“Thryv started 2025 with strong positive momentum as SaaS revenue accelerated to over 60% of total revenue, underscoring the progress of our strategic transformation into a premier SMB software business,” said Joe Walsh, Thryv Chairman and CEO. “While we remain focused on acquiring and upgrading subscribers to the platform, we have been deepening relationships with our existing customers and expanding ARPU. We are leaning into cross-selling and anticipate continued growth as we enhance our product-led strategy and expand into new verticals. Looking ahead, the resilient customer demand we are experiencing is encouraging, and we are committed to driving sustainable, profitable growth as we continue to invest in our platform.”

“In the first quarter, we exceeded our guidance, and balanced SaaS top-line growth with disciplined cost management,” stated Paul Rouse, Chief Financial Officer. “Seasoned NRR increased to a record 103% in the first quarter as a result of upselling and cross-selling additional products and services to our customer base. For the remainder of 2025, we expect to deliver SaaS revenue growth and continued SaaS Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement.”

Segment Information

The following tables set forth reconciliations of our SaaS revenue for the Company to SaaS revenue excluding Keap and Keap SaaS revenue:

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”).

We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit because management believes they provide useful information to investors in gaining an overall understanding of our current financial performance and provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. Specifically, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors by excluding certain non-operating items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Gross Profit are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as measuring the Company’s performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Gross Profit provide investors with the financial measures that closely align with our internal processes.

We define Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as Net income (loss) plus Interest expense, Income tax expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, Restructuring and integration expenses, Stock-based compensation expense, and non-operating expenses, such as Other components of net periodic pension cost and certain unusual and non-recurring charges that might have been incurred. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) as a performance measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We define Adjusted Gross Profit (“Adjusted Gross Profit”) as Gross profit adjusted to exclude the impact of Depreciation and amortization expense and Stock-based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP financial information has limitations as an analytical tool and is presented for supplemental informational purposes only. Such information should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

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

The following tables set forth reconciliations of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin, to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, Gross profit and Gross margin:

Supplemental Financial Information

The following supplemental financial information provides Revenue, Net Income (Loss), Net Income (Loss) Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin by our (i) SaaS business and (ii) Marketing Services business. Total SaaS Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Total Marketing Services Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are also non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial 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.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our global SaaS and Marketing Services financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our global SaaS and Marketing Services past financial 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.
