General

Thryv Holdings, Inc. (“Thryv” or the “Company”) is a software-led platform company focused on enabling small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) to run and grow their businesses more efficiently. The Company's strategy is centered on delivering a unified, extensible SaaS platform that supports customer acquisition, engagement, operations, and retention across the SMB lifecycle.

The Company's SaaS platform (or “Thryv platform”) is designed for active daily use by business owners and operators. Customers engage directly with the platform to help business owners build a strong online presence, manage leads, automate workflows, communicate with customers, process payments, and make data-informed decisions that drive business outcomes.

The Company reports its results based on two reportable segments (see Note 14, Segment Information):
SaaS, which includes the Company's unified small business marketing platform, supporting software solutions, related extensions, payment solutions, and professional services; and
Marketing Services, which includes the Company's legacy print (“Print”) and digital marketing solutions (“Digital”) business, which the Company plans to exit by the end of 2028.

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“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 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, 2026 and 2025 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statementsThe consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 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 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

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, stock-based compensation expense, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, pension obligations and certain amounts relating to the accounting for income taxes, including valuation allowances. Significant estimates are also used in determining the recoverability and fair value of fixed assets and capitalized software, goodwill and intangible assets.
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

During the fourth quarter of 2025, as a result of increased investment in research and development activities following the acquisition of Infusion Software, Inc. d/b/a/ Keap (“Keap”) in October 2024 and to provide greater detail of the Company's underlying expenses, the Company began breaking out Research and development expense into a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). These costs were previously included in Sales and marketing expense. This change was made retrospectively to all periods presented for comparability purposes and there was no effect on Total operating expenses or Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company describes its significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Except as described below, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

The Company has determined that sales commissions paid to employees and certified marketing representatives associated with selling the Company’s print, digital and SaaS services are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract. Commissions incurred to obtain a new contract are capitalized and recognized over the benefit period, which is determined based on expected contract renewals, the Company’s technology development life-cycle, and other factors.

In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated amortization period of its capitalized commissions on a periodic basis. This review indicated that the benefit period for commissions on SaaS contracts had lengthened due to an increase in the average SaaS customer life. As a result, effective January 1, 2026, the Company changed the amortization period for costs incurred to obtain a new contract to better reflect the estimated benefit period of these assets. The estimated useful life of these assets was increased from eighteen months to thirty-six months. The effect of this change in estimate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was to reduce amortization of deferred commissions by $2.2 million, which resulted in an increase to net income of $2.2 million and an increase to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.05.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is primarily associated with security deposits with credit card merchants. The following table presents a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the amount shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires additional disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the annual period ended December 31, 2025, and implemented the new disclosure updates within the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 on a retrospective basis. Because the ASU affects disclosures only, the adoption did not impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date” ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the extent and impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software Subtopic 350-40” (“ASU 2025-06”). The amendments in ASU 2025-06 are intended to simplify the capitalization guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. ASU 2025-06, which can be applied using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Topic 270 – Interim Reporting” (“ASU 2025-11”). The amendments in ASU 2025-11 clarify interim reporting requirements by improving navigability of Topic 270 and more clearly specifying what disclosures are required in interim reporting periods. The amendments also establish a principle that requires disclosure of events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have materially impacted the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements.
