CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Such statements are provided under the “safe harbor” protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include, without limitation, statements concerning the conditions of our industry and our operations, performance, and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business, growth strategies, product development efforts, and future expenses. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and generally can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “likely,” “may,” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance, such as those contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, we caution you against relying on forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national, or global political, economic, business, competitive, market, and regulatory conditions and the following:
•significant competition for our Marketing Services solutions and SaaS offerings, including from 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, 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 small to medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) clients potentially opting not to renew their agreements with us or renewing at lower spend;
•potential system interruptions or failures, including cyber-security 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 successfully integrate acquired businesses into our operations or recognize the benefits of acquisitions, including the failure of an acquired business to achieve its plans and objectives;

Note 1 Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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, communication, and marketing tools designed for SMBs.
On April 3, 2023, Thryv New Zealand Limited, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired Yellow Holdings Limited (“Yellow”), a New Zealand marketing services company.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company changed the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). As a result, the Company reevaluated its segment reporting and determined that Thryv U.S. Marketing Services and Thryv International Marketing Services should be reflected as a single reportable segment, and that Thryv U.S. SaaS and Thryv International SaaS should be reflected as a single reportable segment. As such, beginning on January 1, 2024, the results of our Marketing Services and SaaS businesses will be presented as two reportable segments. Comparative prior periods have been recast to reflect the current presentation.
The Company reports its results based on two reportable segments (see Note 15, Segment Information):
•Thryv Marketing Services, which includes the Company's Print and Digital solutions business; and
•Thryv SaaS, which includes the Company's SaaS flagship all-in-one small business management modular software platform.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 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, 2023.
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.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company describes its significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Restricted Cash
The following table presents a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Company's consolidated balance sheets to the amount shown in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Note 2 Acquisitions
Yellow New Zealand Acquisition
On April 3, 2023 (the “Yellow Acquisition Date”), Thryv New Zealand Limited, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired Yellow, a New Zealand marketing services company for $8.9 million in cash (net of $1.7 million of cash acquired), subject to certain adjustments (the “Yellow Acquisition”). The Yellow Acquisition expanded the Company's market share with a broader geographical footprint and provided the Company with an increase in our clients. Yellow is a provider of marketing solutions serving SMBs in New Zealand. Control was obtained by means of acquiring all the voting interests. The assets acquired consisted primarily of $2.4 million in current assets and $5.6 million in fixed and intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer relationships, trade name, and technology assets, along with $5.1 million in goodwill. The Company also assumed liabilities of $4.7 million, consisting primarily of accrued, contract, and deferred liabilities.
The Company accounted for the Yellow Acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). This requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at fair value. With the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, the Company determined, using Level 3 inputs (see Note 4, Fair Value Measurements), the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including fixed assets and intangible assets by applying the income approach and the cost approach. Specific to intangible assets, client relationships were valued using a combination of the income and excess earnings approach, whereas trade names were valued using a relief of royalty method and assumptions related to Yellow's assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values of existing technologies were computed using a relief of royalty approach, similar to the trade name valuation.
The following table summarizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Yellow Acquisition Date:
| | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | | |
Current assets | | $ | 2,438 | |
Fixed and intangible assets | | 5,565 | |
| | |
Other assets | | 457 | |
Current liabilities | | (3,533) | |
Other liabilities | | (1,159) | |
Goodwill | | 5,129 | |
Fair value allocated to net assets acquired | | $ | 8,897 | |
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. The recognized goodwill of $5.1 million was primarily related to the benefits expected from the acquisition and was allocated to the Thryv Marketing Services segment. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for income tax purposes.
Note 3 Revenue Recognition
The Company has determined that each of its Print and Digital marketing services and SaaS business management tools services is distinct and represents a separate performance obligation. The client can benefit from each service on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the client. Services are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Control over the Company’s Print services transfers to the client upon delivery of the published directories containing their advertisements to the intended market(s). Therefore, revenue associated with Print services is recognized at a point in time upon delivery to the intended market(s). The Company bills clients for Print advertising services monthly over the relative contract term. The difference between the timing of recognition of Print advertising revenue and monthly billing generates the Company’s unbilled receivables balance. The unbilled receivables balance is reclassified as billed accounts receivable through the passage of time as the clients are invoiced each month. SaaS and Digital marketing services are recognized using the series guidance. Under the series guidance, the Company's obligation to provide services is the same for each day under the contract, and therefore represents a single performance obligation. Revenue associated with SaaS and Digital marketing services is recognized over time using an output method to measure the progress toward satisfying a performance obligation.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company presents disaggregated revenue based on the type of service within its segment footnote. See Note 15, Segment Information.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing to the Company’s clients. These timing differences result in receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) as disclosed on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets represent the Company's right to consideration when revenue recognized exceeds the receivable from the client because the consideration allocated to fulfilled performance obligations exceeds the Company’s right to payment, and the right to payment is subject to more than the passage of time. Contract liabilities represent remaining performance obligations that consist of advance payments and revenue deferrals resulting from the allocation of the consideration to performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue on all of its remaining performance obligations within the next twelve months. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $8.3 million and $36.8 million, respectively, that was recorded in Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $9.2 million and $39.0 million, respectively, that was recorded in Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2022.
Note 4 Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions incorporated into valuation techniques.
These valuations require significant judgment.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. When there is more than one input at different levels within the hierarchy, the fair value is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires substantial judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are inherently difficult to estimate. Changes to these inputs can have a significant impact on fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques: market approach, income approach or cost approach.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company’s non-financial assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, fixed assets, capitalized software and operating lease right-of-use assets are adjusted to fair value when the net book values of the assets exceed their respective fair values, resulting in an impairment charge. Such fair value measurements are predominantly based on Level 3 inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Indemnification Asset
On June 30, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of YP Holdings, Inc. (the “YP Acquisition”). As further discussed in Note 13, Contingent Liabilities, as part of the YP Acquisition agreement, the Company was indemnified for an uncertain tax position for up to the fair value of 1,804,715 shares held in escrow, subject to certain contract limitations (the “indemnification asset”).
On June 22, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the sellers regarding the settlement of the indemnification asset. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company and the sellers agreed (i) that the sellers would pay and indemnify the Company for $15.8 million of indemnified taxes (the “Indemnity Amount”) and (ii) that the Indemnity Amount would be deemed satisfied by the transfer of 613,954 outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from the sellers back to the Company, which were returned to treasury and reduced the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Furthermore, the sellers would be entitled to retain 1,190,761 currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock that previously secured the sellers' tax indemnity obligations under the YP Acquisition agreement.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company no longer recorded a Level 1 indemnification asset because it was settled on June 22, 2023. A loss of $11.5 million and $10.7 million from the change in fair value of the Company’s Level 1 indemnification asset during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was recorded in General and administrative expense on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The $15.8 million Indemnity Amount, which was the fair value of the shares returned to treasury, was recorded in Treasury stock on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, along with the 613,954 shares that the Company received from the sellers, as of June 30, 2023.
Benefit Plan Assets
The fair value of benefit plan assets is measured and recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets using Level 2 inputs. See Note 9, Pensions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company considers the carrying amounts of cash, trade receivables, and accounts payable to approximate fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization or payment.
Additionally, the Company considers the carrying amounts of its New ABL Facility and Prior ABL Facility (each as defined in Note 8, Debt Obligations) and financing obligations to approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature and approximation of interest rates to market rates. These fair value measurements are considered Level 2. See Note 8, Debt Obligations.
The New Term Loan and Prior Term Loan (each as defined in Note 8, Debt Obligations) are carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair value of the New Term Loan and Prior Term Loan for disclosure purposes. The fair values of the New Term Loan and Prior Term Loan are determined based on quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace and are classified as Level 2 measurements. See Note 8, Debt Obligations.
The following table sets forth the carrying amount and fair value of the New Term Loan and Prior Term Loan:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |

(1) Yellow was included in the Thryv Marketing Services reporting unit.
In the first quarter of 2024, the Company changed its reporting structure from four to two reporting units. Accordingly, the Company assessed its goodwill for impairment under a four reporting unit structure prior to the assessment. Upon completion of this assessment, the Company determined that no impairment existed. Subsequent to this review and after allocating goodwill to the new reporting units based on relative fair value, the Company reassessed goodwill for impairment at the new reporting unit level (i.e., the Marketing Services and SaaS reporting units). Based upon each of these assessments, the Company determined no impairment existed for any of the Company's reporting units.

Term Loan
On May 1, 2024, the Company entered into a new Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “New Term Loan”), the proceeds of which were used to refinance and pay off in full the Company’s previous term loan facility (the “Prior Term Loan”) and to pay fees and expenses related to the refinancing.
The New Term Loan established a senior secured term loan facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $350.0 million, of which 31.8% was held by a related party who was an equity holder of the Company as of May 1, 2024. The Company defines a related party as any shareholder owning more than 5% of the Company's voting securities. As of June 30, 2024, 31.8% of the New Term Loan was held by a related party who was an equity holder of the Company as of that date.
The New Term Loan Facility matures on May 1, 2029 and borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, SOFR or base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin per annum equal to (i) 6.75% (for SOFR loans) and (ii) 5.75% (for base rate loans). The New Term Loan Facility requires mandatory amortization payments, paid quarterly commencing June 30, 2024, equal to (i) $52.5 million per year for the first two years following the closing date of the New Term Loan, and (ii) $35.0 million per year thereafter.
The New Term Loan, which was incurred by Thryv, Inc., the Company’s operating subsidiary, is secured by all the assets of Thryv, Inc., certain of its subsidiaries and the Company, and is guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.
The net proceeds from the New Term Loan of $337.6 million (net of original issue discount costs of $6.3 million and third-party fees of $6.1 million) were used to repay the remaining $300.0 million outstanding principal balance of the Prior Term Loan, accrued interest of $3.8 million, and third-party fees of $0.6 million. The Company accounted for this transaction as a modification for lenders that were party to both the Prior Term Loan and New Term Loan. The debt of the new lenders that were party to the New Term Loan are new issuances, while the other lenders that were party to only the Prior Term Loan were accounted for as an extinguishment.
Accordingly, total third-party fees paid were $6.1 million, of which $2.0 million was immediately charged to General and administrative expense on the Company's consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. The remaining third-party fees of $4.1 million were deferred as debt issuance costs and will be amortized to interest expense, over the term of the New Term Loan, using the effective interest method. Additionally, there were unamortized debt issuance costs which includes third-party fees and original issue discount costs of $7.8 million on the Prior Term Loan, of which $5.4 million was written off and recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt on the Company's consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.4 million were deferred as debt issuance costs and will be amortized to interest expense, over the term of the New Term Loan, using the effective interest method.
The Company has recorded accrued interest of $0.2 million and $1.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Accrued interest is included in Other current liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Term Loan Covenants
The New Term Loan Facility contains certain covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit or restrict the Company’s ability to, among others, incur additional indebtedness, guarantees and liens; make investments, loans and advances; dispose of assets and make sale-leaseback transactions; enter into swap agreements; make payments of dividends and other distributions; make payments in respect of certain indebtedness; enter into certain affiliate transactions and restrictive amendments to certain agreements; change its lines of business; amend certain material documents; consummate certain mergers, consolidations and liquidations; and use the proceeds of the term loans.
Additionally, the Company is required to maintain compliance with (a) a maximum “Total Net Leverage Ratio”, calculated as the ratio of “Consolidated Total Net Indebtedness” to “Consolidated EBITDA” (in each case, as defined in the New Term Loan, which shall not be 3.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and (b) a minimum “SaaS Revenue” (as defined in the New Term Loan), which shall not be less than the quarterly thresholds set forth in the New Term Loan Agreement as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its New Term Loan covenants. The Company also expects to be in compliance with these covenants for the next twelve months.
ABL Facility
On May 1, 2024, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”), which established a new $85.0 million asset-based revolving loan facility (the “New ABL Facility”). The New ABL Facility refinanced the Company’s previous asset-based revolving loan facility (the “Prior ABL Facility”). Proceeds of the New ABL Facility may be used by the Company for ongoing general corporate purposes and working capital.
The New ABL Facility matures on May 1, 2028 and borrowings under the New ABL Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, SOFR or base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin per annum, depending on the average excess availability under the New ABL Facility, equal to (i) 2.50% to 2.75% (for SOFR loans) and (ii) 1.50% to 1.75% (for base rate loans). The fee for undrawn commitments under the New ABL Facility is equal to 0.375% per annum.
The Company accounted for this transaction as an extinguishment of the Prior ABL Facility. Total third-party fees and lender fees of $1.2 million associated with the New ABL Facility, were deferred as debt issuance costs and will be amortized as interest expense, over the term of the New ABL Facility. Additionally, the unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Prior ABL Facility of $1.2 million, were written off and recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt on the Company's consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had debt issuance costs with a remaining balance of $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. These debt issuance costs are included in Other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had borrowing base availability of $64.8 million. As a result of certain restrictions in the Company's debt agreements, as of June 30, 2024, approximately $54.2 million was available to be drawn upon under the New ABL Facility.
ABL Facility Covenants
The ABL Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit or restrict the Company’s ability to, among others, incur additional indebtedness, guarantees and liens; make investments, loans and advances; dispose of assets and make sale-leaseback transactions; enter into swap agreements; make payments of dividends and other distributions; make payments in respect of certain indebtedness; enter into certain affiliate transactions and restrictive amendments to certain agreements; change its lines of business; amend certain material documents; consummate certain mergers, consolidations and liquidations; and use the proceeds of the revolving loans.
Additionally, the Company is required to maintain compliance with (a) a minimum “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”, calculated as the ratio of “Consolidated EBITDA” minus unfinanced capital expenditures to “Fixed Charges” (in each case, as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement), which shall not be less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and
(b) a minimum “Excess Availability” (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) of at least $8.5 million at all times. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its ABL Credit Agreement covenants. The Company also expects to be in compliance with these covenants for the next twelve months.
Note 9 Pensions
The Company maintains pension obligations associated with non-contributory defined benefit pension plans that are currently frozen and incur no additional service costs.
The Company immediately recognizes actuarial gains and losses in its operating results in the period in which the gains and losses occur. The Company estimates the interest cost component of net periodic pension cost by utilizing a full yield curve approach and applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligations of the relevant projected cash flows. This method provides a more precise measurement of interest costs by improving the correlation between projected cash flows to the corresponding spot yield curve rates.
Net Periodic Pension Cost
The following table details the other components of net periodic pension cost for the Company's pension plans:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
(in thousands) | 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Interest cost | $ | 4,824 | | | $ | 7,406 | | | $ | 9,648 | | | $ | 10,910 | |
Expected return on assets | (3,243) | | | (3,778) | | | (6,486) | | | (7,161) | |
Settlement (gain) | — | | | (420) | | | — | | | (420) | |
Remeasurement (gain) | — | | | (1,343) | | | — | | | (1,343) | |
Net periodic pension cost | $ | 1,581 | | | $ | 1,865 | | | $ | 3,162 | | | $ | 1,986 | |
Since all pension plans are frozen and no employees accrue future pension benefits under any of the pension plans, the rate of compensation increase assumption is no longer needed. The Company determines the weighted-average discount rate by applying a yield curve comprised of the yields on several hundred high-quality, fixed income corporate bonds available on the measurement date to expected future benefit cash flows.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a settlement gain of $0.4 million, and as a result of an interim actuarial valuation due to the settlement of one of the Company's pension plans, the Company recognized a remeasurement gain of $1.3 million.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made no contributions to the qualified plans and contributions and associated payments of $0.1 million and $0.3 million to the non-qualified plans. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company made no cash contributions to the qualified plans, and contributions and associated payments of $0.1 million and $0.3 million to the non-qualified plans.
For the fiscal year 2024, the Company does not expect to make a contribution to the qualified plans and expects to contribute approximately $0.5 million to the non-qualified plans.

Restricted Stock Units
The following table sets forth the Company's restricted stock unit (“RSU”) activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of Restricted Stock Units | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value | | |
| | | | | |
Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2023 | 992,464 | | $ | 21.52 | | | | | |
Granted | 891,598 | | 18.42 | | | | |
Vested | (430,520) | | 22.13 | | | | |
Forfeited | (222,999) | | 19.32 | | | | |
Nonvested balance as of June 30, 2024 | 1,230,543 | | $ | 19.46 | | | | | |
The Company grants RSUs to the Company's employees and non-employee directors under the Company’s 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”). Pursuant to the RSU award agreements, each RSU entitles the recipient to one share of the Company’s common stock, subject to time-based vesting conditions set forth in individual agreements.
The fair value of each RSU grant is determined based upon the market closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The RSUs vest over the requisite service period, which ranges between one year and three years from the date of grant, subject to the continued employment of the employees and services of the non-employee board members.
As of June 30, 2024, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company's RSU awards was approximately $19.1 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.98 years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 430,520 shares of common stock to employees and non-employee directors upon the vesting of RSUs previously granted under the 2020 Plan.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
The following table sets forth the Company's performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”) activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value | | |
| | | | | |
Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2023 | 1,130,779 | | $ | 23.68 | | | | | |
Granted | 693,936 | | 18.89 | | | | |
Vested | (122,241) | | 26.33 | | | | |
Forfeited | (352,116) | | 22.31 | | | | |
Nonvested balance as of June 30, 2024 | 1,350,358 | | $ | 21.85 | | | | | |
The Company also grants PSUs to employees under the Company’s 2020 Plan. Pursuant to the PSU Award Agreement, each PSU entitles the recipient to up to 1.5 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain performance measures set forth in individual agreements.
The PSUs will vest, if at all, following the achievement of certain performance measures over a three year performance period, relative to certain performance and market conditions. The grant date fair value of PSUs that vest relative to a performance condition is measured based upon the market closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and expensed on a straight-line basis when it becomes probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied, net of forfeitures, over the service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting term of three years. The grant date fair value of PSUs that vest relative to a market condition is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model and expensed on a straight-line basis, net of forfeitures, over the service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting term of three years. As of June 30, 2024, the nonvested balance of PSUs that vest based on performance and market conditions are 729,894 and 1,094,821 shares, respectively.
As of June 30, 2024, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company's PSU awards was approximately $15.1 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.64 years.
Stock Options
As of June 30, 2024, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company's stock options was approximately $0.2 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.29 years. As of June 30, 2024, there were 83,334 stock options expected to vest with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $13.82.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 566,811 shares of common stock to employees upon the exercise of options previously granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and 2020 Plan at exercise prices ranging from $3.68 to $13.82 per share.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 156,592 shares of common stock to employees upon the exercise of options previously granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and 2020 Plan at exercise prices ranging from $3.68 to $13.82 per share.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Share Repurchase Program
On April 30, 2024, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), under which the Company may repurchase up to $40 million in shares of common stock through April 30, 2029. The repurchase program will be subject to market conditions, the periodic capital needs of the Company’s operating activities, and the continued satisfaction of all covenants under the Company’s New Term Loan and ABL Credit Agreement. The Share
Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase shares and may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time.
On June 20, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 26,495 shares of its outstanding common stock. The total purchase price of this transaction was approximately $0.5 million. The acquired shares were recorded as Treasury stock upon repurchase.

Note 12 Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 54.4% and 46.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and (27.3%) and 4.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company's ETR differs from the 21.0% U.S. Federal statutory rate primarily due to permanent differences, including state taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions, tax credits, change in valuation allowance due to expiring net operating losses, and the discrete impact of the debt refinancing discussed in Note 8, Debt Obligations.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $18.1 million and $17.1 million, respectively, excluding interest and penalties, that if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $10.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively, recorded for interest on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company engages in continuous discussions and negotiations with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. The Company expects to complete resolution of certain tax years with various tax authorities within the next 12 months. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that its existing gross unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by up to $15.6 million within the next 12 months, affecting the Company’s ETR if realized. See Note 13, Contingent Liabilities.
Risks Related to Taxes and Tariffs
The international tax environment remains highly uncertain and increasingly complex as evidenced by initiatives put forth by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), which includes the introduction of a global minimum tax at a rate of 15% under the OECD’s Pillar Two rules. We continue to monitor these proposals closely and, if enacted by various countries in which we do business, they may increase our taxes in the applicable jurisdictions or cause us to change the way we operate our business and result in increased taxation of our international earnings. As of the six months ended June 30, 2024, Pillar Two legislation enacted by countries in which Thryv operates is not expected to materially impact the Company’s taxes in 2024.
Note 13 Contingent Liabilities
Litigation
The Company is subject to various lawsuits and other claims in the normal course of business. In addition, from time to time, the Company receives communications from government or regulatory agencies concerning investigations or allegations of noncompliance with laws or regulations in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
The Company establishes reserves for the estimated losses on specific contingent liabilities for regulatory and legal actions where the Company deems a loss to be probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In other instances, losses are considered probable, but the Company is not able to make a reasonable estimate of the liability because of the uncertainties related to the outcome or the amount or range of potential loss. For these matters, disclosure is made when material, but no amount is reserved. The Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of pending regulatory and legal matters in future periods will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, balance sheets or cash flows.
Section 199 and Research and Development Tax Case
Section 199 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), provides for deductions for manufacturing performed in the U.S. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has taken the position that directory providers are not entitled to take advantage of the deductions because printing vendors are already taking deductions and only one taxpayer can claim the deduction. The Tax Code also grants tax credits related to research and development expenditures. The IRS also takes the position that the expenditures have not been sufficiently documented to be eligible for the tax credit. The Company disagrees with these positions.
The IRS has challenged the Company's positions. With respect to the tax years 2012 through June 2015 for the YP LLC partnership, the IRS sent 90-day notices to DexYP on August 29, 2018. In response, the Company filed three petitions (in the names of various related partners) in U.S. Tax Court, and the IRS filed answers to those petitions. The three cases were consolidated by the court and were referred back to IRS Administrative Appeals for settlement negotiations, during which time the litigation was suspended. Several appeals conferences for YP have been held. The Company and the IRS also reached an agreement regarding additional research and development tax credits for the tax years at issue whereby the IRS will allow more tax credits than were originally claimed on the tax returns. With respect to the tax year from July to December 2015 for the Print Media LLC partnership, the Company has been unsuccessful in its attempt to negotiate a settlement with IRS Appeals, and the IRS issued a 90-day notice to the Company. The Company filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court to challenge the IRS denial.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has reserved $27.2 million and $26.1 million, respectively, in connection with the Section 199 disallowance and less than $0.1 million related to the research and development tax credit
disallowance. See Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, for a discussion of the Company's former indemnification asset related to these matters.
On May 22, 2023, the Company received a draft Appeals Settlement document (“Draft Settlement”) from the IRS relating to the IRC Section 199 tax case. Once finalized, the Draft Settlement will result in a decrease in the unrecognized tax benefit recorded for this tax position. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a measurement adjustment to the uncertain tax position liability to account for the new information received from the Draft Settlement. The Company is in continued discussion with the IRS regarding the finalization of this case and final tax impact that will result. As of June 30, 2024, the final settlement has not been issued by the IRS. Accordingly, the Company does not consider the matter effectively settled.

Note 15 Segment Information
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company changed the internal reporting provided to the CODM. As a result, the Company reevaluated its segment reporting, as discussed in Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company determined that the Company manages its operations using two operating segments, which are also its reportable segments: (1) Thryv Marketing Services and (2) Thryv SaaS. Comparative prior periods have been recast to reflect the current presentation.
The Company does not allocate assets to its segments and the CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data, and therefore, such information is not presented.
