General

Thryv Holdings, Inc. (“Thryv” or the “Company”) provides small-to-medium sized businesses (“SMBs”) with print and digital marketing services and Software as a Service (“SaaS”) business management tools. The Company owns and operates Print Yellow Pages (“PYP” or “Print”) and digital marketing services (“Digital”), which includes Internet Yellow Pages (“IYP”), search engine marketing (“SEM”), and other digital media services, including online display advertising, and search engine optimization (“SEO”) tools. In addition, through the Thryv® platform, the Company is a provider of SaaS business management tools designed for SMBs.

On January, 21, 2022, the Company acquired Vivial Media Holdings, Inc. (“Vivial”), a marketing and advertising company with operations in the United States. Additionally, on March 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Sensis Holding Limited (“Thryv Australia”), a provider of marketing solutions serving SMBs in Australia.

The Company reports its results based on three reportable segments (see Note 15, Segment Information):

Marketing Services, which includes the Company's Print and Digital solutions businesses;
SaaS, which includes the Company's flagship SMB end-to-end customer experience platform; and
Thryv International, which is comprised of the Thryv Australia business, Australia's leading provider of marketing solutions serving SMBs, and SaaS business management tools for SMBs in Australia.

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the complete financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Thryv Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items and accruals, necessary for the fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statementsThe consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited annual financial statements. The consolidated results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. The results of those estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities.

Examples of reported amounts that rely on significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, capitalized costs to obtain a contract, certain amounts relating to the accounting for income taxes, including valuation allowance, indemnification asset, stock-based compensation expense, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, accrued service credits, and pension obligations. Significant estimates are also used in determining the recoverability and fair value of fixed assets and capitalized software, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill and intangible assets.
Due to the novel strain of coronavirus, commonly referred to as COVID-19 (“COVID-19”) and the uncertainty of the extent of the impacts related thereto, certain estimates and assumptions may require increased judgment. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, these estimates may change in future periods. It is difficult to predict what the ongoing impact of the pandemic will be on future periods.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the adoption of ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”), as described below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the significant accounting policies included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (2021 Form 10-K).

Total Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $23,809 $29,841 $13,557 

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operating subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expense accounts are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates during the period.

Transaction gains or losses in currencies other than the functional currency are included as a component of Other income (expense), net in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires companies to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination, in accordance with the revenue recognition guidance, as if the acquirer had entered into the original contract at the same time, and on the same terms, as the acquiree. Generally, this will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree as of the acquisition date. Under the current standard, an acquirer generally recognizes such items at fair value on the acquisition date. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2022 and applied it to the contract assets and liabilities acquired from Vivial.
