– Company achieves 19% SaaS revenue growth – Q3 SaaS Adjusted EBITDA exceeds guidance range by over $3 million – Subscribers increased 29% – Delivers strong operating cash flow of $45.9 million
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Thryv Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:THRY) (“Thryv” or the “Company”), the provider of Thryv®, the leading small business software platform, reported SaaS revenue growth of 19% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2023.
“We are reporting a strong third quarter as we continue to focus on driving profitable SaaS growth in 2023,” said Joe Walsh, Thryv Chairman and CEO. “Our SaaS revenue and EBITDA surpassed expectations, reinforcing our commitment to cost effectively scaling our business. SaaS subscribers showed continued strength and we increased our clients through ongoing innovation, cross-selling opportunities and operational execution. We are continuing to evolve our Thryv platform to deliver solutions that solve problems small businesses face.”
In August, the Company announced the beta program for Thryv Command Center, an industry-first freemium offering that will be a core driver in its product-led growth initiative. Thryv Command Center enables SMBs to centralize all their communication through a modular, easily expandable, and customizable platform. The market’s reception has been strong as evidenced by the fast-growing number of users. Thryv Command Center continues the planned roll out of new centers to drive future growth and complements the Thryv Marketing Center and Thryv Business Center, as well as the company’s continued international expansion.
“We are pleased with our results this quarter and with our ability to raise our full-year guidance for SaaS revenue and EBITDA,” said Paul Rouse, Thryv Chief Financial Officer. "We achieved impressive free cash conversion, even with Adjusted EBITDA appearing lower due to the accounting treatment related to the extension of our printed directories. Moreover, our robust free cash flow enabled us to substantially reduce our debt by $42.5 million on our Term Loan. As we move forward, our primary focus remains on accelerating profitable growth in the SaaS business while upholding a strong and healthy balance sheet.”

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 (loss) income and Adjusted Gross Profit to Gross profit. Both Net (loss) 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.
