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”) and Internet Yellow Pages (“IYP”) and provides a comprehensive offering of digital marketing services such as 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 March 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Sensis Holding Limited (“Sensis”), a provider of marketing solutions serving 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 condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of 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 condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statementsThe condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited annual financial statements. The condensed 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, 2020.

Gross Profit Change

The Company has revised the format of its condensed consolidated statements of operations, since the issuance of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (our “2020 Form 10-K”), in order to provide better insight into its results of operations and to align its presentation to certain industry competitors. As a result, a Gross profit subtotal line item was added within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, the Company reclassified Depreciation and amortization from a single line in its condensed consolidated statements of operations to be reflected as a component of Gross profit, Sales and marketing expense, and General and administrative expense.
The following summarizes the changes made to the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Reverse Stock Split

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect a 1-for-1.8 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, which became effective on August 26, 2020. All share and per share data for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retrospectively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed 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 net pension obligation. 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 addition of foreign currency to the Company’s significant accounting policies and the change related to income taxes, as described below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the significant accounting policies included in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K.
Restricted Cash

The following table presents a reconciliation of Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

June 30, 2021June 30, 2020December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents$15,785 $1,589 $2,406 
Restricted cash, included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets2,641 — — 
Total Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash $18,426 $1,589 $2,406 

Impairment Charges

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets impairment charges of $3.6 million due to the Company's decision to operate in a “Remote First” working environment. These impairment charges were recorded in the Thryv International segment.

In June 2020, the Company announced its plans to become a “Remote First” company, meaning that the majority of the workforce will continue to operate in a remote working environment indefinitely. As a result, the Company closed certain office buildings, including most of the space at the corporate headquarters in Dallas. The Company kept certain office buildings open to house essential employees who cannot perform their duties remotely, such as employees who work in the data centers in Dallas and Virginia. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets impairment charges of $15.2 million and $15.3 million, respectively, and a fixed assets impairment charge of $2.9 million due to the Company's decision to operate in a “Remote First” working environment and consolidate operations at certain locations. Approximately $16.4 million and $1.8 million of the impairment charges related to becoming a “Remote First” company were recorded in the Marketing Services and SaaS segments, respectively.

These operating lease right-of-use assets were remeasured at fair value based upon the discounted cash flows of estimated sublease income using market participant assumptions. These fair value measurements are considered Level 3.

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 condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Income Taxes

The Company will report the tax impact of global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as a period cost when incurred. Accordingly, the Company is not providing deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
