• Net Income Turnaround

  The company achieved net income of $0.3 million for the full year 2025, a significant improvement from net losses of $(74.2) million in 2024 and $(259.3) million in 2023. This follows a previous 8-K filing on February 26, 2026, which reported this turnaround.

• SaaS Revenue Growth Contrasts with Client Decline

  SaaS revenue increased by 34.2% to $461.0 million in 2025, primarily due to the Keap acquisition and client expansion. However, the total number of SaaS clients decreased by 12% (14,000 clients) in 2025, and Seasoned Net Revenue Retention (NRR) for SaaS declined by 4% to 94%.

• Marketing Services Wind-Down Continues

  Marketing Services revenue decreased by 32.6% to $324.0 million in 2025, aligning with the company's strategic decision to fully exit this legacy segment by the end of 2028.

• Potential Goodwill Impairment for SaaS Segment

  Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the company's market capitalization declined below its book value, leading to an evaluation for an interim goodwill impairment assessment for the SaaS reporting unit in the first quarter of 2026.

This annual report provides a comprehensive view of Thryv's financial performance, highlighting a significant turnaround to net income for 2025. While SaaS revenue shows strong growth, the underlying decline in SaaS client numbers and a drop in Seasoned Net Revenue Retention (NRR) raise concerns about the sustainability of growth in its core strategic segment. The disclosure of a potential goodwill impairment for the SaaS unit, following a decline in market capitalization below book value, is a material negative signal. Investors should closely monitor future SaaS client acquisition and retention trends, as well as the outcome of the goodwill impairment assessment and the ongoing SEC investigation.
