Thryv Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: THRY), a leader in providing innovative marketing solutions and Software as a Service (SaaS) tools for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), has reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025. The company's commitment to supporting local businesses through state-of-the-art digital marketing solutions has shown promising results, despite challenges in traditional marketing services.
1. Overview of Q3 2025 Financial Performance
For the three months ending September 30, 2025, Thryv recorded a significant uptick in its financial performance, primarily driven by its SaaS segment. The total revenue for the quarter reached $201.5 million, an increase of $21.7 million or 12.1% compared to Q3 2024, which saw revenue of $179.8 million. This growth underscores the company's strategic shift towards SaaS solutions.
SaaS Segment Growth
The SaaS segment was a standout performer, generating $115.9 million in revenue for the quarter, a remarkable increase from $87.1 million in Q3 2024. For the nine-month period, SaaS revenue totaled $342.0 million, reflecting a robust growth trajectory from $239.2 million in the previous year. This segment's growth is attributed to the successful uptake of the Thryv Platform, which includes various innovative tools such as the Thryv Marketing Center and Thryv Workforce Center, both of which utilize AI-driven analytics to optimize marketing performance for SMB clients.
Marketing Services Segment Challenges
Conversely, the Marketing Services segment reported a decline in revenue, bringing in $85.7 million for Q3 2025, down from $92.8 million in the same quarter of 2024. The nine-month revenue for this segment fell significantly to $251.4 million from $398.4 million in 2024. The decrease can be attributed to a strategic decision to phase out certain Marketing Services solutions by the end of 2028, coupled with a broader industry decline in print media.
