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;

•the effect of the coronavirus commonly referred to as COVID-19 (“COVID-19”) on our business, including the measures to reduce its spread, and the impact on the economy and demand for our services, which may precipitate or exacerbate other risks and uncertainties;

•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;

•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;

•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;

•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.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ from its projected results, see Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as well as our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this report, which speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements publicly after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms ~~“our~~“our Company,” ~~“we,~~“we,” ~~“us,~~“us,” ~~“our,~~“our,” ~~“Company”~~“Company” and ~~“Thryv”~~“Thryv” refer to Thryv Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

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 tools designed for SMBs.

On January 21, 2022, Thryv, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, 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.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company reevaluated its segment reporting and determined that its Thryv International SaaS business should be reflected as a separate reportable segment. As such, beginning on April 1, 2022, the results of our international SaaS business are being presented separately from the results of our international marketing services business. Comparative prior periods have been recast to reflect the current presentation.

The Company reports its results based on 4four reportable segments (see Note 15, Segment Information):

•Thryv U.S. Marketing Services, which includes the Company's Print and Digital solutions business in the United States;

•Thryv U.S. SaaS, which includes the Company's flagship SMB end-to-end customer experience platform in the United States;

•Thryv International Marketing Services, which is comprised of Thryv's Print and Digital solutions business in Australia; and

•Thryv International SaaS, which includes the 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”~~“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~~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~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements. The 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~~“Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with ~~Customers”~~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 and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 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”).

Restricted Cash

The following table presents a reconciliation of Cash and cash equivalents and ~~Restricted~~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~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021:

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.

Note 2 Acquisitions

Vivial Acquisition

On January 21, 2022 (the “Vivial Acquisition Date”), Thryv, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired Vivial, a marketing and advertising company, for $22.8 million in cash (net of $8.5 million of cash acquired), subject to certain adjustments (the “Vivial Acquisition”). The assets acquired as part of these transactions consisted primarily of $27.7 million in current assets and $9.8 million in fixed and intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer relationships and technology assets, ~~$15.4~~$13.9 million in deferred tax assets, along with a ~~$7.0~~$10.2 million bargain purchase gain. The Vivial Acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain in part because the seller was motivated to divest its marketing services business that was in secular decline. The Company also assumed liabilities of ~~$25.2~~$20.4 million, consisting primarily of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The assessment of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and is based on information that was available to management at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. The finalization of the Company’s acquisition accounting assessment could result in changes in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which could be material.

The Company accounted for the Vivial 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 Vivial’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary purchase price allocation is expected to be finalized within 12 months after the Vivial Acquisition Date.

The fair values of fixed assets, intangible assets and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been prepared on a preliminary basis with information currently available and are subject to change. Management is still reviewing the characteristics and assumptions related to Vivial’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The following table summarizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Vivial Acquisition Date:


(in thousands)
Current assets	$	27,705
Fixed and intangible assets	9,759
Deferred tax assets	~~15,447~~13,892
Other assets	~~2,087~~2,103
Current liabilities	~~(23,570)~~(18,775)
Other liabilities	(1,646)
Bargain purchase gain	~~(7,005)~~(10,245)
Fair value allocated to net assets acquired, net of bargain purchase gain	$	~~22,777~~22,793

The deferred tax asset primarily relates to excess carryover tax basis over book basis in intangibles as a result of the assessment of the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed using the acquisition method of accounting.

The Vivial Acquisition has contributed ~~$53.0~~$72.8 million in revenue since the Vivial Acquisition Date.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Company increased the purchase price by $0.8 million as a result of customary working capital adjustments, decreased the sales tax reserve by $3.2 million and reclassified the presentation of certain assets and liabilities. The effect of these measurement period adjustments resulted in a ~~$0.3~~$2.9 million ~~decrease~~increase in the bargain purchase gain for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Thryv Australia Acquisition

On March 1, 2021 (the “Thryv Australia Acquisition Date”), Thryv Australia Holdings Pty Ltd (formerly Thryv Australia Pty Ltd) (“Buyer”), an Australian proprietary limited company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Thryv International Holding LLC, a direct and ~~wholly owned~~wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity

interests of (i) Sunshine NewCo Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary limited company, and its subsidiaries, and (ii) ~~Thryv Australia,~~Sensis Holding Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Thryv Australia Acquisition”). The Thryv Australia Acquisition expanded the Company's market share with a broader geographical footprint. Additionally, the Thryv Australia Acquisition provided the Company with a significant increase in clients. Thryv Australia is a provider of marketing solutions serving SMBs in Australia. Control was obtained by means of acquiring all the voting interests.

In connection with the Thryv Australia Acquisition, the Company paid consideration of approximately $216.2 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, financed by the Term Loan (as defined in Note 8, Debt Obligations) that was entered into on the Thryv Australia Acquisition Date. All acquisition-related costs, amounting to $8.7 million, were expensed as incurred by the Company and no portion of these costs are included in consideration transferred. These costs were presented within General and administrative expense in the Company's consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Additionally, as part of the effort to fund the Thryv Australia Acquisition, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $4.2 million related to the Term Loan, of which $2.5 million was capitalized and is being amortized using the effective interest method. See Note 8, Debt Obligations.

The Company accounted for the Thryv Australia Acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with 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, intangible assets, and contract liabilities, by applying a combination of 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.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the purchase price allocation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Thryv Australia Acquisition Date:


(in thousands)
Total cash consideration	$	216,164
Total purchase consideration, as allocated below:	$	216,164

Cash and cash equivalents	$	40,794
Accounts receivable and other current assets	72,404
Other assets	34,962
Fixed assets and capitalized software	18,856
Intangible assets:
Client relationships (estimated useful life of 3.5 years)	101,839
Trademarks (estimated useful life of 3.5 years)	24,877
Accounts payable	(15,038)
Accrued liabilities	(41,724)
Contract liabilities	(27,075)
Other current liabilities	(6,733)
Deferred tax liabilities	(35,884)
Other liabilities	(15,506)
Total identifiable net assets	$	151,772
Goodwill	64,392
Total net assets acquired	$	216,164

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 $64.4 million was primarily related to the benefits expected from the Thryv Australia Acquisition and was allocated to the Thryv International 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 customers 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 customers 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. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company adjusted the disaggregated service revenue methodology it uses to manage the business. The ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 reflect the current methodology. 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 consist of advance payments and revenue deferrals resulting from the allocation of the consideration to performance obligations. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Company recognized Revenue of $12.9 million and ~~$25.9~~$38.8 million, respectively, that was recorded in Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recognized Revenue of $4.7 million and ~~$9.5~~$14.2 million, respectively, that was recorded in Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020.

Pandemic Credits

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recognized pandemic credits of ~~$0.8~~$0.2 million and $~~3.0~~3.2 million, respectively, provided to customers most impacted by COVID-19. The Company ~~has~~ reflected these price concessions as a reduction to Revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive ~~income.~~income (loss). During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Company did not recognize any pandemic credits.

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.

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels at the end of each reporting period. Other than the value of the indemnification asset described below, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy.

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 is 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”). Due to an increase in the Company’s common stock share price as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the number of shares expected to be returned to seller is ~~1,126,990,~~1,130,892, which represents the number of shares required to satisfy the uncertain tax position less $8.0 million.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company's Level 1 indemnification asset was ~~$25.2~~$25.8 million and $24.3 million, respectively. A gain of ~~$0.5~~$0.6 million and ~~$0.9~~$1.5 million from the change in fair value of the Company’s Level 1 indemnification asset during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, respectively, was recorded in General and administrative expense on the Company's ~~consolidated statements~~Consolidated Statements of ~~operations~~Operations and ~~comprehensive income.~~Comprehensive Income.

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 ABL Facility (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 Term Loan (as defined in Note 8, Debt Obligations) is carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair value of the Term Loan for disclosure purposes. The fair value of the Term Loan is 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 Term Loan:

Term Loan

On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Term Loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to finance the Thryv Australia Acquisition, refinance in full the Company's existing term loan facility (the “Senior Term Loan”), and pay fees and expenses related to the Thryv Australia Acquisition and related financing.

The Term Loan established a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $700.0 million, of which 38.4% was held by related parties who were equity holders of the Company, as of March 1, 2021. The Company defines a related party as any shareholder owning more than 5% of the Company's voting securities. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, ~~7.4%~~6.9% of the Term Loan was held by related parties who were equity holders of the Company, as of that date.

The Term Loan Facility matures on March 1, 2026 and borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, LIBOR or a base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin per annum equal to (i) 8.50% (for LIBOR loans) and (ii) 7.50% (for base rate loans). The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory amortization payments equal to $17.5 million per fiscal quarter.

The net proceeds from the Term Loan of $674.9 million (net of original issue discount costs of $21.0 million and third-party fees of $4.1 million) were used to repay the remaining $449.6 million outstanding principal balance of the Senior Term Loan, accrued interest of $0.4 million, and third-party fees of $0.1 million. The Company accounted for this transaction with existing lenders as a modification. The transaction with other lenders party to only the Senior Term Loan was accounted for as an extinguishment.

Accordingly, total third-party fees paid were $4.2 million, of which $1.7 million was immediately charged to General and administrative expense on the Company's consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive ~~income.~~income (loss). The remaining third-party fees of $2.5 million were deferred as debt issuance costs and will be amortized to interest expense, over the term of the loan, using the effective interest method. Additionally, there were unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.4 million on the existing Senior Term Loan, of which $0.3 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.~~income (loss). The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.1 million ~~will be~~were deferred as debt issuance costs and are being amortized to interest expense, over the term of the Term Loan, using the effective interest method. The 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.

In accordance with the Term Loan and the Senior Term Loan, the Company recorded interest expense with related parties for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 of $0.9 million and ~~$4.7~~$4.5 million, respectively, and for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 of ~~$2.7~~$3.5 million and ~~$8.7~~$13.2 million, respectively.

The Company has recorded accrued interest of ~~$5.0~~$0.8 million and $3.4 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Accrued interest is included in Other current liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Term Loan Covenants

The Term Loan contains certain covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit or restrict the borrower's incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, investments, loans, advances, guarantees, acquisitions, sales of assets, sale-leaseback transactions, swap agreements, payments of dividends or distributions, payments in respect of certain indebtedness, certain affiliate transactions, restrictive amendments to agreements, changes in business, amendments of certain material documents, capital expenditures, mergers, consolidations and liquidations, and use of the proceeds. Additionally, the Company is required to maintain compliance with a Total Net Leverage Ratio, calculated as Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA, which shall not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its Term Loan covenants. The Company also expects to be in compliance with these covenants for the next twelve months.

ABL Facility

On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to amend (the “ABL Amendment”) the June 30, 2017 ABL Facility (the “ABL Facility”). The ABL Amendment was entered into in order to permit the Senior Term Loan refinancing, the Thryv Australia Acquisition and make certain other changes to the ABL credit agreement, including, among others:

•revise the maximum revolver amount to $175.0 million;

•reduce the interest rate per annum to (i) 3-month LIBOR plus 3.00% for LIBOR loans and (ii) base rate plus 2.00% for base rate loans;

•reduce the commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the ABL Facility to 0.375%;

•extend the maturity date of the ABL Facility to the earlier of March 1, 2026 and 91 days prior to the stated maturity

date of the Term Loan Facility;

•add the Australian subsidiaries acquired pursuant to the Thryv Australia Acquisition as borrowers and guarantors, and establish an Australian borrowing base; and

•make certain other conforming changes consistent with the Term Loan agreement.

The Company accounted for this transaction as a modification of the ABL Facility. Accordingly, the existing unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.4 million, as well as additional third-party fees and lender fees of $0.9 million associated with the latest ABL Amendment, ~~will be~~were deferred and are being amortized over the new term of the ABL Facility.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had debt issuance costs with a remaining balance of ~~$2.4~~$2.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. These debt issuance costs are included in Other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Company had borrowing capacity of ~~$76.2~~$72.3 million under the ABL Facility.

The ABL Facility contains certain covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit or restrict the borrower's incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, investments, loans, advances, guarantees, acquisitions, disposals of assets, payments of certain indebtedness, certain affiliate transactions, changes in fiscal year or accounting methods, issuance or sale of equity instruments, mergers, liquidations and consolidations, use of proceeds, maintenance of certain deposit accounts, compliance with certain ERISA requirements and compliance with certain Australian tax requirements. The Company is required to maintain compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio that must exceed a ratio of 1.00. The fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as, with respect to any fiscal period determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, the ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the ABL credit agreement for such period minus capital expenditures incurred during such period, to (b) fixed charges. Fixed charges is defined as, with respect to any fiscal period determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, the sum, without duplication, of (a) consolidated interest expense accrued (other than amortization of debt issuance costs, and other non-cash interest expense) during such period, (b) scheduled principal payments in respect of indebtedness paid during such period, (c) all federal, state, and local income taxes accrued during such period, (d) all management, consulting, monitoring, and advisory fees paid to certain individuals or their affiliates during such period, and (e) all restricted payments paid during such period (whether in cash or other property, other than common equity interest). The Company is also required to maintain excess availability of at least $14.0 million, and U.S. excess availability of $10.0 million, in each case, at all times. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its ABL Facility 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,					Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	(in thousands)	2022		2021		2022		2021		(in thousands)	2022		2021		2022		2021

Net periodic pension cost (benefit)										Net periodic pension cost (benefit)	$	3,928	$	(273)	$	(5,295)	$	(998)

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~~September 30, 2022, the Company recognized a settlement loss of $0.1 million, and as a result of an interim actuarial valuation due to a settlement in one of the Company's pension plans, the Company recognized a remeasurement loss of $3.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized a settlement gain of ~~$0.4 million. In addition, during the~~ $0.3 million, and~~three and six months ended June 30, 2022,~~ as a result of an interim actuarial valuation due to ~~the settlement of~~settlements in one of the Company's pension plans, the Company recognized a remeasurement gain of ~~$8.7~~$5.2 million. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a settlement ~~gain~~loss of less than $0.1 million and a remeasurement gain of $0.2 million. During the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company did not recognize a settlement gain or a remeasurement gain.

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Company made cash contributions of $7.5 million and ~~$15.0~~$22.5 million, respectively, to the qualified plans and contributions and associated payments of $0.1 million and $~~0.3~~0.4 million, respectively, to the non-qualified plans. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company made cash contributions of ~~$10.0~~$5.0 million and ~~$15.0~~$20.0 million, respectively, to the qualified plans, and contributions and associated payments of $0.2 million and ~~$0.9~~$1.0 million, respectively, to the non-qualified plans.

For the fiscal year 2022, the Company expects to contribute approximately $30.0 million to the qualified plans and approximately ~~$0.6~~$0.8 million to the non-qualified plans.

Restricted Stock Units

On May 3, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved a form of award agreement (the “RSU Award Agreement”) for grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to the Company’s named executive officers under the Company’s 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”). Additionally, on June 17, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved a form of award agreement for grants of RSUs to the Company’s non-employee directors (the “Non-Employee Director RSU Award Agreement”) under the 2020 Plan. Pursuant to the RSU Award Agreement and the Non-Employee Director RSU Award Agreement, 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 eight months 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~~September 30, 2022, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company's RSU awards was approximately ~~$12.8~~$11.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~2.42~~2.17 years.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, there were 525,735 RSUs expected to vest with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $25.93 per unit.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

On May 3, 2022, the Compensation Committee ~~of the Company’s Board of Directors~~ approved a form of award agreement (the “PSU Award ~~Agreemen~~Agreement”t”) for grants of performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), under the Company’s 2020 Plan. Pursuant to the PSU Award Agreement, each PSU entitles the recipient to one share of the Company’s common stock, subject to performance-based vesting conditions 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. 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. 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~~September 30, 2022, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company's PSU awards was approximately ~~$11.9~~$10.7 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~2.51~~2.26 years. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, there were 473,371 PSUs expected to vest with a weighted average grant-date fair value of ~~$26.76~~$26.76 per unit.

Note 12 Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was ~~27.7%~~32.0% and ~~25.8%~~26.6% for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, and ~~25.0%~~27.9% and ~~24.7%~~25.9% for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The Company's ETR differs from the 21.0% U.S. Federal statutory rate primarily due to our geographic mix of taxable income in various tax jurisdictions and permanent tax differences attributable to the net impact of non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $20.7 million and $20.8 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, that if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had ~~$10.4~~$11.0 million and $9.6 million, respectively, recorded for interest on the 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 $20.2 million within the next 12 months, affecting the Company’s effective tax rate if realized.

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. The appeals ~~conference~~conference for YP occurred on May 9, ~~2022 and~~2022. The Company is working with the Appeals Officer ~~intends~~ to ~~conduct~~schedule settlement ~~negotiations in late August of 2022.~~negotiations. In advance of the IRS Appeals conference, the parties 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 was recently unsuccessful in its attempt to negotiate a settlement with IRS Administrative 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~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has reserved approximately ~~$32.8~~$33.3 million and $31.9 million, respectively, in connection with the Section 199 disallowance and less than $0.1 million related to the research and development tax credit disallowance. Pursuant to the YP Acquisition agreement, the Company is entitled to (i) a dollar-for-dollar indemnification for the research and development tax liability, and (ii) a dollar-for-dollar indemnification for the Section 199-tax liability after the Company pays the first $8.0 million in liability. The indemnification asset, however, is subject to a provision in the YP Acquisition agreement that limits the seller’s liability. The balance of the indemnification asset is ~~$25.2~~$25.8 million and $24.3 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 15 Segment Information

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company revised its segment reporting, as discussed in Note 1. The Company determined that the Company manages its operations using 4four operating segments, which are also its reportable segments: (1) Thryv U.S. Marketing Services, (2) Thryv U.S. SaaS, (3) Thryv International Marketing Services, and (4) Thryv International SaaS. As of January 1, 2022, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is also the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), began including gross profit by segment in the Company's reporting to assess segment performance and allocate resources. As such, gross profit by segment has been added to the current and comparative prior period.

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.

The following tables summarize the operating results of the Company's reportable segments:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations as of, and for, the periods presented and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding industry outlook, our expectations for the future of our business, and our liquidity and capital resources as well as other non-historical statements. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are dedicated to supporting local, independent businesses and franchises by providing innovative marketing solutions and cloud-based tools to the entrepreneurs who run them. We are one of the largest domestic providers of SaaS end-to-end customer experience tools and digital marketing solutions to small-to-medium sized businesses (“SMBs”). Our solutions enable our SMB clients to generate new business leads, manage their customer relationships and run their day-to-day business operations. We serve ~~more th~~approximatelyan 400,000 SMB clients globally through four business segments: Thryv U.S. Marketing Services, Thryv U.S. SaaS, Thryv International Marketing Services and Thryv International SaaS.

Our Thryv U.S. Marketing Services segment provides both print and digital solutions and generated ~~$222.6~~$197.2 million and ~~$202.8~~$213.2 million of consolidated ~~revenues~~revenue for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ~~$435.1~~$632.3 million and ~~$430.7~~$643.9 million of consolidated ~~revenues~~revenue for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our Marketing Services offerings include our owned and operated Print Yellow Pages (“PYP” or “Print”), which carry the “The Real Yellow Pages” tagline, and other digital marketing services (“Digital”), which includes our proprietary Internet Yellow Pages (“IYP”), known by the Yellowpages.com, Superpages.com, and Dexknows.com URLs, search engine marketing (“SEM”) solutions and other digital media solutions, consisting of online display and social advertising, online presence, and video and search engine optimization (“SEO”) tools.

OurOur Thryv U.S. SaaS segment generated ~~$51.2~~$55.4 million and ~~$41.4~~$44.8 million of consolidated ~~revenues~~revenue for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ~~$98.5~~$153.9 million and ~~$78.6~~$123.4 million of consolidated ~~revenues~~revenue for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2021, respectively. Our Thryv Small Business Platform is a SaaS offering comprised of a multi-product, cloud-based business solution that enables small businesses to deliver an exceptional end-to-end client experience, while running an efficient and well-organized business. The Thryv Small Business Platform enables customers to achieve faster and more sustainable growth. SMB’s have the ability to customize the platform experience to match their individual business objectives and goals. At its core, the Thryv SaaS solution is a robust and customizable customer relationship management (“CRM”) tool. Supporting the entire CRM is a suite of robust functions including scheduling, document organization, social media management, online reputation tools, online presence tools, estimating, invoicing and payment solutions. Within the payment solution, Thryv integrates with a variety of other popular name-brand payment providers in addition to its proprietary processor – ~~ThryvPay.~~ThryvPay®. ThryvPay is uniquely integrated within the Thryv Small Business Platform. It also includes an optional multi-location utility, Hub by ~~Thryv,~~Thryv®, which enables multi-location businesses and emerging franchises the ability to centrally command and control many individual Thryv Small Business Platform licenses from a single admin panel.

Our Thryv International Marketing Services segment is comprised of Thryv Australia Pty Ltd (formerly Sensis Pty Ltd) (“(“Thryv Australia”), which the Company acquired on March 1, ~~2021~~2021 (the “Thryv Australia Acquisition”). Thryv Australia is Australia’s leading provider of marketing solutions serving SMBs. The Thryv Australia Acquisition ~~brings~~brought under the Thryv banner more than 100,000 existing Thryv Australia clients, many of which we believe are ideal candidates for the Thryv platform. Our Thryv International Marketing Services segment generated ~~$59.2~~$26.8 million and ~~$46.9~~$39.1 million of consolidated revenues for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $~~106.9~~133.7 million and ~~$62.3~~$101.4 million of consolidated revenues for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and the ~~four~~seven months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, respectively.

Our Thryv International SaaS segment generated ~~$1.0~~$1.3 million and ~~$0.01~~$0.1 million of consolidated revenues for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $~~1.9~~3.2 million and ~~$0.01~~$0.1 million of consolidated revenues for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and the ~~four~~seven months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, respectively.

Our expertise in delivering solutions for our client base is rooted in our deep history of serving SMBs. In 2022, SMB demand for integrated technology solutions continues to grow as SMBs adapt their business and service model to facilitate

remote working and virtual interactions. We have seen this trend accelerate following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On January 21, 2022 (the “Vivial Acquisition Date”), Thryv, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired Vivial Media Holdings, Inc. (“Vivial”), a marketing and advertising company, for $22.8 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments (the “Vivial Acquisition”).

The expanding global scope of our business and the heightened volatility of global markets, driven by factors, such as COVID-19 and inflation, expose us to the risk of rising interest rates, increased operating costs and fluctuations in foreign currency markets. Recently the United States Dollar has strengthened significantly against certain foreign currencies in the markets in which we operate, particularly against the Australian Dollar. We also expect further interest rate changes in the future. To date, these factors have not had a material impact on our ~~operational~~operating performance, financial performance, or liquidity. However, further changes in global economic conditions may adversely impact our revenue, profit margins, cash flow and liquidity. See ‘“Impact of ~~Covid’~~COVID-19” and ‘“Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market ~~Risk’~~Risk” for a description of interest rate and foreign exchange currency ~~risk.~~risks.

Impact of COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 and public and private sector measures to reduce its transmission, such as the imposition of social distancing and orders to work-from-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place, significantly disrupted the global economy, resulting in an adverse effect on the business operations of certain SMBs, especially during 2020 and to a lesser extent during 2021. However, many of our SMB clients operate service-based businesses that can easily operate remotely, or that have been designated as “essential” by state and local authorities administering shelter-in-place orders, and have continued to operate without significant interruption during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the impact of COVID-19 and the related regulatory and private sector response on our financial and operating results in the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 was somewhat mitigated as many of our clients continued to operate.

In March 2020, we began offering certain pandemic credit incentives to select clients. These pandemic credit incentives resulted in a ~~$0.8~~$0.2 million and ~~$3.0~~$3.2 million reduction in revenue for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, respectively. Requests for incentives continued to decline in 2021 as clients resumed normal contractual terms and pricing. As of April 1, 2021, we virtually discontinued providing pandemic credits and accepting client requests to pause search campaigns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Effective April 1, 2021, all client requests for adjustments are now handled as part of normal business operations consistent with historical practices.

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we have continued to see trends similar to those experienced during the year ended December 31, 2021, including an increase in demand for our SaaS solutions and a continuing decline in our Marketing Services business. The challenges we will face in the future related to COVID-19 will depend largely, we believe, on the impact that the continuing spread of the virus, including existing and new variants, and regulatory and private sector response has on our current and prospective clients, including their ability and willingness to purchase our solutions. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our ~~operational~~operating performance, financial performance, or liquidity. Looking ahead, we do not expect any material financial impact related to COVID-19, without a significant increase in cases resulting in another shut down of local businesses. However, it is difficult to predict what the ongoing impact of the pandemic will be on the economy, our clients and our business.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Our operations can be impacted by, among other factors, general economic conditions and increased competition with the introduction of new technologies and market entrants. We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us, but also pose risks and challenges, including those listed below and those discussed in the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Ability to Attract and Retain Clients

Our revenue growth is driven by our ability to attract and retain SMB clients. To do so, we must deliver solutions that address the challenges currently faced by SMBs at a value-based price point that an SMB can afford.

Our strategy is to expand the use of our solutions by introducing our SaaS solutions to new SMB clients, as well as our current U.S. and international Marketing Services ~~and Thryv International~~ clients. This strategy includes capitalizing on the increased needs of SMBs

for solutions that facilitate a remote working environment and virtual interactions. This strategy will require substantial sales and marketing capital.

Investment in Growth

We intend to continue to invest in the growth of our Thryv U.S. and International SaaS ~~segment.~~segments. We have selectively utilized a portion of the cash generated from our Thryv U.S. and International Marketing Services ~~and Thryv International~~ segments to support initiatives in our evolving Thryv U.S. and International SaaS ~~segment,~~segments, which has represented an increasing percentage of consolidated revenue since launch. We will continue to improve our SaaS solutions by analyzing user behavior, expanding features, improving usability, enhancing our onboarding services and customer support and making version updates available to SMBs. We believe these initiatives will ultimately drive revenue growth; however, such improvements will also increase our operating expenses.

Ability to Grow Through Acquisition

Our growth prospects depend upon our ability to successfully develop new markets. We currently serve the United States and Australian SMB markets and plan to leverage strategic acquisitions to expand our client base domestically and enter new markets internationally. Identifying proper targets and executing strategic acquisitions may take substantial time and capital. In August 2020, we launched our first international SaaS reseller pilot, a joint initiative with the leading yellow pages player in the Caribbean, and we also signed a SaaS multi-location franchise client, a home services company with operations in the U.S. and Canada. On March 1, 2021, we completed the Thryv Australia Acquisition. On January 21, 2022, we completed the Vivial Acquisition. We believe that acquisitions of marketing services companies will expand our client base and provide additional opportunities to offer our SaaS solutions. Our success largely depends on our ability to identify and execute acquisition opportunities and our ability to establish relationships with new SMBs.

Key Business Metrics

We review several operating metrics, including the following key business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. We believe these key metrics are useful to investors both because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, and they may be used by investors to help analyze the health of our business.

Total Clients

We define total clients as the number of SMB accounts with one or more revenue-generating solutions in a particular period. For quarter- and year-ending periods, total clients from the last month in the period are reported. A single client may have separate revenue-generating accounts for multiple Marketing Services solutions or SaaS offerings, but we count these as one client when the accounts are managed by the same business entity or individual. Although infrequent, where a single organization has multiple subsidiaries, divisions, or segments, each business entity that is invoiced by us is treated as a separate client. We believe that the number of total clients is an indicator of our market penetration and potential future business opportunities. We view the mix between Marketing Services clients and SaaS clients as an indicator of potential future opportunities to offer our SaaS solutions to our Marketing Services clients.

(1) Clients include total clients from all four of our business segments: Thryv U.S. Marketing Services, Thryv U.S. SaaS, Thryv International Marketing Services and Thryv International SaaS.

(2) Clients that purchase one or more of our Marketing Services solutions are included in this metric. These clients may or may not also purchase subscriptions to our SaaS offerings.

(3) Clients that purchase subscriptions to our SaaS offerings are included in this metric. These clients may or may not also purchase one or more of our Marketing Services solutions.

(4) Total clients is less than the sum of the Marketing Services and SaaS, since clients that purchase both Marketing Services and SaaS products are counted in each category, but only counted once in the Total.

Marketing Services clients decreased by 2730 thousand as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 as compared to ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease in Marketing Services clients was related to a secular decline in the print media industry. The decline in the Digital portion of our Marketing Services business was due to significant competition in the consumer search and display spaces, particularly from large, well-capitalized businesses such as Google, Yelp and Facebook.

SaaS clients increased by ~~five~~6 thousand as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 as compared to ~~June~~September 30, 2021. This was the result of an increase in new clients ~~and decreasing churn,~~ and is consistent with our continuing strategy to target higher spend, higher retention clients in lieu of lower-spend, higher churn clients.

Total clients decreased by 2324 thousand as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 as compared to ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The primary driver of the decrease in total clients was the secular decline in the Print media business combined with increasing competition in the Digital media space.

Monthly ARPU

We define monthly average revenue per unit (“ARPU”) as our total client billings for a particular month divided by the number of revenue-generating units during the same month. For each reporting period, the weighted-average monthly ARPU from all the months in the period are reported. We define units as SMB accounts with one or more revenue-generating solutions in a particular month. Units are synonymous with clients. As monthly ARPU varies based on the amounts we charge for our services, we believe it can serve as a measure by which investors can evaluate trends in the types and levels of services across our client base. Our measurement of ARPU helps us understand the rate at which we are monetizing our client base.


		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,					Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2022		2021		2022		2021			2022		2021		2022		2021
ARPU (Monthly)	ARPU (Monthly)									ARPU (Monthly)
Marketing Services (1)	Marketing Services (1)	$	183	$	187	$	184	$	194	Marketing Services (1)	$	175	$	183	$	181	$	186
SaaS (1)	SaaS (1)	358		323		355		314		SaaS (1)	377		340		363		332

(1) Marketing Services and SaaS ARPU include combined results from both our U.S. and Thryv International Marketing Services and SaaS businesses, respectively.

Monthly Marketing Services ARPU decreased ~~by $4,~~by $8, or ~~2.1%~~4.4%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and decreased by ~~$10,~~$5, or 5%2.7%, ~~for~~for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The overall trend has been a decrease in Monthly Marketing Services ARPU related to reduced spend by clients on our Print media offerings due to the secular decline of the industry caused by the continuing shift of advertising spend to less expensive Digital media. This decrease in Monthly Marketing Services ARPU was further driven by a reduction of our resale of high-spend, low margin third-party local search and display services that were not hosted on our owned and operated platforms. Periodic increases in quarterly Monthly Marketing Services ARPU are temporary and caused by timing of publishing our directories, which have variable lengths (usually 12 to 18 months).

Monthly SaaS ARPU increased by ~~$35,~~$37, or ~~10.8%~~10.9%, during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and increased by ~~$41,~~$31, or ~~13.1%~~9.3%, during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase in Monthly SaaS ARPU was driven by our strategic shift to selling to higher spend clients and, at the same time, discontinuing our sale of the lower-priced tiers of our Thryv platform. In addition, the sale of add-on features to our Thryv platform such as Thryv Leads and Thryv Pay contributed to Monthly SaaS ARPU growth.

Monthly Active Users - SaaS

We define a monthly active user for SaaS offerings as a client with one or more users who log into our SaaS solutions at least once during the calendar month. Individuals who register for, and use, multiple accounts across computer and mobile devices may be counted more than once and, as a result, may overstate the number of unique users who actively use our Thryv platform within a month. Additionally, some of our original SaaS clients exclusively use the website features of their Thryv platform which does not require a login and those users are not included in our active users count. For each reporting period, active users from the last month in the period are reported. We believe that monthly active users best reflects our ability to engage, retain, and monetize our users, and thereby drive increases in revenue.

Monthly Active Users - SaaS	Monthly Active Users - SaaS	38	30	Monthly Active Users - SaaS	37	31

Monthly active users increased by 86 thousand, or ~~27%~~19.4%, during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The number of monthly active users increased period-over-period as we undertook efforts such as enhancing the sales process, the client onboarding experience, and lifecycle management in order to increase engagement among our SaaS clients. The increase was also driven by the focus by our sales team on obtaining higher retention, higher spend clients as these clients are more engaged with our platform. Additionally, we experienced an increase in engagement from existing clients as SMBs increased virtual interactions with their customers in lieu of in-person interactions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total Revenue ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$42.9~~$16.6 million, or ~~14.8%~~5.6%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The ~~increase~~decrease in total Revenue was driven by ~~an increase~~a decrease in Thryv U.S. Marketing Services Revenue of ~~$19.8 million, an increase in the Thryv U.S. SaaS Revenue of $9.8~~$16.0 million and ~~an increase~~a decrease in ~~the~~ Thryv International Marketing Services Revenue of ~~$12.4~~$12.3 million, offset by an increase in Thryv U.S. SaaS Revenue of $10.6 million and an increase in Thryv International SaaS Revenue of $1.2 million.

Thryv U.S. Revenue

Marketing Services Revenue

Thryv U.S. Marketing Services revenue ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$19.8~~$16.0 million, or ~~9.8%~~7.5%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Print revenue ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$10.5~~$13.5 million, or ~~11.2%~~12.6%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. ~~This increase~~The decrease was primarily driven ~~by the Vivial Acquisition and the result of increasing the terms of our new Print publications from 15 months to 18 months. The increase was partially offset~~ by the secular decline in industry demand for Print services that resulted in a ~~10%~~14% decline in revenue compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, net of the impact of publication timing differences caused by our Print agreements having greater than 12 month terms. Print revenue is recognized upon delivery of the published directories. Individual directory titles have different lifecycles, with a typical lifecycle of 15 months for books published during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 18 months during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The titles published during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 are therefore different, and have longer terms, than the titles published during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and represented more revenue than the titles published during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. This decrease was also partially offset by Print revenue recognized as a result of the Vivial Acquisition in the first quarter of 2022.

Digital revenue ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$9.3~~$2.5 million, or ~~8.5%~~2.4%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. ~~This increase~~The decrease was ~~partially~~primarily driven ~~by Digital revenue as a result of the Vivial Acquisition. The increase was partially offset~~ by a continued trending decline in the Company’s Marketing Services client base and significant competition in the consumer search and display space, particularly from large, well-capitalized businesses such as Google, Yelp and Facebook. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in Digital revenue as a result of the Vivial Acquisition.

SaaS Revenue

Thryv U.S. SaaS revenue increased by ~~$9.8~~$10.6 million, or 23.6%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by increased demand for our Thryv SaaS product as SMBs accelerate their move away from manual processes and towards cloud platforms to more efficiently manage and grow their businesses, and by our success in re-focusing our go-to-market and onboarding strategy to target higher ~~spend and higher engaged~~value clients. This increase was partially offset by a decline in our lower-spend and less-engaged legacy SaaS clients that tend to have a higher churn rate.

Thryv International Revenue

Marketing Services Revenue

Thryv International Marketing Services revenue ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$12.4~~$12.3 million, or ~~26.4%~~31.5%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.The increase was driven primarily by an adjustment recognized upon the Thryv Australia Acquisition to reduce the deferred revenue balance assumed, which negatively impacted revenue recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2021 by $27.8 million. The increasedecrease in revenue was ~~partially offset~~driven by lower Print and digital revenue primarily resulting from the secular decline in industry demand for Print services in ~~Australia.~~Australia and negative impact from changes in foreign currency rates.

SaaS Revenue

Thryv International SaaS revenue increased ~~$1.0~~$1.2 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by increased demand for our Thryv platform as we continue to increase sales to SMBs in Australia.

Cost of Services

Cost of services ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$6.6~~$0.8 million, or ~~5.9%~~0.8%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The ~~decrease~~increase was primarily attributable to additional Cost of services incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the Vivial Acquisition. These increases were partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense of ~~$7.7~~$5.1 million, due to the accelerated amortization method used by the Company, along with lower expenses resulting from the impact of strategic cost-saving initiatives. ~~These decreases were partially offset by additional Cost of services incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of the Vivial Acquisition.~~

Gross Profit

Gross profit ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$49.5~~$17.5 million, or ~~27.8%~~9.1%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The ~~increase~~decrease in Gross profit was primarily due to ~~higher~~a decrease in revenue ~~recognized by Thryv Australia. The remaining increase~~recognized. This was ~~primarily driven~~partially offset by the impact of the Vivial Acquisition, the result of increasing the terms of our ~~print~~Print publications from 15 months to 18 months in our Thryv USU.S. Marketing Services ~~Segment~~segment and growth in our Thryv U.S. SaaS segment. Our gross margin ~~increased~~decreased by ~~700~~240 basis points to ~~68.3%~~62.6% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to ~~61.3%~~65.0% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$4.4~~$4.5 million, or ~~5.1%~~4.7%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily attributable to ~~an increase~~a decrease in sales promotion expenses of $7.4 million, primarily driven by a decrease in costs incurred to promote the Thryv platform, a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $3.5 million, due to the accelerated amortization method used by the Company, and a decrease of $2.2 million in contract services, due to strategic cost-saving initiatives. The decrease in Sales and marketing expense was partially offset by increases in employee-related costs of ~~$3.3~~$5.0 million, partially driven by the Vivial Acquisition, and an increase in sales commissions of ~~$3.2~~$3.1 million. ~~These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.3 million in contract services, due to strategic cost-saving initiatives.~~

3334

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased by ~~$19.6~~$21.7 million, or ~~59.1%~~65.8%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in ~~bad debt expense of $6.4 million and~~ employee-related costs of ~~$3.7~~$11.4 million, driven primarily by the Vivial Acquisition. General and administrative expenses also increased as a result of higher software development costs, legal expenses and other expenses related to the Vivial Acquisition. ~~These increases were~~The increase in General and administrative expenses was partially offset by a ~~$4.2~~$2.1 million decrease in transaction costs related to the Thryv Australia Acquisition, which occurred in the first quarter of 2021.

Other Components of Net Periodic Pension (Cost) Benefit

Other components of net periodic pension ~~benefit~~cost increased by ~~$8.9~~$4.2 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a remeasurement ~~gain~~loss of ~~$8.7~~$3.5 million, triggered by settlements occurring during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, while no remeasurement ~~gain~~loss was recognized during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

The ETR was ~~27.7%~~32.0% and ~~25.0%~~27.9% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The ETR differs from the 21.0% U.S. Federal statutory rate primarily due to our geographic mix of taxable income in various tax jurisdictions and permanent tax differences attributable to the net impact of non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$19.2~~$36.9 million, or ~~19.9%~~36.1%, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Total Revenue increased by ~~$70.7~~$54.1 million, or ~~12.4%~~6.2%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase in total Revenue was driven primarily by an increase in Thryv International Marketing Services Revenue of ~~$44.6~~$32.3 million and Thryv U.S. SaaS Revenue of ~~$19.9~~$30.4 million.

Thryv U.S. Revenue

Marketing Services Revenue

Thryv U.S. Marketing Services revenue ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$4.4~~$11.7 million, or ~~1.0%~~1.8%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Print revenue decreased by ~~$4.5~~$18.0 million, or ~~2.2%~~5.7%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the secular decline in industry demand for Print services that resulted in a ~~17%~~15% decline in revenue compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, net of the impact of publication timing differences caused by our Print agreements having greater than 12 month terms and the extension of the terms of our Print agreements. Print revenue is recognized upon delivery of the published directories. Individual directory titles have different lifecycles, with a typical lifecycle of 15 months during the ~~six~~nine months ended September 30, 2021. Starting in the three months ended June 30, ~~2021. The~~2022, the typical life cycle was extended to 18 months for new ~~directories published during the three months ended June 30, 2022.~~directories. The titles published during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 are therefore different, and the terms are longer, than the titles published during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and represented more revenue than the titles published during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. This decrease was further offset by an increase in Print revenue as a result of the Vivial Acquisition.

Digital revenue increased by ~~$8.9~~$6.3 million, or ~~4.0%~~1.9%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by Digital revenue as a result of the Vivial Acquisition. This increase was partially offset by a continued trending decline in the Company’s Marketing Services client base and significant competition in the consumer search and display space, particularly from large, well-capitalized businesses such as Google, Yelp and Facebook.

SaaS Revenue

Thryv U.S. SaaS revenue increased by ~~$19.9~~$30.4 million, or ~~25.3%~~24.6%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by increased demand for our Thryv SaaS product as SMBs accelerate their move away from manual processes and towards cloud platforms to more efficiently manage and grow their businesses, and by our success in re-focusing our go-to-market and onboarding strategy to target higher ~~spend and higher engaged~~value clients.

This increase was partially offset by a decline in our lower-spend and less-engaged legacy SaaS clients that tend to have a higher churn rate.

Thryv International Revenue

Marketing Services Revenue

Thryv International Marketing Services revenue increased by ~~$44.6~~$32.3 million, or ~~71.6%~~31.8%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~four~~seven months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. As the Thryv Australia Acquisition was completed on March 1, 2021, no revenue was recognized for Thryv International during the two months ended February 28, 2021. In addition, upon the Thryv Australia Acquisition, an adjustment was recognized to reduce the deferred revenue balance assumed, which negatively impacted revenue recognized in the ~~four~~seven months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 by $37.9 million. These increases in revenue were partially offset by lower Print revenue resulting from the secular decline in industry demand for Print services in Australia.

SaaS Revenue

Thryv International SaaS revenue increased ~~$1.9~~$3.0 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared the ~~four~~seven months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by increased demand for our Thryv platform as we continue to increase sales to SMBs in Australia.

Cost of Services

Cost of services increased by ~~$5.8~~$6.6 million, or ~~2.7%~~2.1%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to ~~$11.9~~$17.2 million of printing, distribution and digital and fulfillment support costs, primarily related to the Vivial Acquisition. Contract ~~Services~~services also increased ~~$9.5~~$13.6 million, primarily related to the Vivial Acquisition and continued investments in the Thryv platform. The increase was partially offset by a ~~$9.1~~$14.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, driven by the accelerated amortization method used by the Company.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by ~~$65.0~~$47.5 million, or ~~18.0%~~8.6%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase in Gross profit was primarily due to higher revenue from Thryv Australia and growth in our SaaS segments. Our gross margin increased by ~~320~~140 basis points to ~~66.3%~~65.2% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to ~~63.1%~~63.8% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense increased by ~~$21.8~~$17.4 million, or ~~13.3%~~6.7%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to ~~$9.1~~$14.1 million of additional employee-related costs primarily related to the acquisitions of Thryv Australia and Vivial, and an increase in commission expenses of ~~$9.4~~$12.5 million as a result of the Vivial Acquisition and higher Thryv platform ~~sales,~~sales. The increase was partially offset by a $5.3 million decrease in contract services, due to strategic cost-saving initiatives, and ~~an increase~~a $2.0 million decrease in advertising and sales promotion ~~expenses of $5.4 million, primarily driven by costs incurred to promote the Thryv platform.~~expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased by ~~$30.5~~$52.2 million, or ~~41.0%~~48.6%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in ~~bad debt expense of $7.6 million, and higher~~ employee-related costs, driven by the acquisitions of Thryv Australia and Vivial ~~Acquisition~~ of ~~$12.7~~$24.1 million. and bad debt expense of $7.5 million. General and administrative expenses also increased $14.7 million as a result of higher software development costs and other expenses related to the Vivial Acquisition. In addition, General and administrative expenses increased by $4.3 million as a result of depreciation and amortization expense, driven by the accelerated amortization method used by the Company. The increase was partially offset by a ~~$12.7~~$15.2 million decrease in transaction costs related to the Thryv Australia Acquisition, which occurred in the first quarter of 2021.

Impairment Charges

Impairment charges decreased by $3.4 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Impairment charges of $0.2 million were incurred during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, while $3.6 million of impairment charges were recognized during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2021.~~2021 related to operating lease right-of-use asset impairments due to the Company's decision to operate in a "Remote First" working environment and consolidate operations at certain locations.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by ~~$5.3~~$7.3 million, or ~~15.3%~~14.2%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, driven primarily by lower outstanding debt balances resulting from payments made on long-term debt.

Other Components of Net Periodic Pension Benefit

Other components of net periodic pension benefit increased by ~~$8.5~~$4.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a remeasurement gain of ~~$8.7~~$5.2 million recognized during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, compared to a ~~benefit~~gain of $0.2 million recognized during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Other Income (Expense)

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Company incurred other income, net, of ~~$8.6~~$15.6 million, which primarily represents the ~~$7.0~~$10.2 million bargain purchase gain as a result of the Vivial ~~Acquisition.~~Acquisition and foreign currency-related gains. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company incurred other expense of ~~$4.1~~$4.2 million, which included a loss of $3.1 million on the termination of leaseback obligations associated with land and a building in Tucker, ~~Georgia.~~Georgia and foreign currency-related losses.

Income Tax Expense

The ETR was ~~25.8%~~26.6% and ~~24.7%~~25.9% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The ETR differs from the 21.0% U.S. Federal statutory rate primarily due to our geographic mix of taxable income in various tax jurisdictions and permanent tax differences attributable to the net impact of non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by ~~$2.0~~$38.9 million, or ~~1.0%~~12.8%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease in in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the secular decline in both our Thryv U.S. and International Marketing Services segments. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenue in the Thryv International Marketing Services segment due to an adjustment recognized upon the Thryv Australia Acquisition to reduce the deferred revenue balance assumed, which negatively impacted revenue recognized in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. These decreases were further offset by the impact of the Vivial Acquisition and the result of increasing the terms of our print publications from 15 months to 18 months in our Thryv U.S. Marketing Services ~~Segment.~~segment. See ~~“Non-GAAP~~“Non-GAAP Financial ~~Measures”~~Measures” for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to Net income, the most directly comparable measure presented in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted Gross Margin, as defined below, as non-GAAP financial measures in this Quarterly Report.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted Gross Margin in this report 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 Gross Profit, and Adjusted Gross Margin are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as measuring the Company’s performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted Gross Margin provide investors with the financial measures that closely align with our internal processes.

We define Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as Net income plus ~~Interest~~Income tax expense, ~~Income tax~~Interest expense Depreciation and amortization expense, Loss on ~~early extinguishment~~termination of ~~debt,~~leaseback obligations, Restructuring and integration expenses, Transaction costs, Stock-based compensation expense, and non-operating expenses, such as, Other components of net periodic pension cost (benefit) ~~cost,~~, Non-cash (gain) ~~loss~~ from remeasurement of indemnification asset, and certain unusual and

non-recurring charges that might have been incurred. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to Net income as a performance measure. We define Adjusted Gross Profit (“Adjusted Gross Profit”) and Adjusted Gross Margin (“Adjusted Gross Margin”) as Gross profit and Gross margin, respectively, adjusted to exclude the impact of Depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense.

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 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, Net income:

Thryv Holdings, Inc. is a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of its own. We derive cash flows from cash transfers and other distributions from our operating subsidiary, Thryv Inc., who in turn generates cash flow from its own operations and operations of its subsidiaries, and has cash and cash equivalents on hand, funds provided under the Term Loan (as defined below) and funds available under the ABL Facility (as defined below). The agreements governing our debt may restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to make loans or otherwise transfer assets to us. Further, our subsidiaries are permitted under the terms of our senior credit facilities and other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the making of distributions or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to us. Our and our subsidiaries’ ability to meet our debt service requirements is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations.

We believe that expected cash flows from operations, available cash and cash equivalents, and funds available under our ABL Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements, such as working capital requirements for our operations, business development and investment activities, and payments for our debt obligations, for the following 12 months. Any projections of future earnings and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. Our future success and capital adequacy will depend on, among other things, our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenues and cash flows from operations and our ability to address our annual cash obligations and reduce our outstanding debt, all of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. As a result of COVID-19, many SMBs may continue to experience a reduction in revenues and cash flows and may not have the ability to pay amounts owed to us. While COVID-19 has not had a material impact on our liquidity to date, we continue to assess our business operations and the impact that COVID-19 may have on our financial results and liquidity. We continue to monitor our capital requirements to ensure our needs are in line with available capital resources.

In addition, our board of directors authorizes us to undertake share repurchases from time to time. The amount and timing of any share repurchases that we make will depend on a variety of factors, including available liquidity, cash flows, our capacity to make repurchases under our debt agreements and market conditions.

For a discussion on contingent obligations, see Note 13, Contingent Liabilities, to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by ~~$24.9~~$17.3 million, or ~~30.4%~~14.2%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease was primary due to changes in working ~~capital.~~capital, particularly accounts receivable, which was impacted by the timing of payments. This decrease was partially offset by lower restructuring and integration and transaction cost payments of $14.7 million, related to the Vivial Acquisition on January 1,21, 2022 compared to the Thryv Australia Acquisition on March 1, 2021, and lower interest payments of ~~$12.7~~$10.1 million compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by ~~$156.0~~$153.2 million, or ~~82.8%~~78.4%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the difference in the cash paid of ~~$174.2~~$175.4 million in connection with the Thryv Australia Acquisition on March 1, 2021, compared to the cash paid of $22.8 million in connection with the Vivial Acquisition on January 21, 2022.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by ~~$145.0~~$145.2 million, or ~~117.4%~~165.9%, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by net proceeds received from the Term Loan of $679.0 million and cash used to repay the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Senior Term Loan of $449.6 million, used to finance the Thryv Australia Acquisition and refinance the Senior Term Loan, during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. This was partially offset by payments made on the Term Loan of ~~$42.5~~$81.5 million during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, compared to payments made on the Term Loan of ~~$88.0~~$123.0 million during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease was further offset by an increase in net proceeds from the ABL Facility of ~~$37.9~~$42.0 million, as a result of lower proceeds of ~~$57.3~~$46.9 million and lower payments of ~~$95.2~~$88.9 million on the ABL Facility during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2022.~~

Debt

Term Loan

On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Term Loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to finance the Thryv Australia Acquisition, refinance in full the Company's existing term loan facility (the “Senior Term Loan”) and pay fees and expenses related to the Thryv Australia Acquisition and related financing.

March 1, 2021. The Term Loan Facility matures on March 1, 2026 and borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, LIBOR or a base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin per annum equal to (i) 8.50% (for LIBOR loans) and (ii) 7.50% (for base rate loans). The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory amortization payments equal to $17.5 million per fiscal quarter. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, ~~7.4%~~6.9% of the Term Loan was held by related parties who were equity holders of the Company on that date.

ABL Facility

•revise the maximum revolver amount to $175.0 million;

•reduce the interest rate per annum to (i) 3-month LIBOR plus 3.00% for LIBOR loans and (ii) base rate plus 2.00% for base rate loans;

•reduce the commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the ABL Facility to 0.375%;

•extend the maturity date of the ABL Facility to the earlier of March 1, 2026 and 91 days prior to the stated maturity

date of the Term Loan Facility;

•add the Australian subsidiaries acquired pursuant to the Thryv Australia Acquisition as borrowers and guarantors, and establish an Australian borrowing base; and

•make certain other conforming changes consistent with the Term Loan Facility.

We maintain debt levels that we consider appropriate after evaluating a number of factors, including cash requirements for ongoing operations, investment and financing plans (including acquisitions and share repurchase activities), and overall cost of capital. Per the terms of the Term Loan Facility, payments of the Term Loan balance are determined by the Company's Excess Cash Flow (as defined within the Term Loan Facility). We are in compliance with all covenants under the Term Loan and ABL Facility as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022. We had total recorded debt outstanding of ~~$539.2~~$503.7 million (net of ~~$16.9~~$15.6 million of unamortized original issue discount (“OID”) and debt issuance cost) at ~~June~~September 30, 2022, which was comprised of amounts outstanding under our Term Loan of ~~$499.5~~$460.5 million and ABL Facility of ~~$56.6~~$58.9 million.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we had borrowing capacity of ~~$76.2~~$72.3 million under the ABL Facility.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed from those described in our 2021 Form 10-K, under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and ~~Estimates.~~Estimates.”

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of accounting pronouncements recently adopted and issued, see “Part I, Item 1. Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting ~~Policies.~~Policies.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we had total debt outstanding of ~~$539.2~~$503.7 million (net of ~~$16.9~~$15.6 million of unamortized OID and debt issuance costs), which was comprised of amounts outstanding under our Term Loan of ~~$499.5~~$460.5 million and ABL Facility of ~~$56.6~~$58.9 million. Substantially all this debt bears interest at floating rates. Changes in interest rates affect the interest expense we pay on our floating rate debt. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase our interest expense by approximately ~~$5.6~~$5.2 million annually, based on the debt outstanding at ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Foreign Exchange Currency Risk

We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Australian dollar. Since we translate foreign currencies into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes, currency fluctuations can have an impact on our financial results.

We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our Net income as a result of transaction gains or losses related to revaluing certain current asset and current liability balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities in which they are recorded. We recognized immaterial amounts of foreign currency gains and losses in each of the periods presented. We have not hedged our foreign currency transactions to date. We are evaluating the costs and benefits of initiating a hedging program and may in the future hedge selected significant transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar as we expand our international operations and our risk grows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Acquisition

We are in the process of integrating Vivial, a marketing and advertising company that we acquired on January 21, 2022. Management’s assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting related to the Vivial Acquisition. The Vivial Acquisition represented 9%7% and 8%of our consolidated revenue included in our consolidated financial statements for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, respectively.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have completed one acquisition in the past 12 months. As part of our ongoing integration activities, we continue to implement our controls and procedures over the business we acquired and to augment our company-wide controls to reflect the risks inherent in our acquisition. Throughout the integration process, we monitor these efforts and take corrective action as needed to reinforce the application of our controls and procedures. Other than the foregoing, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
