Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 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, o n 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 started reflecting its Thryv International SaaS business 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 four reportable segments: • 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. The corresponding current and prior period segment disclosures have been recast to reflect the current segment presentation. See Note 17, Segment Information . 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 include the financial statements of Thryv Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items and accruals, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the December 31, 2022 presentation. All conforming reclassifications were immaterial and did not impact the Company’s Net income. These conforming reclassifications did not result in material changes to the presentation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Gross Profit Change During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company revised the format of its consolidated statements of operations since the issuance of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (our “2020 Form 10-K” ) in order to provide better insight into the Company's results of operations and to align its presentation to certain industry competitors. As a result, a Gross profit subtotal line item was added within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Additionally, the Company reclassified Depreciation and amortization from a single line item in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income to be reflected as a component of Gross profit, Sales and marketing expense, and General and administrative expense. The following summarizes the changes made to the Company's consolidated statements of operations for December 31, 2020: Year Ended December 31, 2020 (in thousands) As Reported Adjustments As Adjusted Cost of services $ 366,696 $ 73,046 $ 439,742 Sales and marketing 263,006 52,189 315,195 General and administrative 156,286 21,288 177,574 Impairment charges 24,911 — 24,911 Depreciation and amortization 146,523 (146,523) — Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. The results of those estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities. Examples of reported amounts that rely on significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, capitalized costs to obtain a contract, certain amounts relating to the accounting for income taxes, including valuation allowance, indemnification asset, stock-based compensation expense, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, accrued service credits, and pension obligations. Significant estimates are also used in determining the recoverability and fair value of fixed assets and capitalized software, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill and intangible assets. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue based on the revenue recognition standard, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , (“ ASC 606 ”). The Company determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through application of the following five steps: (i) identify a customer contract, (ii) identify performance obligations, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price, and (v) recognize revenue, each of which is described further below. Identify the Customer Contract The Company accounts for a contract with a client when approval and commitment from all parties is obtained, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the client and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods. Typical payment terms provide that the Company’s clients pay within 20 days of the invoice. Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract and Recognize Revenue The Company has determined that each of its 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. Therefore, revenue associated with print services is recognized at a point in time upon delivery to the intended market. 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 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 services is recognized over time using an output method to measure the progress toward satisfying a performance obligation. As part of the SaaS offerings, the Company enters into certain development and reseller agreements with third parties. Based upon the control indicators outlined in ASC 606, the Company acts as a principal in these arrangements and recognizes revenue on a gross basis because it controls the services before they are transferred to clients. Determine and Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract The transaction price of a contract consists of fixed and variable consideration components pursuant to the applicable contractual terms and excludes sales tax. The Company’s contracts have variable consideration in the form of price concessions and service credits. Service credits may be issued to a client at the discretion of the Company related to client satisfaction issues and claims. The Company performs a monthly review of expected service credits at a portfolio level based on the Company’s history of adjustments and expected trends. The provision for service credits is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For performance obligations recognized under the series guidance, variable consideration is allocated. When necessary, variable consideration is estimated and included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. These judgments involve consideration of historical and expected experience with the client and other similar clients. The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling price is the price at which the Company would sell a promised service separately to a client. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Often times, the Company does not have sufficient standalone sales information, as contracts with customers generally include multiple performance obligations. When standalone sales information is not available, the Company estimates standalone selling price using information that may include average selling price, market conditions, entity specific factors such as pricing and discounting strategies, and other inputs. Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract with a Customer Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer The Company has determined that sales commissions paid to employees and certified marketing representatives associated with selling the Company’s print, digital and SaaS services are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract. Commissions related to renewal contracts are not commensurate with costs incurred to obtain an initial contract. Therefore, commissions incurred to obtain a new contract are capitalized and recognized over the benefit period, which is determined to be eighteen months based on expected contract renewals, the Company’s technology development life-cycle, and other factors. Commissions for renewals of existing contracts are expensed as incurred under a practical expedient, which allows an entity to expense costs to obtain a contract with an amortization period of less than twelve months. Deferred costs to obtain contracts are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the expense. The current portion is included in Other current assets and the non-current portion is included in Other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred costs to obtain contracts is included as a component of Sales and marketing expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The following table sets for the Company's deferred costs to obtain contracts, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021: (in thousands) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Deferred costs to obtain contracts - Current assets $ 6,855 $ 7,126 Deferred costs to obtain contracts - Non-current assets 741 1,812 Amortization of the Company's deferred costs to obtain contracts, for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Amortization of deferred costs to obtain contracts $ 12,110 $ 11,847 $ 13,628 Costs to Fulfill a Contract with a Customer Direct costs associated with fulfilling PYP contracts with a client include costs related to printing and distribution. Directly attributable costs incurred to fulfill print services are capitalized as incurred and then expensed at the time of delivery, in line with the recognition of revenue. Costs to fulfill SaaS and digital contracts with clients are expensed as incurred. The following table sets for the Company's deferred costs to fulfill contracts as of December 31, 2022 and 2021: (in thousands) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Deferred costs to fulfill contracts (1) $ 2,689 $ 3,466 (1) Included in Other current assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of the Company's deferred costs to fulfill contracts for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Amortization of deferred costs to fulfill contracts (1) $ 3,466 $ 2,687 $ 4,849 (1) These costs were recorded in Cost of services in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company recorded no impairment losses associated with these deferred costs during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. Cash and Cash Equivalents Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Restricted Cash The following table presents a reconciliation of Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Company's consolidated balance sheets to the amount shown in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021: (in thousands) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 16,031 $ 11,262 Restricted cash, included in Other current assets 2,149 2,295 Total Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 18,180 $ 13,557 Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance Accounts receivable represents billed amounts for which invoices have been provided to clients and unbilled amounts for which revenue has been recognized, but amounts have not yet been billed to the client. Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company’s exposure to expected credit losses depends on the financial condition of its clients and other macroeconomic factors. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses based upon its estimate of potential credit losses. This allowance is based upon historical and current client collection trends, any identified client-specific collection issues, and current as well as expected future economic conditions and market trends. See Note 6, Allowance for Credit Losse s, for additional information. The following table represents the components of Accounts receivable, net of allowance: December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Accounts receivable $ 80,369 $ 81,445 Unbilled accounts receivable (1) 219,095 214,995 Total accounts receivable $ 299,464 $ 296,440 Less: allowance for credit losses (14,766) (17,387) Accounts receivable, net of allowance $ 284,698 $ 279,053 (1) Unbilled accounts receivable relates primarily to the Company’s print services, which are recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the print services to the intended market(s), but are billed to customers monthly after the delivery of the print services. Unbilled accounts receivable are reclassified as billed accounts receivable monthly when the customers are invoiced. The following table represents the components of unbilled accounts receivable from contracts with customers: December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Unbilled accounts receivable - current $ 219,095 $ 214,995 Unbilled accounts receivable - non-current (1) 23,653 — Total unbilled accounts receivable $ 242,748 $ 214,995 (1) Included in Other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments subject to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company deposits cash on hand with major financial institutions. Cash balances at major financial institutions may exceed limits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Approximately 90% of revenue in all periods presented was derived from sales to local SMBs that operate in limited geographical areas. These SMBs are usually billed in monthly installments when the services begin and, in turn, make monthly payments, requiring the Company to extend credit to these clients. The remaining approximately 10% of revenue in all periods presented was derived from the sale of marketing services to larger businesses that advertise regionally or nationally. Contracted certified marketing representatives (“ CMRs ”) purchase advertising on behalf of these businesses. Payment for advertising is due when the advertising is published and is received directly from the CMRs, net of the CMRs’ commission. The CMRs are responsible for billing and collecting from these businesses. While the Company still has exposure to credit risks, historically, the losses from these clients have been less than that of local SMBs. The Company conducts its operations primarily in the United States and Australia . In 2022, the Company's top ten directories, as meas ured by revenue, accounted for approximately 1% of total revenue. No single directory or client accounted for more than 1% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, no single client or CMR accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Fixed Assets and Capitalized Software Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The cost of additions and improvements associated with fixed assets are capitalized if they have a useful life in excess of one year. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, including the cost of replacing minor items that are not considered substantial improvements, are expensed as incurred. When fixed assets are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are deducted from the accounts and any gains or losses on disposition are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances may indicate that the carrying amount of a fixed asset may not be recoverable. Costs associated with internal use software are capitalized during the application development stage, if they have a useful life in excess of one year. Subsequent additions, modifications, or upgrades to internal use software are capitalized only to the extent that they allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. Capitalized software is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances may indicate that the carrying amount of a capitalized software may not be recoverable. The remaining useful lives of fixed assets and capitalized software are reviewed annually for reasonableness. Fixed assets and capitalized software are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are presented in the following table: Estimated Buildings and building improvements 8 - 30 years Leasehold improvements (1) 1 - 8 years Computer and data processing equipment 3 years Furniture and fixtures 7 years Capitalized software 1.5 - 5 years Other 3 - 7 years (1) Leasehold improvements are depreciated at the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. See Note 7, Fixed Assets and Capitalized Software . Leases The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. The Company combines lease and non-lease components for all asset classes, except real estate leases. For real estate leases, consideration is allocated to lease and non-lease components based on a relative standalone price. Leases are included in Other assets, Other current liabilities, and Other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense is recorded within General and administrative expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Leases with a duration of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related expense is recorded as incurred. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. If applicable, the right-of-use asset may include any initial direct costs incurred, lease payments made prior to the commencement, and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. For these calculations, the Company considers only payments that are fixed or determinable at the time of commencement or any variable payments that depend on an index or a rate. The Company determines an incremental borrowing rate (“ IBR ”) based on the information available at commencement date to calculate the present value of lease payments. The IBR represents the rate of interest estimated that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate a lease. Renewals are not assumed in the determination of the lease term unless they are deemed to be reasonably certain to be exercised . Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of the assets acquired net of liabilities assumed, recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations , (“ ASC 805 ”). Goodwill is not amortized, but rather subject to an annual impairment test at the reporting unit level. Management performs its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Performing a qualitative impairment assessment requires an examination of relevant events and circumstances that could have a negative impact on the carrying value of the Company, such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, earnings and cash flows, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform a quantitative assessment for impairment. If the quantitative assessment indicates that the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment charge up to this amount, but not to exceed the total carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The Company uses income and market-based valuation approaches to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company performed its annual impairment test on goodwill as of October 1, 2022. The annual impairment test resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $102.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to reduce goodwill for its Thryv U.S. Marketing Services reporting unit . See Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets . Intangible Assets The Company has definite-lived intangible assets consisting of client relationships, trademarks and domain names, covenants not to compete, and patented technologies. These intangible assets are amortized using the income forecast method over their useful lives, with the exception of covenants not to compete which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the agreements. These assets are allocated to their respective reporting units for impairment review purposes. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s intangible assets may not be recoverable, an impairment analysis of the reporting unit is completed. An impairment loss, if applicable, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s definite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. The Company uses the estimated future cash flows directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a result of, the use and eventual disposal of such reporting unit assets in determining fair values of definite-lived intangible assets. The Company’s intangible assets and their estimated useful lives are presented in the table below: Estimated Client relationships 3.5 - 4 years Trademarks and domain names 2.5 - 6 years Patented technologies 3 - 3.5 years Covenants not to compete 3 years See Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional information. Pension Obligation The Company maintains net pension obligations associated with non-contributory defined benefit pension plans that are currently frozen and incur no additional service costs. Although the plans are frozen, the Company continues to incur interest cost on the projected benefit obligations, offset by an expected return on the fair value of plan assets, which is referred to as net periodic pension cost. In addition, the Company immediately recognizes gains/(losses) associated with changes in fair value of plan assets, and projected benefit obligations that occurred during the year as a component of the total net periodic pension cost. In determining the projected benefit obligations at each reporting period, management makes certain economic and demographic actuarial assumptions, including but not limited to discount rates, lump sum interest rates, retirement rates, termination rates, mortality rates, and payment form/timing. For these assumptions, management consults with actuaries, monitors plan provisions and demographics, and reviews public market data and general economic information. Changes in these assumptions can have a significant impact on the projected benefit obligations, funding requirement, and net periodic pension cost. The Company sponsors two frozen pension plans for its employees, the Dex Pension Plan and the YP Holdings LLC Pension Plan. The Company also maintains two non-qualified pension plans for certain executives, the Dex One Pension Benefit Equalization Plan and the SuperMedia Excess Pension Plan, which are also frozen plans. Pension assets related to the Company’s qualified pension plans, which are held in master trusts and recorded in Pension obligations, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, are valued in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . See Note 11, Pensions , for additional information. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (‘‘ ASC 740 ’’). Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recorded to reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and their tax basis at each year-end. These amounts are adjusted as appropriate to reflect enacted changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The likelihood that deferred tax assets can be recovered must be assessed. The Company establishes a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In this process, certain relevant criteria are evaluated, including prior carryback years, the existence of deferred tax liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred tax assets, tax planning strategies, and taxable income in future years. A valuation allowance is established to offset any deferred income tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The Company has netted deferred tax assets for net operating losses with related unrecognized tax benefits, if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The Company establishes reserves for open tax years for uncertain tax positions that may be subject to challenge by various tax authorities. The consolidated tax provision and related accruals include the impact of such reasonably estimable losses and related interest and penalties as deemed appropriate. Tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from uncertain tax positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in (expense) benefit for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. See Note 14, Income Taxes, for additional information. The Company will report the tax impact of global intangible low-taxed income (“ GILTI ”) as a period cost when incurred. Accordingly, the Company is not providing deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI. 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 and certain intercompany balances that will not be settled in the foreseeable future are included as a component of Other income (expense), net in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Advertising Costs Advertising costs, which include media, promotional, branding and online advertising, are included in Sales and marketing expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the Company for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $29.3 million, $40.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 61,279,379 and 34,593,837 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 60,830,853 and 34,145,311 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. Each share of common stock comes with one vote with no special preferences provided to any one individual or group of common stockholders. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 26,685,542 shares of common stock in treasury. Under the Company's 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (“ 2016 Plan ”), and the Company's 2020 Incentive Award Plan (“ 2020 Plan ”), (together, the “ Stock Incentive Plans ”), the Company has granted stock options, Restricted Stock Units ( “ RSUs ” ) and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units ( “ PSUs ” ).

Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2022 | |
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | 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 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 services is recognized over time using an output method to measure the progress toward satisfying a performance obligation. The Company’s primary source of revenue is derived from the following services: Print Yellow Pages The Company prints yellow pages that are co-branded with various local telephone service providers. The Company operates as the authorized publisher of print yellow pages in some of the markets where these service providers offer telephone service. The Company holds multiple agreements governing the relationship with each service provider including publishing agreements, branding agreements, and non-competition agreements. Control over the Company’s print services transfers to the client upon delivery of the published directories containing their advertisements to the intended market. Therefore, revenue associated with print services is recognized at a point in time upon delivery to the intended market. Internet Yellow Pages IYP services include the creation of clients’ business profile, which is then primarily displayed and operated on the Yellowpages.com®, Superpages.com® and Dexknows.com® platforms domestically, and on Yellowpages.com.au, Whitepages.com.au, Whereis.com, and Truelocal.com.au platforms, internationally. IYP services represent a separate performance obligation that is recognized as revenue over time following the series guidance. Search Engine Marketing SEM solutions deliver business leads through increased traffic to clients’ websites from Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Yelp and other major engines and directories by increasing visibility and search engine results pages through paid advertising. SEM services represent a separate performance obligation that is recognized as revenue over time following the series guidance. Other Digital Media Solutions Other digital media solutions primarily consist of smaller marketing services revenue streams such as online display and social advertising, online presence and video, and SEO tools. SEO optimizes a client’s website and Google profile page with relevant keywords to increase the potential for the client’s business to be found online and ranked higher in organic search engine results. Services within these revenue streams represent separate performance obligations and are recognized as revenue either at a point in time or over time based on the transfer of control. Thryv Platform The Company offers a SaaS solution, Thryv® (‘‘ Thryv platform ’’), an SMB business management platform. The Thryv platform capabilities include tools for customer relationship management, email and text, appointment bookings, estimates, invoices, online presence, social media, reputation management and bill payment. The platform also helps SMBs to find and retain customers using online listings management and social media. Thryv Add-ons The integrated Thryv Leads® (‘‘ Thryv Leads ’’) solution is an add-on to the Thryv platform. Thryv Leads recommends an appropriate dollar budget for each SMB based on the SMB’s business vertical and market geography. Thryv Leads chooses the optimal mix of advertising solutions for each SMB by using machine learning to generate a tailored solution. Thryv Leads then automatically injects resulting business leads into the SMB’s CRM system, while also supplementing the basic consumer information with additional data. SMBs are then able to contact and engage new and existing customers. GMB Optimization services and SEO tools are an add-on to our Thryv platform that boost visibility online and increase exposure in search results for their individual services or products through a centralized Google My Business dashboard within the Thryv platform software. Users can track review ratings, upload photos and posts to share news with their clients. HIPPA protections is an add-on to our Thryv platform that secures SMB accounts in accordance with privacy and HIPAA guidelines, so you can rest assured that the information your clients/patients share with you is secure in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“ HIPPA ”), safeguarding medical information such as medical records and other identifiable health information. Revenue for performance obligations related to Thryv platform and Thryv Leads Add-ons represent separate performance obligations and are recognized as revenue over time following the series guidance. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company presents disaggregated revenue based on the type of service within its segment footnote. 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 year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $51.3 million, that was recorded in Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021 . For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $18.9 million that was recorded in Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020. Pandemic Credits During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized pandemic credits of $3.2 million and $17.5 million, respectively, provided to customers most impacted by COVID-19. The Company reflected these price concessions as a reduction to Revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not recognize any pandemic credits. |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | 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, $14.5 million in deferred tax assets, along with a $10.9 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 $20.4 million, consisting primarily of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. 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 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 14,530 Other assets 2,103 Current liabilities (18,775) Other liabilities (1,646) Bargain purchase gain (10,883) Fair value allocated to net assets acquired, net of bargain purchase gain $ 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 $88.8 million in revenue to the Thryv U.S marketing services segment since the Vivial Acquisition Date. As of December 31, 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 $3.6 million increase in the bargain purchase gain for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, pro forma revenue, including the results of the Vivial acquisition, is $1,240 million. Pro forma information for the year ended December 31, 2022 and pro forma net income information for the year ended December 31, 2021 was insignificant. 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 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) 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 10, Debt Obligations ) that was entered into on the Thryv Australia Acquisition Date. All acquisition-related costs, amounting t o $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 i n the Company's consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income . 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 10, 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. Pro Forma Results The pro forma combined financial information presented below was derived from the historical financial records of Thryv and Thryv Australia and presents the operating results of the combined Company, as if the Thryv Australia Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2020. The pro forma data gives effect to historical operating results with adjustments to interest expense, amortization and depreciation expense and related tax effects. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations that would have been realized had the Thryv Australia Acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2020, nor is it meant to be indicative of future results of operations that the combined entity will achieve: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Revenue $ 1,181,643 $ 1,299,258 Net income 140,854 134,204 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions incorporated into valuation techniques. These valuations require significant judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. When there is more than one input at different levels within the hierarchy, the fair value is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires substantial judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are inherently difficult to estimate. Changes to these inputs can have a significant impact on fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques: market approach, income approach or cost approach. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The Company’s non-financial assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, fixed assets, capitalized software and operating lease right-of-use assets are adjusted to fair value when the net book values of the assets exceed their respective fair values, resulting in an impairment charge. Such fair value measurements are predominantly based on Level 3 inputs. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Indemnification Asset On June 30, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of YP Holdings, Inc. (the “ YP Acquisition ”). As further discussed in Note 15, 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 December 31, 2022, the number of shares expected to be returned to seller is 1,394,450, which represents the number of shares required to satisfy the uncertain tax position less $8.0 million. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company's Level 1 indemnification asset was $26.5 million and $24.3 million, respectively. A gain of $2.1 million from the change in fair value of the Company’s Level 1 indemnification asset during the year ended December 31, 2022 was recorded in General and administrative expense on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and 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 1 and 2 inputs. See Note 11, 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 10, 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 10, Debt Obligations . The Term Loan (as defined in Note 10, 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 10, Debt Obligations . The following table sets forth the carrying amount and fair value of the Term Loan: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 (in thousands) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Term Loan, net $ 415,256 $ 410,065 $ 522,547 $ 533,651 |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill The Company had goodwill of $566.0 million, net of $814.8 million accumulated impairment loss, as of December 31, 2022 and $671.9 million, net of $712.8 million accumulated impairment loss, as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, $36.3 million of this goodwill was deductible for income tax purposes. The Company currently has four reporting units. Accordingly, the Company assessed its goodwill for impairment under a four reporting unit structure as of October 1, 2022. Goodwill Impairment Management performs its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test requires measurement of the fair value of the Company's reporting units, which is compared to the carrying value of the reporting units, including goodwill. Each reporting unit is valued using a discounted cash flow model which requires estimating future cash flows expected to be generated from the reporting unit, discounted to their present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Terminal values are also estimated and discounted to their present value. Assessing the recoverability of goodwill requires estimates and assumptions about revenue, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates based on budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying these factors. The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist it in the development of the assumptions and the Company’s determination of the fair value of its reporting units as of October 1, 2022 as part of the annual impairment test. The estimated fair value of one of the Company's reporting units was below its carrying value, including goodwill. The historical secular decline in industry demand for Print services along with the historical trending decline in the Company's Marketing Services client base and competition in the consumer search and display space impacted the assumptions used to estimate the discounted future cash flows of some of the Company’s reporting units for purposes of performing the interim goodwill impairment test. These factors discussed above continue to have an adverse effect on the Company's estimated cash flows used in the discounted cash flow model. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $102.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 to reduce goodwill for its Thryv U.S. Marketing Services reporting unit. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded on the Company's other reporting units during the year ended December 31, 2022. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, the Company concluded that an impairment triggering event did not occur during the three months ended December 31, 2022. The following table sets forth the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for each of the Company's reporting units for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 : Thryv U.S. Thryv International (in thousands) Marketing SaaS Marketing SaaS Total Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 390,573 $ 218,884 $ — $ — $ 609,457 Additions — — — — — Impairments — — — — — Thryv Australia Acquisition — — 64,392 — 64,392 Effects of foreign currency translation — — (1,963) — (1,963) Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 390,573 $ 218,884 $ 62,429 $ — $ 671,886 Additions — — — — — Impairments (102,000) — — — (102,000) Effects of foreign currency translation — — (3,882) — (3,882) Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 288,573 $ 218,884 $ 58,547 $ — $ 566,004 Intangible Assets The Company had definite-lived intangible assets of $34.7 million and $82.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result of the goodwill impairment noted above, the Company performed impairment tests as of December 31, 2022 on its intangible assets. Based on the Company’s test of recoverability using estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying values of the Company’s definite-lived intangible assets were determined to be recoverable, and no impairment was recognized. Accordingly, no impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for certain facilities and equipment. The Company determines at inception if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s leases have remaining terms of approximately one to three years, which may include options to extend. The Company does not have lease agreements with residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Variable lease payments included in the lease agreements are immaterial. Leases with terms of twelve months or less at inception are excluded from the calculation of operating lease right-of-use assets, the current portion of long-term lease liability, and the long-term lease liability. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use asset impairment charges of $0.2 million due to the Company's decision to consolidate operations at certain locations. Approximately $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million of the impairment charge was recorded in the Thryv U.S. Marketing Services and Thryv U.S. SaaS segments, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use asset impairment charges of $3.6 million due to the Company's decision to operate in a "Remote First" working environment and consolidate operations at certain locations. These impairment charges were recorded in the Thryv International segment. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use asset impairment charges of $20.7 million and leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures impairment charges of $4.2 million due to the Company's decision to operate in a "Remote First" working environment and consolidate operations at certain locations. Approximately $22.0 million and $2.9 million of the impairment charge was recorded in the Thryv U.S. Marketing Services and Thryv U.S. SaaS segments, respectively. These operating lease right-of-use assets were remeasured at fair value based upon the discounted cash flows of estimated sublease income using market participant assumptions. These fair value measurements are considered Level 3.

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 are equity holders of the Company, as of 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 . 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 statements of operations and comprehensive income. 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 statements of operations and comprehensive income. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.1 million will be deferred as debt issuance costs and 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 year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 of $3.5 million, $17.5 million and $17.0 million, respectively. The Company has recorded accrued interest of $1.2 million and $3.4 million, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accrued interest is included in Other current liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, no portion of the Term Loan was held by related parties who are equity holders of the Company. As of December 31, 2021, 31.4% of the Term Loan was held by related parties who are equity holders of the Company. 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 December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the Term Loan covenants. The Company 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 Company's June 30, 2017 asset-based lending (“ ABL ”) facility (the “ ABL Facility ”). The ABL Amendment was entered into in order to permit the 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 deferred and amortized over the new term of the ABL Facility. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. These debt issuance costs are included in Other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had borrowing capacity of $91.9 million u nder the ABL Facility. ABL Facility Covenants 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 December 31, 2022 , the Company was in compliance with the ABL Facility covenants. The Company expects to be in compliance with these covenants for the next twelve months. Leaseback Obligations As part of the YP Acquisition on June 30, 2017, the Company assumed certain obligations including a failed sale-leaseback liability associated with land and a building in Tucker, Georgia. In conjunction with this financing liability, the fair value of the land and building was included as a part of the total tangible assets acquired in the acquisition. A portion of this liability consists of a non-cash residual value at termination of the lease, which upon termination will be written off against the remaining carrying value of the land and building, with any amount remaining recorded as a gain on termination of the lease. In June 2021, the Company made a $10.2 million cash payment to terminate the lease, which is recorded in Other in Cash flows from financing activities on the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows. As of December 31, 2021, the lease termination resulted in the write-off of $48.1 million in net carrying value of assets under leaseback obligation and $55.2 million in leaseback obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2021, a $3.1 million l oss on the termination of leaseback obligations was recorded in Other expense on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Pensions | 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 updates the estimates used to measure the defined benefit pension obligation and plan assets annually or upon a remeasurement date to reflect the actual rate of return on plan assets and updated actuarial assumptions. The Company immediately recognizes actuarial gains and losses in its operating results in the year 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 (benefit) cost for the Company's pension plans: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Interest cost $ 14,017 $ 10,469 $ 13,949 Expected return on assets (13,534) (11,560) (16,027) Settlement (gain)/loss (1,492) (374) 819 Remeasurement (gain)/loss (43,603) (13,364) 43,495 Net periodic pension (benefit) cost $ (44,612) $ (14,829) $ 42,236 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 applicable. 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. The following table sets forth the weighted-average assumptions used for determining the Company's net periodic pension (benefit) cost: Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Pension benefit obligations discount rate 2.77 % 2.39 % 3.16 % Interest cost discount rate 2.37 % 1.71 % 2.74 % Expected return on plan assets, net of administrative expenses 3.18 % 2.69 % 3.73 % Interest crediting rate 3.02 % 3.01 % 3.00 % Rate of compensation expense increase N/A N/A N/A The following table sets forth the weighted-average assumptions used for determining the Company's pension benefit obligations: Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Pension benefit obligations discount rate 5.14 % 2.77 % Interest crediting rate 3.02 % 3.01 % Rate of compensation increase N/A N/A Pension Benefit Obligations and Plan Assets The following table summarizes the benefit obligations, plan assets, and funded status associated with the Company's pension and benefit plan: (in thousands) 2022 2021 Change in Benefit Obligations Balance as of January 1 $ 591,967 $ 636,497 Interest cost 14,017 10,469 Actuarial (gain) loss, net (117,958) (12,565) Benefits paid (43,127) (42,434) Balance as of December 31 $ 444,899 $ 591,967 Change in Plan Assets Balance as of January 1 $ 450,713 $ 444,228 Plan contributions 23,242 36,185 Actual return on plan assets, net of administrative expenses (59,330) 12,734 Benefits paid (43,127) (42,434) Balance as of December 31 $ 371,498 $ 450,713 Funded Status as of December 31 (plan assets less benefit obligations) $ (73,401) $ (141,254) The accumulated obligations for all defined pension plans was $444.9 million and $592.0 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following table sets forth cash contributions made by the Company to its qualified and non-qualified plans during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Qualified plans $ 22,500 $ 35,000 $ 43,875 Non-qualified plans 742 1,176 1,034 For fiscal year 2023, the Company expects to contribute approximately $10.0 million to the qualified plans and approximately $0.8 million to the non-qualified plans. The net actuarial gain in the benefit obligations of $45.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 was a result of gains attributable to increasing discount rates due to changes in the corporate bond markets and economic and demographic assumption updates, partially offset by losses attributable to actual asset performance falling short of expectations and plan experience different than expected. The following table sets forth the amounts associated with pension plans recognized within Pension obligations, net on the Company's consolidated balance sheets: (in thousands) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Current liabilities $ (811) $ (1,087) Long-term liabilities (72,590) (140,167) Total pension liability as of December 31 $ (73,401) $ (141,254) The following table sets forth the amounts associated with the Company's pension plans that have accumulated pension obligations greater than plan assets (underfunded): (in thousands) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Accumulated benefit obligations $ 444,899 $ 591,967 Projected benefit obligations 444,899 591,967 Plan assets $ 371,498 $ 450,713 Expected Cash Flows The following table sets forth the Company's expected future pension benefit payments : (in thousands) Expected Future 2023 $ 45,882 2024 37,689 2025 37,525 2026 37,113 2027 35,943 2028 to 2032 162,154 Pension Plan Assets The Company's overall investment strategy is to achieve a mix of assets, allowing it to meet projected benefits payments while taking into consideration expected levels of risk and return. Depending on perceived market pricing and various other factors, both active and passive approaches are utilized. The following tables set forth the fair values of the Company's pension plan assets by asset category: December 31, 2022 (in thousands) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash and cash equivalents $ 3,002 $ 3,002 $ — $ — Equity funds 35,000 35,000 — — U.S. treasuries and agencies 61,749 — 61,749 — Corporate bond funds 159,411 159,411 — — Total $ 259,162 $ 197,413 $ 61,749 $ — Hedge funds-investments measured at net asset value ( “ NAV ” ) as a practical expedient 112,336 Total plan assets $ 371,498 December 31, 2021 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,687 $ 10,687 $ — $ — Equity funds 92,689 92,689 — — U.S. treasuries and agencies 41,535 — 41,535 — Corporate bond funds 184,034 184,034 — — Total $ 328,945 $ 287,410 $ 41,535 $ — Hedge funds-investments measured at NAV as a practical expedient 121,768 Total plan assets $ 450,713 Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and high-grade money market instruments with short-term maturities. Equity funds are mutual funds invested in equity securities. U.S. treasuries and agencies are fixed income investments in U.S. government or agency securities. Corporate bonds are mutual fund investments in corporate debt. Hedge funds are private investment vehicles that use a variety of investment strategies with the objective of providing positive total returns regardless of market performance. Pension Plan Hedge Fund Investments The Company's hedge fund investments are made through limited partnership interests in various hedge funds that employ different trading strategies. Examples of strategies followed by hedge funds include directional strategies, relative value strategies and event driven strategies. A directional strategy entails taking a net long or short position in a market. Relative value seeks to take advantage of mis-pricing between two related and often correlated securities with the expectation that the pricing discrepancy will be resolved over time. Relative value strategies typically involve buying and selling related securities. An event driven strategy uses different investment approaches to profit from reactions to various events. Typically, events can include acquisitions, divestitures or restructurings that are expected to affect individual companies and may include long and short positions in common and preferred stocks, as well as debt securities and options. The Company has no unfunded commitments to these investments and has redemption rights with respect to its investments that range up to three years. The Company uses NAV to determine the fair value of all the underlying investments which do not have a readily determinable fair market value, and either have the attributes of an investment company or prepare their financial statements consistent with the measurement principles of an investment company. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company used NAV to value its hedge fund investments. The following table sets forth the weighted asset allocation percentages for the pension plans by asset category: December 31, 2022 2021 Cash and cash equivalents 0.8 % 2.4 % U.S. treasuries and agencies, corporate bond funds, and other fixed income 59.5 % 50.0 % Equity funds 9.4 % 20.6 % Hedge funds 30.3 % 27.0 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % Prospective Pension Plan Investment Strategy The Company uses a liability driven investment (“ LDI ”) strategy, and as part of the strategy, the Company may invest in hedge fund investments, fixed income investments, equity investments and will hold an adequate amount of cash and cash equivalents to meet daily pension obligations. Expected Rate of Return for Pension Assets The expected rate of return for the pension assets represents the average rate of return to be earned on plan assets over the period the benefits are expected to be paid. The expected rate of return on the plan assets is developed from the expected future return on each asset class, weighted by the expected allocation of pension assets to that asset class. Historical performance is considered for the types of assets in which the plan invests. Independent market forecasts and economic and capital market considerations are also utilized. For 2023, the expected rates of return, net of administrative expenses, for the Dex Pension Plan and the YP Holdings LLC Pension Plan are 3.8% and 5.0%, respectively, with a weighted-average expected rate of return of 4.0%. In 2022, the actual rates of return on assets for the Dex Pension Plan and the YP Holdings LLC Pension Plan were (11.0)% and (22.7)%, respectively. In 2021, the actual rates of return on assets for the Dex Pension Plan and the YP Holdings LLC Pension Plan were 2.4% and 5.1%, respectively. Savings Plan Benefits The Company sponsors a defined contribution savings plan to provide opportunities for eligible employees to save for retirement. Substantially all of the Company's employees are eligible to participate in the plan. Participant contributions may be made on a pre-tax, after-tax, or Roth basis. Under the plan, a certain percentage of eligible employee contributions are matched with Company cash contributions that are allocated to the participants' current investment elections. The Company recognizes its contributions as savings plan expense based on its matching obligation to participating employees. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded total savings plan expense of $9.2 million, $7.7 million, and $3.0 million, respectively. The decline in savings plan expense for year ended December 31, 2020 was due to the Company's suspension of the employee matching program in April 2020 as part of managing costs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. |

Stock-Based Compensation and Stockholders' Equity | Stock-Based Compensation and Stockholders' Equity The Stock Incentive Plans provide for several forms of incentive awards to be granted to designated eligible employees, non-management directors, and independent contractors providing services to the Company. On September 3, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors adopted and the Company's stockholders approved, the Company's 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan replaced the 2016 Plan, as the Company determined not to make additional awards under the 2016 Plan following the effectiveness of the 2020 Plan. However, the terms of the 2016 Plan continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted under the 2016 Plan. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan is 6,166,667. Any shares reserved for issuance, but unissued, forfeited or lapse unexercised under the 2016 Plan will be made available under the 2020 Plan for issuance. On May 18, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2020 Plan to provide that commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2030, there will be an automatic annual increase in the total number of shares of common stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with the 2020 Plan of up to 5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding year. On January 1, 2022, the 2020 Plan share pool increased by 1,703,584 shares, 5% of the outstanding common stock of 34,071,684 shares on December 31, 2021. The following table sets forth stock-based compensation expense (benefit), including the effects of gains and losses from changes in fair value during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, recognized by the Company in the following line items in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income during the periods presented: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Cost of services $ 421 $ 380 $ (72) Sales and marketing 6,634 3,490 266 General and administrative 7,573 4,224 (3,089) Stock-based compensation expense (benefit) $ 14,628 $ 8,094 $ (2,895) The following table sets forth stock-based compensation expense by award type during the periods presented: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Stock options $ 6,156 $ 6,351 RSUs 3,569 — PSUs 3,141 — ESPP 1,762 1,743 Stock-based compensation expense $ 14,628 $ 8,094 Stock Options No stock options were issued during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. On October 15, 2020 and December 11, 2020, the Company granted 388,892 and 482,000 stock options, respectively, to certain employees and non-management directors at an exercise price of $13.82 and $10.35 per share, respectively, that vest over a three-year to four-year period ending on October 15, 2024 and have a 10-year term from the date of grant. On November 23, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved (i) a one-time stock option repricing for certain previously granted and still outstanding options held by the Company’s employees; and (ii) for certain officers, contingent upon each such officer’s written consent with respect to certain of his or her own previously granted and still outstanding options, (1) a one-time stock option repricing and (2) a delayed vesting schedule for such options (“ Repricing ”). Except for the reduction in the exercise price of the outstanding options and the officer vesting change described above, all outstanding stock options under the 2016 Plan will continue to remain outstanding in accordance with the current terms and conditions of the 2016 Plan and the applicable award agreements. As a result of the Repricing, 2,377,886 vested and unvested stock options outstanding, with an original exercise price of $16.20 per share, were repriced to $13.82 per share. The Repricing resulted in one-time incremental stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million, which will be recognized over the remaining term of the repriced options. A stock option holder may pay the option exercise price in cash, by delivering to the Company unrestricted shares having a value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price, by a cashless broker-assisted exercise, by a loan from the Company, (unless prohibited by law) or by a combination of these methods. Any unvested portion of the stock option award will be forfeited upon the employee’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason before the date the option vests, except that the Compensation Committee of the Company, at its sole option and election, may provide for the accelerated vesting of the stock option award. If the Company terminates the employee without cause or the employee resigns for good reason, then the employee is eligible to exercise the stock options that vested on or before the effective date of such termination or resignation. If the Company terminates the employee for cause, then the employee's stock options, whether or not vested, shall terminate immediately upon termination of employment. The Compensation Committee of the Company shall have the authority to determine the treatment of awards in the event of a change in control of the Company or the affiliate which employs the award holder. The Company estimates the fair value of its common stock as described in Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Common Stock Fair Value . The fair value of each stock option was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model used for this valuation/revaluation incorporates assumptions regarding inputs as follows: • Due to the lack of trading volume of the Company's common stock, expected volatility is based on the debt-leveraged historical volatility of the Company's peer companies; • The risk-free interest rate is determined using the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected life option; • Expected life is calculated using the simplified method based on the average life of the vesting term and the contractual life of each award; and • Due to the lack of historical turnover information relating to the option holder group, the Company has estimated a forfeiture rate of zero. The following tables sets forth the weighted-average stock option fair values and assumptions: Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Weighted-average fair value N/A N/A $ 6.97 Dividend yield N/A N/A — Volatility N/A N/A 52.06 % Risk-free interest rate N/A N/A 0.30 % Expected life (in years) N/A N/A 4.82 The following tables reflect changes in the Company's outstanding stock-based compensation awards for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021: 2022 Number of Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate Outstanding stock option awards at January 1 3,733,814 $ 11.59 7.52 $ 110,298 Granted — — — — Exercises (issuance of shares) (173,709) 10.87 6.22 2,908 Forfeitures/expirations (26,598) 11.99 7.44 365 Outstanding stock option awards as of December 31 3,533,507 $ 11.62 6.52 $ 26,070 Options exercisable as of December 31 2,132,040 $ 10.65 6.07 $ 17,797 As of December 31, 2022, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company's stock options was $2.2 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.7 years. 2021 Number of Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate Outstanding stock option awards at January 1 4,278,160 $ 11.20 8.36 $ 9,855 Granted — — — — Exercises (issuance of shares) (446,344) 7.69 5.91 8,459 Forfeitures/expirations (98,002) 13.01 8.52 2,078 Outstanding stock option awards at December 31 3,733,814 $ 11.59 7.52 $ 110,298 Options exercisable as of December 31 1,293,492 $ 8.61 6.78 $ 42,060 As of December 31, 2021, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company's stock options was $8.5 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. Proceeds from Exercises of Stock Options Cash proceeds received from exercises of stock options during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $2.8 million, $7.0 million and $11.2 million, respectively. The associated tax benefit from options exercised were $0.7 million, $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. 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 RSUs to the Company’s named executive officers under 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 December 31, 2022, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company's RSU awards was $9.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. As of December 31, 2022, there were 517,135 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 approved a form of award agreement (the “ PSU Award Agreement” ) for grants of 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 December 31, 2022, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company's PSU awards was $9.5 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2 years. As of December 31, 2022, there were 473,371 PSUs expected to vest with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $26.76 per unit. The following tables sets forth the weighted-average PSUs, with market conditions, fair values and assumptions: Year Ended December 31, 2022 Weighted-average fair value $ 27.21 Dividend yield — Volatility 77.12 % Risk-free interest rate 2.87 % Expected life (in years) 2.66 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The ESPP was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on September 10, 2020 and became effective on September 23, 2020. Under the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase a limited number of shares of our common stock at the lesser of 85% of the market value at the beginning of the offering period or 85% of the market value at the end of the offering period. The ESPP is intended to enable eligible employees to use payroll deductions to purchase shares of stock in offerings under the plan, and thereby acquire an interest in the Company. The maximum aggregate number of shares of stock available for purchase under the plan by eligible employees is 2,000,000 shares. A total of 157,250 shares were issued on June 30, 2022, and 114,945 shares were issued on December 31, 2022, for a total of 272,195 shares issued through the ESPP during the year ended December 31, 2022. A total of 149,865 shares were issued on June 30, 2021, and 73,627 shares were issued on December 31, 2021, for a total of 223,492 shares issued through the ESPP during the year ended December 31, 2021. Stock Warrants As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had fully vested outstanding warrants of 9,427,343 and 9,432,064, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the holders of such warrants were entitled to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 5,237,413 shares and 5,240,035 shares, respectively, of common stock. The warrants can be exercised at a strike price of $24.39 per common share. The warrants were issued in 2016 upon the Company's emergence from its pre-packaged bankruptcy. These warrants expire on August 15, 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 4,721 and 1,027,777 warrants, respectively, were exercised. Cash proceeds from exercises of stock warrants during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0.1 million and $13.9 million, respectively, and are recorded in Proceeds from exercises of stock options and stock warrants in Cash flows from financing activities on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Private Placement On August 25, 2020, the Company completed a private placement of 68,857 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $10.17 per share. The total cash received was $0.4 million, net of expenses. These shares were issued from Treasury stock. This resulted in a loss on the reissuance of Treasury stock of $0.8 million recorded as a reduction in Additional paid-in-capital. Share Repurchases On January 28, 2020, the Company repurchased 1,034,568 shares of its outstanding common stock from a single stockholder for a total purchase price of $12.6 million. On March 10, 2020, the Company repurchased 817,778 shares of its outstanding common stock for a total purchase price of $9.2 million.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The following table sets forth the components of the Company's income before income tax (expense) benefit: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 United States $ 68,706 $ 168,965 $ 41,238 Foreign 30,269 (34,651) — Total income before income tax (expense) benefit $ 98,975 $ 134,314 $ 41,238 The following table sets forth the components of the Company's income tax (expense) benefit: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Current tax (expense): Federal $ (42,065) $ (31,690) $ (30,277) State and local (6,579) (5,852) (7,213) Foreign (11,096) (14,494) — Total current tax (expense) (59,740) (52,036) (37,490) Deferred tax (expense) benefit: Federal 9,096 (4,378) 101,613 State and local (3,439) 2,560 43,860 Foreign 9,456 21,117 — Total deferred tax benefit 15,113 19,299 145,473 Total income tax (expense) benefit $ (44,627) $ (32,737) $ 107,983 The following table sets forth the principal reasons for the differences between the effective income tax rate and the statutory federal income tax rate for the Company: Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Statutory federal tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % Foreign rate differential 0.1 % (3.6) % — % State and local taxes, net of federal tax benefit 9.1 % 4.3 % 7.4 % Change in value of indemnification asset (0.4) % — % 2.8 % Non-deductible executive compensation 1.8 % 1.0 % 3.5 % Stock compensation — % (0.5) % 4.4 % Non-deductible transaction costs 0.1 % 4.2 % 4.9 % Change in federal and state valuation allowance (0.7) % (2.3) % (256.0) % Change in unrecognized tax benefits (including FBOS) 1.9 % (1.4) % (48.7) % Bargain purchase gain (2.2) % — % — % Non-deductible goodwill impairment 21.6 % — % — % Federal research and development credit (1.4) % — % — % Other, net (5.8) % 1.7 % (1.2) % Effective tax rate 45.1 % 24.4 % (261.9) % Deferred Taxes Deferred taxes arise because of differences in the book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce gross deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The following table sets forth the significant components of the Company's deferred income tax assets and liabilities: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Deferred tax assets Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 4,453 $ 5,099 Deferred and other compensation 16,638 13,956 Capital investments 3,809 3,795 Fixed assets and capitalized software 4,552 — Debt, capitalized fees, and other interest — 329 Pension and other post-employment benefits 20,063 37,569 Operating lease liability 6,176 9,726 Reserve for facility exit costs 5,039 5,070 Net operating loss and credit carryforwards (1) 28,069 26,522 Non-compete and other agreements 44,210 40,335 Goodwill and other intangible assets 17,033 — Other, net 10,077 6,435 Total deferred tax assets $ 160,119 $ 148,836 Valuation allowance (21,109) (21,338) Net deferred tax assets $ 139,010 $ 127,498 Deferred tax liabilities Deferred revenue $ — $ (21,033) Goodwill and other intangible assets (8,694) (6,764) Deferred costs (1,923) (2,254) Investment in subsidiaries (4,809) (4,828) Operating lease right-of-use assets (6,270) (7,572) Debt, capitalized fees, and other interest (24) — Fixed assets and capitalized software (961) (2,466) Other, net (2,983) (2,814) Total deferred tax (liabilities) $ (25,664) $ (47,731) Net deferred tax asset $ 113,346 $ 79,767 (1) For the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company had gross federal net operating loss carryforwards of $25.3 million, subject to an annual Section 382 limitation of $0.4 million. The Company also had net operating loss and credit carryforward deferred tax assets of $22.8 million and $26.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 , respectively, for state income tax purposes, which will begin to expire in 2023. Additionally, $0.8 million of the state net operating loss carryforward deferred tax asset balance is subject to a Section 382 limitation. The Company establishes a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In evaluating the ability to realize deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, in determining whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed for some or all of the Company's deferred tax assets. In determining the need for a valuation allowance on the Company's deferred tax assets, the Company places greater weight on recent and objectively verifiable current information. The Company has considered taxable income in prior carryback years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and future taxable income in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. If the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2022, management has determined that it is more likely than not that its deferred taxes will be realized, with the exception of certain indefinite lived deferred tax assets and certain state net operating loss carryforwards of $21.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a net valuation allowance decrease of $0.2 million on the basis of management’s reassessment of the amount of its deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. Valuation Allowance The following table sets forth changes in the Company’s valuation allowance: (in thousands) 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of period $ 21,338 $ 24,307 Net change in valuation allowance (229) (2,969) Balance at end of period $ 21,109 $ 21,338 Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company records unrecognized tax benefits for the estimated risk associated with tax positions taken on tax returns. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various other state and foreign jurisdictions. The material jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to potential examination include the United States and Australia. Generally, tax years 2019 through 2021 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and tax years 2018 through 2021 are subject to examination by the Australian Tax Authority. State tax returns are open for examination for an average of three years; however, certain jurisdictions remain open to examination longer than three years due to the existence of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company received IRS FPAA notification letters (Form 1830-C) dated August 29, 2018 for IRS adjustments related to the tax years 2012-2015, for which the Company has previously adequately reserved. See Note 15, Contingent Liabilities . The Company is also currently under California Franchise Tax Board tax examination for tax years 2013 and 2014, Colorado state tax examination for tax years 2017 through 2020, Maine state tax examination for tax years 2018 through 2020, and New York state tax examination for tax years 2019 through 2021. The Company does not have any other significant state or local examinations in process. The following table reflects changes to and balances of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits: (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Balance at beginning of period $ 20,834 $ 23,703 $ 48,305 Gross additions for tax positions related to the current year 423 — — Gross additions for tax positions related to prior years 332 — (22,186) Gross reductions for tax positions related to the lapse of applicable statute of limitations (146) (2,869) (2,416) Balance at end of period $ 21,443 $ 20,834 $ 23,703 For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company's unrecognized tax benefit increased by $0.6 million, while for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company's unrecognized tax benefit decreased by $2.9 million, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company's unrecognized tax benefit decreased by $24.6 million. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to tax positions related to research and development credits claimed for tax years 2021 and 2022 offset by the reduction for tax positions related to the lapse of applicable statute of limitations. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to the reduction for tax positions related to the lapse of applicable statute of limitations. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to a partial release of uncertain tax positions due to favorable developments with ongoing U.S. federal tax examinations. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $21.4 million, $20.8 million, and $23.7 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, that if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The Company recorded adjustments to interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of the expense/(benefit) for income taxes in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income of $2.1 million, $1.2 million, and $(2.3) million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits include $11.7 million, $9.6 million, and $8.4 million of accrued interest as of December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the $21.4 million unrecognized tax benefit liability presented above for the year ended December 31, 2022, could decrease by $20.7 million within the next twelve months, due to an anticipated settlement with the tax authorities and the expiration of the statute of limitations in certain jurisdictions. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“ IRA ”) was enacted into law and is effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA introduces a 15% alternative minimum tax based on the financial statement income of certain large corporations and imposes a 1% excise tax on share repurchases, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We do not expect the Inflation Reduction Act to have a material impact on our financial results in future periods. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingent Liabilities | 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, 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 for YP occurred on May 9, 2022. The Company is working with the Appeals Officer to schedule settlement 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 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 December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has reserved $34.0 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 $26.5 million and $24.3 million at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. On February 3, 2023, the Appeals Officer proposed a settlement with respect to the tax years 2012 through June 2015 for the YP LLC partnership, which the Company informally accepted. As a result, the Company expects to release a portion of its unrecognized tax benefit reserve during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Other New York Sales, Excise, and Use Tax Audit On August 19, 2020, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance issued a notice to the Company assigning a routine audit of the Company's sales, excise, and use tax account for the audit period covering March 1, 2017 through August 31, 2022. On September 30, 2022, the Company received the final Statement of Proposed Audit Changed for Sales and Use Tax for $0.5 million, including interest. The Company reversed the $3.2 million reserve existing on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022. Ohio Use Tax Audit In November 2021, the Company received a notice from the Ohio Department of Taxation Audit Division requesting to schedule an audit of the Ohio use tax records for the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2022. The Company has reserved $1.3 million for this period, which is accrued on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information During the second quarter of 2022, the Company started reflecting its Thryv International SaaS business as a separate reportable segment, as discussed in Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company manages its operations using four 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: Year Ended December 31, 2022 Thryv U.S. Thryv International (in thousands) Marketing Services SaaS Marketing Services SaaS Total Revenue $ 820,032 $ 211,801 $ 166,010 $ 4,545 $ 1,202,388 Segment Gross Profit 539,543 130,272 108,496 2,071 780,382 Segment Adjusted EBITDA 271,629 (3,686) 75,106 (9,707) 333,342 Year Ended December 31, 2021 Thryv U.S. Thryv International (in thousands) Marketing Services SaaS Marketing Services SaaS Total Revenue $ 797,493 $ 170,498 $ 144,837 $ 554 $ 1,113,382 Segment Gross Profit 539,866 104,944 60,761 (232) 705,339 Segment Adjusted EBITDA 318,230 (14,004) 53,150 (6,853) 350,523 Year Ended December 31, 2020 Thryv U.S. Thryv International (in thousands) Marketing Services SaaS Marketing Services SaaS Total Revenue $ 979,611 $ 129,824 $ — $ — $ 1,109,435 Segment Gross Profit 610,479 59,214 — — 669,693 Segment Adjusted EBITDA 358,804 13,035 — — 371,839 A reconciliation of the Company’s Income before income tax (expense) benefit to total Segment Adjusted EBITDA is as follows : Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Income before income tax (expense) benefit $ 98,975 $ 134,314 $ 41,238 Impairment charges 102,222 3,611 24,911 Depreciation and amortization expense 88,392 105,473 146,523 Interest expense 60,407 66,374 68,539 Restructuring and integration expenses 17,804 18,145 28,459 Stock-based compensation expense (benefit) 14,628 8,094 (2,895) Transaction costs (1) 6,119 25,059 20,999 Other components of net periodic pension (benefit) cost (44,612) (14,829) 42,236 Non-cash (gain) loss from remeasurement of indemnification asset (2,148) (1) 5,443 Other (8,445) 4,283 (3,614) Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA $ 333,342 $ 350,523 $ 371,839 (1) Consists of Vivial Acquisition, Thryv Australia Acquisition and other transaction cost s.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 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 include the financial statements of Thryv Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items and accruals, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the December 31, 2022 presentation. All conforming reclassifications were immaterial and did not impact the Company’s Net income. These conforming reclassifications did not result in material changes to the presentation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. |
Use of Estimates | 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. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue based on the revenue recognition standard, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , (“ ASC 606 ”). The Company determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through application of the following five steps: (i) identify a customer contract, (ii) identify performance obligations, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price, and (v) recognize revenue, each of which is described further below. Identify the Customer Contract The Company accounts for a contract with a client when approval and commitment from all parties is obtained, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the client and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods. Typical payment terms provide that the Company’s clients pay within 20 days of the invoice. Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract and Recognize Revenue The Company has determined that each of its 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. Therefore, revenue associated with print services is recognized at a point in time upon delivery to the intended market. 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 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 services is recognized over time using an output method to measure the progress toward satisfying a performance obligation. As part of the SaaS offerings, the Company enters into certain development and reseller agreements with third parties. Based upon the control indicators outlined in ASC 606, the Company acts as a principal in these arrangements and recognizes revenue on a gross basis because it controls the services before they are transferred to clients. Determine and Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract The transaction price of a contract consists of fixed and variable consideration components pursuant to the applicable contractual terms and excludes sales tax. The Company’s contracts have variable consideration in the form of price concessions and service credits. Service credits may be issued to a client at the discretion of the Company related to client satisfaction issues and claims. The Company performs a monthly review of expected service credits at a portfolio level based on the Company’s history of adjustments and expected trends. The provision for service credits is recorded as a reduction to revenue in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For performance obligations recognized under the series guidance, variable consideration is allocated. When necessary, variable consideration is estimated and included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. These judgments involve consideration of historical and expected experience with the client and other similar clients. The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling price is the price at which the Company would sell a promised service separately to a client. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Often times, the Company does not have sufficient standalone sales information, as contracts with customers generally include multiple performance obligations. When standalone sales information is not available, the Company estimates standalone selling price using information that may include average selling price, market conditions, entity specific factors such as pricing and discounting strategies, and other inputs. Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract with a Customer Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer The Company has determined that sales commissions paid to employees and certified marketing representatives associated with selling the Company’s print, digital and SaaS services are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract. Commissions related to renewal contracts are not commensurate with costs incurred to obtain an initial contract. Therefore, commissions incurred to obtain a new contract are capitalized and recognized over the benefit period, which is determined to be eighteen months based on expected contract renewals, the Company’s technology development life-cycle, and other factors. Commissions for renewals of existing contracts are expensed as incurred under a practical expedient, which allows an entity to expense costs to obtain a contract with an amortization period of less than twelve months. Deferred costs to obtain contracts are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the expense. The current portion is included in Other current assets and the non-current portion is included in Other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred costs to obtain contracts is included as a component of Sales and marketing expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The following table sets for the Company's deferred costs to obtain contracts, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021: (in thousands) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Deferred costs to obtain contracts - Current assets $ 6,855 $ 7,126 Deferred costs to obtain contracts - Non-current assets 741 1,812 Amortization of the Company's deferred costs to obtain contracts, for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Amortization of deferred costs to obtain contracts $ 12,110 $ 11,847 $ 13,628 Costs to Fulfill a Contract with a Customer Direct costs associated with fulfilling PYP contracts with a client include costs related to printing and distribution. Directly attributable costs incurred to fulfill print services are capitalized as incurred and then expensed at the time of delivery, in line with the recognition of revenue.

Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance | Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance Accounts receivable represents billed amounts for which invoices have been provided to clients and unbilled amounts for which revenue has been recognized, but amounts have not yet been billed to the client. Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company’s exposure to expected credit losses depends on the financial condition of its clients and other macroeconomic factors. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses based upon its estimate of potential credit losses. This allowance is based upon historical and current client collection trends, any identified client-specific collection issues, and current as well as expected future economic conditions and market trends. See Note 6, Allowance for Credit Losse s, for additional information. The following table represents the components of Accounts receivable, net of allowance: December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Accounts receivable $ 80,369 $ 81,445 Unbilled accounts receivable (1) 219,095 214,995 Total accounts receivable $ 299,464 $ 296,440 Less: allowance for credit losses (14,766) (17,387) Accounts receivable, net of allowance $ 284,698 $ 279,053 (1) Unbilled accounts receivable relates primarily to the Company’s print services, which are recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the print services to the intended market(s), but are billed to customers monthly after the delivery of the print services. Unbilled accounts receivable are reclassified as billed accounts receivable monthly when the customers are invoiced. The following table represents the components of unbilled accounts receivable from contracts with customers: December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Unbilled accounts receivable - current $ 219,095 $ 214,995 Unbilled accounts receivable - non-current (1) 23,653 — Total unbilled accounts receivable $ 242,748 $ 214,995 (1) Included in Other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments subject to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company deposits cash on hand with major financial institutions. Cash balances at major financial institutions may exceed limits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Approximately 90% of revenue in all periods presented was derived from sales to local SMBs that operate in limited geographical areas. These SMBs are usually billed in monthly installments when the services begin and, in turn, make monthly payments, requiring the Company to extend credit to these clients. The remaining approximately 10% of revenue in all periods presented was derived from the sale of marketing services to larger businesses that advertise regionally or nationally. Contracted certified marketing representatives (“ CMRs ”) purchase advertising on behalf of these businesses. Payment for advertising is due when the advertising is published and is received directly from the CMRs, net of the CMRs’ commission. The CMRs are responsible for billing and collecting from these businesses. While the Company still has exposure to credit risks, historically, the losses from these clients have been less than that of local SMBs. The Company conducts its operations primarily in the United States and Australia . In 2022, the Company's top ten directories, as meas ured by revenue, accounted for approximately 1% of total revenue. No single directory or client accounted for more than 1% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, no single client or CMR accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. |
Fixed Assets and Capitalized Software | Fixed Assets and Capitalized SoftwareProperty, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The cost of additions and improvements associated with fixed assets are capitalized if they have a useful life in excess of one year. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, including the cost of replacing minor items that are not considered substantial improvements, are expensed as incurred. When fixed assets are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are deducted from the accounts and any gains or losses on disposition are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances may indicate that the carrying amount of a fixed asset may not be recoverable. Costs associated with internal use software are capitalized during the application development stage, if they have a useful life in excess of one year. Subsequent additions, modifications, or upgrades to internal use software are capitalized only to the extent that they allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. Capitalized software is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances may indicate that the carrying amount of a capitalized software may not be recoverable. The remaining useful lives of fixed assets and capitalized software are reviewed annually for reasonableness. Fixed assets and capitalized software are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are presented in the following table: Estimated Buildings and building improvements 8 - 30 years Leasehold improvements (1) 1 - 8 years Computer and data processing equipment 3 years Furniture and fixtures 7 years Capitalized software 1.5 - 5 years Other 3 - 7 years (1) Leasehold improvements are depreciated at the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. See Note 7, Fixed Assets and Capitalized Software . |
Leases | Leases The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. The Company combines lease and non-lease components for all asset classes, except real estate leases. For real estate leases, consideration is allocated to lease and non-lease components based on a relative standalone price. Leases are included in Other assets, Other current liabilities, and Other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense is recorded within General and administrative expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Leases with a duration of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related expense is recorded as incurred. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. If applicable, the right-of-use asset may include any initial direct costs incurred, lease payments made prior to the commencement, and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. For these calculations, the Company considers only payments that are fixed or determinable at the time of commencement or any variable payments that depend on an index or a rate. The Company determines an incremental borrowing rate (“ IBR ”) based on the information available at commencement date to calculate the present value of lease payments. The IBR represents the rate of interest estimated that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate a lease. Renewals are not assumed in the determination of the lease term unless they are deemed to be reasonably certain to be exercised . |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of the assets acquired net of liabilities assumed, recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations , (“ ASC 805 ”). Goodwill is not amortized, but rather subject to an annual impairment test at the reporting unit level. Management performs its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Performing a qualitative impairment assessment requires an examination of relevant events and circumstances that could have a negative impact on the carrying value of the Company, such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, earnings and cash flows, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform a quantitative assessment for impairment. If the quantitative assessment indicates that the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment charge up to this amount, but not to exceed the total carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The Company uses income and market-based valuation approaches to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company performed its annual impairment test on goodwill as of October 1, 2022. The annual impairment test resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $102.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to reduce goodwill for its Thryv U.S. Marketing Services reporting unit . See Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets . Intangible Assets The Company has definite-lived intangible assets consisting of client relationships, trademarks and domain names, covenants not to compete, and patented technologies. These intangible assets are amortized using the income forecast method over their useful lives, with the exception of covenants not to compete which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the agreements. These assets are allocated to their respective reporting units for impairment review purposes. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s intangible assets may not be recoverable, an impairment analysis of the reporting unit is completed. An impairment loss, if applicable, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s definite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. The Company uses the estimated future cash flows directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a result of, the use and eventual disposal of such reporting unit assets in determining fair values of definite-lived intangible assets. The Company’s intangible assets and their estimated useful lives are presented in the table below: Estimated Client relationships 3.5 - 4 years Trademarks and domain names 2.5 - 6 years Patented technologies 3 - 3.5 years Covenants not to compete 3 years See Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional information. |
Pension Obligation | Pension Obligation The Company maintains net pension obligations associated with non-contributory defined benefit pension plans that are currently frozen and incur no additional service costs. Although the plans are frozen, the Company continues to incur interest cost on the projected benefit obligations, offset by an expected return on the fair value of plan assets, which is referred to as net periodic pension cost. In addition, the Company immediately recognizes gains/(losses) associated with changes in fair value of plan assets, and projected benefit obligations that occurred during the year as a component of the total net periodic pension cost. In determining the projected benefit obligations at each reporting period, management makes certain economic and demographic actuarial assumptions, including but not limited to discount rates, lump sum interest rates, retirement rates, termination rates, mortality rates, and payment form/timing. For these assumptions, management consults with actuaries, monitors plan provisions and demographics, and reviews public market data and general economic information. Changes in these assumptions can have a significant impact on the projected benefit obligations, funding requirement, and net periodic pension cost. The Company sponsors two frozen pension plans for its employees, the Dex Pension Plan and the YP Holdings LLC Pension Plan. The Company also maintains two non-qualified pension plans for certain executives, the Dex One Pension Benefit Equalization Plan and the SuperMedia Excess Pension Plan, which are also frozen plans. Pension assets related to the Company’s qualified pension plans, which are held in master trusts and recorded in Pension obligations, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, are valued in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . See Note 11, Pensions , for additional information. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (‘‘ ASC 740 ’’). Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recorded to reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and their tax basis at each year-end. These amounts are adjusted as appropriate to reflect enacted changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The likelihood that deferred tax assets can be recovered must be assessed. The Company establishes a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In this process, certain relevant criteria are evaluated, including prior carryback years, the existence of deferred tax liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred tax assets, tax planning strategies, and taxable income in future years. A valuation allowance is established to offset any deferred income tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The Company has netted deferred tax assets for net operating losses with related unrecognized tax benefits, if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The Company establishes reserves for open tax years for uncertain tax positions that may be subject to challenge by various tax authorities. The consolidated tax provision and related accruals include the impact of such reasonably estimable losses and related interest and penalties as deemed appropriate. Tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from uncertain tax positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in (expense) benefit for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. See Note 14, Income Taxes, for additional information. The Company will report the tax impact of global intangible low-taxed income (“ GILTI ”) as a period cost when incurred. Accordingly, the Company is not providing deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI. |
Foreign Currency | 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 and certain intercompany balances that will not be settled in the foreseeable future are included as a component of Other income (expense), net in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. |
Advertising Cost | Advertising Costs Advertising costs, which include media, promotional, branding and online advertising, are included in Sales and marketing expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the Company for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $29.3 million, $40.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively. |
Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation | Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 61,279,379 and 34,593,837 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 60,830,853 and 34,145,311 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. Each share of common stock comes with one vote with no special preferences provided to any one individual or group of common stockholders. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 26,685,542 shares of common stock in treasury. Under the Company's 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (“ 2016 Plan ”), and the Company's 2020 Incentive Award Plan (“ 2020 Plan ”), (together, the “ Stock Incentive Plans ”), the Company has granted stock options, Restricted Stock Units ( “ RSUs ” ) and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units ( “ PSUs ” ). As of and subsequent to October 1, 2020 As a result of completing the Company's direct listing on Nasdaq on October 1, 2020 (the “ direct listing ”), the Company no longer intends to cash settle stock options upon exercise. As of October 1, 2020, based on the Company’s intention and ability to equity settle stock options upon exercise, stock options granted as of and subsequent to October 1, 2020 are measured at fair value and classified as equity awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation . The Company accounts for all stock options, RSUs and PSUs granted using a fair value method. Compensation expense for equity classified stock-based compensation awards is based on the fair value of the awards. The measurement date for awards is generally the date of the grant. The fair value is recognized over the requisite service period (generally three to four years). The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur as a cumulative adjustment to stock-based compensation expense. See Note 12, Stock-Based Compensation and Stockholders' Equity, for additional information . Prior to October 1, 2020 Prior to the completion of the direct listing, the Company intended to cash settle options upon exercise and therefore, stock options were classified as liability awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation . The fair value of the liability classified stock-based compensation awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, with re-measurement occurring each subsequent reporting date at fair value until the award was settled. Compensation expense for liability classified stock-based compensation awards was based on the current fair value of the awards. This fair value was recognized over the requisite service period (generally three years). The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occurred as a cumulative adjustment to stock-based compensation expense. See Note 12, Stock-Based Compensation and Stockholders' Equity, for additional information . |
Common Stock Fair Value | Common Stock Fair Value The common stock fair value is one of the significant valuation inputs of the indemnification asset and stock-based compensation awards. As of and Subsequent to September 30, 2020 The Company completed the direct listing on October 1, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s common stock is based on the THRY Nasdaq per share price. Prior to September 30, 2020 The absence of an active market for the Company's common stock required the Company to determine the fair value of its common stock. The Company obtained contemporaneous third-party valuations to assist it in determining fair value. These contemporaneous third-party valuations used methodologies, approaches and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The Company determined the fair value utilizing the income approach, which estimated value based on market participant expectations of future cash flows the Company will generate. These future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate based on the Company's weighted average cost of capital, which reflects the risk of achieving the projected cash flows. Significant inputs of the income approach also include the long-term financial projections of the Company along with its long-term growth rate and decline rate, which is used to calculate the residual value of the Company before discounting to present value. The fair value of the common stock was also discounted based on the lack of marketability. |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (the “ numerator ”) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the “ denominator ”) during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by including both the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and any dilutive common stock equivalents within the denominator (diluted shares outstanding). The Company's common stock equivalents could consist of stock options, RSUs, PSUs, Employee Stock Purchase Plan shares (“ ESPP ”) and stock warrants, to the extent any are determined to be dilutive under the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed proceeds relating to both the exercise price of stock options, RSUs, PSUs, ESPP shares and stock warrants, as well as the average remaining unrecognized fair value of stock options, are used to repurchase common shares at the average fair value price of the Company's common stock during the period. If the number of shares that could be repurchased, exceed the number of shares that could be issued upon exercise, the common stock equivalent is determined to be anti-dilutive. See Note 13, Earnings per Share, for additional information . |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 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. |
