– Fourth Quarter Total SaaS Revenue Grows 36% Year-Over-Year

– Full Year 2021 Total SaaS Revenue Grows 32% Year-Over-Year

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Thryv Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:THRY) (“Thryv” or the “Company”), the end-to-end client experience platform for growing small businesses, announced audited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021. The Company has also provided guidance for first quarter and full year 2022.

“We are pleased to report a strong finish to 2021, with Q4 representing our largest SaaS revenue quarter on record,” said Joe Walsh, Chairman and CEO. “We beat all of our 2021 guidance targets. These outstanding results confirm that Thryv has become the leader in moving small to medium-sized businesses to cloud software to enable them to modernize and run their businesses.”

The Company also announced that it has acquired Vivial Media Holdings, Inc. (“Vivial”), a regional provider of small business digital and print marketing services, for $21 million. On a post synergy basis, the purchase price of Vivial corresponds to an enterprise value / adjusted EBITDA multiple of approximately 2x, consistent with Thryv’s disciplined acquisition strategy and prior marketing services acquisitions.

“Vivial has a strong presence in key US markets including Hawaii, Alaska, Cincinnati, Ohio, Rochester, New York, and Lincoln, Nebraska,” said Walsh. “These fit synergistically into Thryv’s national platform. We are confident that many of Vivial’s 25,000 digital customers will adopt Thryv’s CRM software.”

“With the highly-profitable Marketing Services business providing low-cost leads into the SaaS business, the Company will continue to generate strong EBITDA margins from a consolidated standpoint," said Paul Rouse, Chief Financial Officer. "We have a strong track record of optimizing profits and we believe this trajectory will continue throughout 2022.”

“Finally, we look forward to sharing more of the long-term vision at our upcoming in-person investor and analyst day in New York City on April 5th,” concluded Walsh.

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 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:

Statements that include the words “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “forecast”, “estimate”, “expect”, “preliminary”, “intend”, “plan”, “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. 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 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.
