Thryv Holdings Inc's operating return on assets (operating ROA) has shown fluctuations over the past several quarters. The company's operating ROA ranged between 10.04% to 18.51% from March 31, 2021, to December 31, 2022. During this period, the operating ROA remained relatively stable above 10%, indicating efficient use of its assets to generate operating income.

However, from March 31, 2023, to December 31, 2024, there was a noticeable decline in the operating ROA, with figures dropping into negative territory. The most significant decline was observed in the fourth quarter of 2024, with the operating ROA plummeting to -39.01%. This suggests a deterioration in the company's ability to generate operating income relative to its asset base during this period.

Overall, Thryv Holdings Inc's operating ROA performance indicates a mix of strong performance followed by a significant decline. It is essential for the company to address the factors contributing to the negative trend to improve its operational efficiency and profitability in the future.
