SaaS Revenue Grows 32%
Year-Over-Year
Thryv Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:THRY) (“Thryv” or the “Company”),
the provider of Thryv® software, the end-to-end client experience
platform for growing small businesses, announced financial results
for the second quarter 2021. The Company has also raised its 2021
outlook for its SaaS segment.
“During Q2, we saw strong and continued growth in our SaaS
business,” said Joe Walsh, CEO and president of Thryv. “Small
businesses are moving to the cloud and we are providing them the
tools they need to automate and modernize their businesses. As a
result of our efforts, we are seeing accelerated growth and we are
raising our SaaS revenue guidance for 2021.”
“We see clients putting their faith in us as they take that leap
to manage and grow their business using modern small business
software. Small businesses need an end-to-end solution, not several
different point solutions. Multiple solutions are expensive and are
difficult to manage. Thryv provides the frictionless and simplified
experience small businesses need.”

Non-GAAP Measures
Our results included in this press release include Adjusted
EBITDA 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.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
information about our financial performance, enhance the overall
understanding of our past performance and future prospects 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 an
additional tool 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.

directly comparable GAAP measure, Net income (in thousands):

statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of
future performance. Forward-looking statements provide current
expectations with respect to our financial performance and future
events with respect to our business and industry in general.
Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and
include any statement that does not directly relate to any
historical or current fact. 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. 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
