Thryv Grows SaaS Revenue 25% Year-Over-Year in Fourth Quarter 2022

Company exceeds all guidance metrics

Fourth quarter total SaaS clients increased 13% and SaaS monthly active users increased 37% year-over-year

Thryv Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:THRY) (“Thryv” or the “Company”), the provider of the leading small business software platform, Thryv®, announced that it grew its SaaS revenue 25% year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2022.

“We delivered strong fourth quarter results, closing out a record year at Thryv,” said Joe Walsh, Thryv Chairman and CEO. “We exceeded all of our guidance metrics – reporting strong SaaS revenue growth, improving SaaS Adjusted EBITDA and increasing marketing services revenue. Our key SaaS metrics, subscribers and ARPU, grew double digits year-over-year as a result of our focus on innovation and execution. Our software platform is driving time to first value for clients. We hear from clients they want to reduce friction by consolidating their multiple point solutions and logins. With our all-in-one cloud based platform, SMBs have one login and one dashboard to gain greater business efficiency.”

“As we begin 2023, we are focused on our strategic initiatives - increasing engagement and usage - because these lead to increased renewal and spend," Walsh continued. "In support of our goal of driving engagement, we recently announced the move to a multiple-center platform. By offering multiple centers, we can solve additional problems small to medium businesses (SMBs) face.”

Marketing Center, Thryv's newest center, delivers the tools an SMB needs to market and grow their business. The solution offers improved online presence, a suite of marketing tools, search, social, display and connected TV advertising. In the future, additional centers will be launching enabling SMBs to address additional problems.

“I am confident that in 2023, we will sustain durable SaaS revenue growth and will continue to generate strong EBITDA margins from a consolidated standpoint,” said Paul Rouse, Chief Financial Officer. “Given the strength of our product offering, size of our customer base and revenue diversification, market demand has remained strong.”

Non-GAAP Measures

Our results included in this press release include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Gross Profit, which are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the supplemental information presented in the tables below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income and Adjusted Gross Profit to Gross profit. Both Net income and Gross profit are the most comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We believe that these measures provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. However, it is important to note that the particular items we exclude from, or include in, our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry.

The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, Net income:

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein are not historical facts, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Statements that include the words “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “forecast”, “estimate”, “expect”, “preliminary”, “intend”, “plan”, “target”, “project”, “outlook”, “future”, “forward”, “guidance” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the risks related to the following: risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity to fund operations; the Company’s future operating and financial performance; the Company’s ability to consummate acquisitions, or, if consummated, to successfully integrate acquired businesses into the Company’s operations, the Company’s ability to recognize the benefits of acquisitions, or the failure of an acquired company to achieve its plans and objectives; limitations on our operating and strategic flexibility and the ability to operate our business, finance our capital needs or expand business strategies under the terms of our credit facilities; our ability to retain existing business and obtain and retain new business; general economic or business conditions affecting the markets we serve; declining use of print yellow page directories by consumers; our ability to collect trade receivables from clients to whom we extend credit; credit risk associated with our reliance on small and medium sized businesses as clients; our ability to attract and retain key managers; increased competition in our markets; our ability to obtain future financing due to changes in the lending markets or our financial position; our ability to maintain agreements with major Internet search and local media companies; reduced advertising spending and increased contract cancellations by our clients, which causes reduced revenue; and our ability to anticipate or respond effectively to changes in technology and consumer preferences as well as the risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on From 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements.

If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. For these reasons, we caution you against relying on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof and, other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
