*Adjusted EBITDA includes approximately $300,000 of reorganization costs. Excluding these amounts would result in Adjusted EBITDA totaling $670,000 dollars.

  • Adjusted non-GAAP loss per share for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.01 compared to $0.01 for the third quarter of 2022.

Recent Progress Summary:

  • New Customer Traction and Existing Customer Expansion. Marchex saw traction with new enterprise customers across multiple product lines in several verticals, including Home Services, Auto, and Healthcare.
  • Conversation Volumes. Overall conversation volumes in the third quarter of 2023 showed modest improvement when compared to the second quarter of 2023. On a year-over-year basis volumes were down slightly, due in part to some customers being impacted by underlying churn and pressure from other overall macroeconomic factors.
  • Company Hires CFO. The company announced that Holly Aglio has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer. Aglio is a seasoned financial leader, having served in multiple influential financial management roles during her career, and will lead Marchex’s finance and accounting organizations.
  • Accelerate Product Innovation.
    • Marchex Launches Generative AI-powered Call Summary and Sentiment Suite Capabilities. The company announced the first of its Generative AI-powered technology capabilities in its rapidly expanding award-winning conversational intelligence platform. Powered by generative AI, these new features analyze and generate summaries of consumer-to-business calls, enabling businesses to immediately identify customers who have had exceptionally good experiences, as well as dissatisfied ones. This valuable data empowers companies to capitalize on positive interactions by advancing sales processes or encouraging positive online behaviors, as well as take action to rectify concerns from dissatisfied customers.

“In the third quarter and today, Marchex is making significant progress with a number of initiatives that will help ensure long-term leadership in the conversational intelligence market,” said Edwin Miller, CEO. “We are moving to optimize our technology capabilities to accelerate our ability to innovate and harness the power of our significant conversational data to deliver new AI-driven products and features for customers and prospects. These initiatives will be the foundation of our long-term growth and profitability. We are highly focused on our most tangible opportunities, which we believe have the potential to grow into a nine-figure business in the future. At the same time, our focus has enabled us to achieve profitability on an adjusted EBITDA basis earlier than expected this year. This also sets the stage for more operating leverage as we grow revenue. I am proud of the team and the significant effort we are making to take advantage of our robust market opportunity.”

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect Marchex's expectations as of ​November 8, 2023​.

For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023:

  • Revenue is anticipated to be at or near third quarter 2023 levels.
  • The company anticipates the auto vertical to deliver double-digit growth on an annualized run rate year-over-year basis by the end of the fourth quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be above break-even.

For the fiscal year 2024:

  • The company anticipates revenue growth on a year-over-year basis along with sequential progress.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be above break-even throughout the year.

“Despite what is traditionally a seasonally slower quarter for many customers, in the fourth quarter we anticipate the business will continue to make progress, grow year-over-year and remain profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis as we exit 2023. We look forward to seeing what our current efforts can achieve as we move into next year and deliver on key initiatives including our robust product roadmap and vertical sales opportunities,” said Miller.

Management will hold a conference call, starting at 5:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 8, 2023​, to discuss its ​third quarter ​September 30, 2023,​ financial results and other company updates. Access to the live webcast of the conference call will be available online from the Investors section of Marchex’s website at www.marchex.com. An archived version of the webcast will also be available at the same location two hours after completion of the call.

Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make.

These factors are described in greater detail in the "Risk Factors" section of our most recent periodic report and registration statement filed with the SEC. All of the information provided in this release is as of ​November 8, 2023,​ and Marchex undertakes no duty to update the information provided herein.

Marchex is not responsible for the content of linked third-party sites or materials and does not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy thereof.

Non-GAAP Financial Information:

To supplement Marchex's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide clarity internally and externally, Marchex uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance and liquidity, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted OIBA, and Adjusted non-GAAP income (loss) per share.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before (1) interest, (2) income taxes, (3) amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation expense, (6) acquisition and disposition-related costs (benefit), and (7) foreign government assistance subsidies. Marchex believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an alternative measure used by our management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, and that provides meaningful supplemental information regarding performance and evaluating performance and liquidity to measure its ability to fund operations and its financing obligations.

Adjusted OIBA represents Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for depreciation and amortization. This measure, among other things, is another metric by which Marchex evaluates the performance of its business. Adjusted OIBA is the basis on which Marchex's internal budgets are based and by which Marchex's management is currently evaluated. Marchex believes these measures are useful to investors because they represent Marchex's consolidated operating results, taking into account depreciation and other intangible amortization, which Marchex believes is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of certain other expenses as detailed above. Financial analysts and investors may use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBA to help with comparative financial evaluation to make informed investment decisions.

Adjusted non-GAAP income (loss) per share represents Adjusted non-GAAP income (loss) divided by GAAP diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted non-GAAP income (loss) generally captures those items on the statement of operations that have been, or ultimately will be, settled in cash exclusive of certain items that are not indicative of Marchex’s recurring core operating results and represents net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders plus the net of tax effects of: (1) stock-based compensation expense, (2) acquisition and disposition related costs (benefit), (3) amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, (4) interest income and other, net, and (5) foreign government assistance subsidies. Financial analysts and investors may use Adjusted non-GAAP income (loss) per share to analyze Marchex's financial performance since these groups have historically used EPS related measures, along with other measures, to estimate the value of a company, to make informed investment decisions, and to evaluate a company's operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry.

Marchex's management believes that investors should have access to, and Marchex is obligated to provide, the same set of tools that management uses in analyzing the company's results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Marchex’s non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently from time to time and may be defined differently than similar titled terms used by other companies, and accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how Marchex defines its non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Marchex endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measures presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence, GAAP financial statements, and detailed descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure.
