“We delivered a solid third quarter, driven by strong momentum and customer adoption of our new AI-powered Thryv Growth Platform™,” said Joe Walsh, CEO of Thryv. “As a result of the upcoming sale of our print directories business and our ongoing strategic restructuring, Thryv is now positioned to operate as a pure-play SaaS company. Looking ahead, we remain focused on execution, optimizing our cost structure, reducing outstanding debt and other liabilities, and further strengthening our balance sheet and financial profile.”

Print Divestiture

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company made the strategic decision to exit its Marketing Services business by the end of 2028 as part of its plan to fully transition into a SaaS-driven business model. In connection with this strategy, on September 12, 2026, Thryv, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Coldwater YP, LLC (the “Purchaser”), an affiliate of Carolwood, L.P., pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell the assets of its print Yellow Pages and print White Pages directories in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, the digital editions of those print directories, and Australia White Pages online (collectively, the “Print Business”) for a cash purchase price of $142.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the “Print Transaction”). The Print Transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to certain closing conditions.

As the Print Transaction represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, the Print Business' financial position and results of operations are presented as discontinued operations herein and comparable prior periods have been recast to reflect this change. Unless otherwise noted, all activities and amounts reported in this earnings release relate to the Company's continuing operations and exclude activities and amounts related to the Print Business. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, of our Q3 2026 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Qfor additional information regarding discontinued operations.

Q3 2026 SaaS Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Updated for Impact of Discontinued Operations

Subsequent to us issuing SaaS Adjusted EBITDA guidance for third quarter of 2026 on August 4, 2026, we entered into the Purchase Agreement for the sale of the Print Business. At the time we issued the Q3 2026 SaaS Adjusted EBITDA guidance, we prepared the guidance using the historical cost allocation approach, which allocates shared costs of the SaaS segment and the Marketing Services segment based on each segment’s percentage of revenue. Because the vast majority of the Marketing Services segment’s Q3 2026 revenue is now reported as discontinued operations, approximately 94% of these shared costs from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2026 are now allocated to the SaaS segment, thereby reducing the SaaS segment’s reported Q3 2026 Adjusted EBITDA.

To allow comparability between the Q3 2026 SaaS Adjusted EBITDA guidance issued on August 4, 2026 and the reported Q3 2026 SaaS Adjusted EBITDA that includes the impact of classifying the Print Business as discontinued operations, the following reconciliation shows what Thryv’s SaaS segment third quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance would have been had the Print Business been reported as discontinued operations at the time the guidance was issued:

Outlook

Based on information available as of November 9, 2026, Thryv is issuing guidance¹⁰, on a continuing operations basis, for the fourth quarter of 2026 and updating full year 2026 as indicated below:

Non-GAAP Measures

Our results included in this press release include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow, 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, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow 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, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as measuring the Company’s performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow provide investors with the financial measures that closely align with our internal processes.

We define Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as Loss from continuing operations plus Interest expense, Income tax expense (benefit), Depreciation and amortization expense, Restructuring and integration expenses, Stock-based compensation expense, and non-operating expenses, such as Net periodic pension cost, impairment charges, and certain unusual and non-recurring charges that might have been incurred. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to Loss from continuing operations 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. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less additions to fixed assets and capitalized software.

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, Loss from continuing operations:

Supplemental Financial Information

The following supplemental financial information provides Revenue, Net Loss, Net 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.
