and Marketing Service Adjusted EBITDA are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measurers. We calculate forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. We have not provided quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because the excluded items are not available on a prospective basis without unreasonable effort. |

Non-GAAP Measures
Our results included in this press release include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow, which are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow because management believes they provide useful information to investors in gaining an overall understanding of our current financial performance and provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. Specifically, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors by excluding certain non-operating items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as measuring the Company’s performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow provide investors with the financial measures that closely align with our internal processes.
We define Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as Loss from continuing operations plus Interest expense, Income tax expense (benefit), Depreciation and amortization expense, Restructuring and integration expenses, Stock-based compensation expense, and non-operating expenses, such as Net periodic pension cost, impairment charges, and certain unusual and non-recurring charges that might have been incurred. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to Loss from continuing operations as a performance measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We define Adjusted Gross Profit (“Adjusted Gross Profit”) as Gross profit adjusted to exclude the impact of Depreciation and amortization expense and Stock-based compensation expense. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less additions to fixed assets and capitalized software.
Non-GAAP financial information has limitations as an analytical tool and is presented for supplemental informational purposes only. Such information should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, Loss from continuing operations:

These statements are not guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the risks related to the following: significant competition for our Marketing Services solutions and SaaS offerings, which include companies that use components of our SaaS offerings provided by third parties; our ability to maintain profitability; our ability to manage our growth effectively; our ability to transition our Marketing Services clients to our Thryv platform, maintain transitioned clients on that platform and sell them additional or upgraded products, sell our platform into new markets or further penetrate existing markets; our ability to maintain our strategic relationships with third-party service providers; internet search engines and portals potentially terminating or materially altering their agreements with us; our ability to keep pace with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards; our SMBs clients potentially opting not to renew their agreements with us or renewing at lower spend; potential system interruptions or failures, including cybersecurity breaches, identity theft, data loss, unauthorized access to data or other disruptions that could compromise our information; our potential failure to identify suitable acquisition candidates and consummate such acquisitions; our ability to complete acquisitions and the successful integration of such acquisitions, and any failure of an acquired business to achieve its plans and objectives or realize any expected benefit from any such acquisition; the risk that the Print Transaction may not be completed on the anticipated terms or timeline, or at all, including as a result of the failure to satisfy applicable closing conditions; our ability to successfully execute our restructuring initiatives and realize the anticipated cost savings, efficiencies and other benefits from such initiatives within the expected timeframe, or at all; our ability to achieve the anticipated financial, operational and strategic benefits of the Print Transaction and our other strategic initiatives, including our ability to successfully transition to and operate our continuing businesses following completion of the Print Transaction; the level of our indebtedness and our ability to service our debt, comply with the covenants under our debt agreements, obtain any necessary waivers or amendments and reduce our leverage as anticipated, including through the use of proceeds from the Print Transaction; the potential loss of one or more key employees or our inability to attract and to retain highly skilled employees; our ability to maintain the compatibility of our Thryv platform with third-party applications; our ability to successfully expand our operations and current offerings into new markets, including internationally, or further penetrate existing markets; our potential failure to provide new or enhanced functionality and features; our potential failure to comply with applicable privacy, security and data laws, regulations and standards; potential changes in regulations governing privacy concerns and laws or other domestic or foreign data protection regulations; our potential failure to meet service level commitments under our client contracts; our potential failure to offer high-quality or technical support services; our Thryv platform and add-ons potentially failing to perform properly; our use of artificial intelligence in our business, and challenges with properly managing its use, could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability; the potential impact of future labor negotiations; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, proprietary technology, information, processes, and know-how; rising inflation and our ability to control costs, including operating expenses; general macro-economic conditions, including a recession or an economic slowdown in the U.S. or internationally; adverse tax laws or regulations or potential changes to existing tax laws or regulations; costs, liabilities and reputational harm resulting from regulatory investigations, including the subpoena from the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); volatility and weakness in bank and capital markets; and costs, obligations and liabilities incurred as a result of and in connection with being a public company as well as the risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements.
If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. For these reasons, we caution you against relying on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof and, other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
