Marchex Announces Third Quarter 2017 Results

SEATTLE – November 2, 2017-- Marchex, Inc. (NASDAQ:MCHX), a leading provider of call analytics that drive, measure, and convert callers into customers, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Strategic Priorities Update

Grow New and Existing Enterprise Client Relationships.  Positive progress in the development of its sales pipeline. Marchex has added more than 30 new clients year to date and launched more than 5 new trials over that same timeframe across many of its new products. Marchex is beginning to more deeply penetrate its core verticals, such as Auto and Travel.

 

Accelerate Product Innovation. In October 2017, Marchex announced new enhancements to its industry leading Marchex Speech Analytics solution, including updates to its Call DNA user interface, which now accepts user input on Artificial Intelligence predicted outcomes. The direct in-app feedback from customers will allow Marchex to continually improve the overall accuracy of its speech recognition technology. These enhancements improved the accuracy of word transcription by reducing the Word Error Rate by 15%. This increased accuracy of conversational speech recognition enables marketers and sales teams to gain deeper insights from inbound calls, which can be used to optimize media spend and sales operations.

Marchex Institute Study.  In October 2017, Marchex released an industry index report that benchmarks the call-handling performance of 16 major car brands. The study leveraged Marchex’s proprietary Speech Analytics solution to analyze millions of anonymized calls in the United States and found that more than 19% of calls go unanswered by the dealer or are abandoned by the customer. Poor handling of any phone call can result in lost or delayed opportunities that could otherwise have been appointments, sales, or positive customer experiences which could cost auto dealers potential sales opportunities.


 

“We continue to focus relentlessly on our customers, which is enabling us to develop new opportunities and open the door for long-term growth,” said Michael Arends, Chief Financial Officer. “Our early focus on expanding our product pipeline is translating to new pilots and customers. In addition, we posted our second consecutive quarter of positive operating cash generation.”  

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect Marchex's expectations as of November 2, 2017.

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 2, 2017 and Marchex undertakes no duty to update the information provided herein.


In the event the press release contains links to third party websites or materials, the links are provided solely as a convenience to you. 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 OIBA, Adjusted OIBA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted non-GAAP income (loss) per share. Marchex also provides Enterprise Revenue, which represents revenue excluding Yellowpages.com LLC (“YP”) revenue generating contracts and other Archeo related transition activities which were insignificant.

OIBA represents income (loss) from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense. This measure, among other things, is one of the primary metrics by which Marchex evaluates the performance of its business. Additionally, Marchex's management uses Adjusted OIBA, which excludes acquisition and disposition related costs and impairment of goodwill, as these items are not indicative of Marchex’s recurring core operating results. 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 such as stock-based compensation, acquisition and disposition related costs, and impairment of goodwill. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense, acquisition and disposition related costs, and impairment of goodwill. Marchex believes that Adjusted EBITDA is another alternative measure of liquidity to GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities that provides meaningful supplemental information regarding liquidity and is used by Marchex's management to measure its ability to fund operations and its financing obligations. Financial analysts and investors may use Adjusted OIBA and EBITDA and Enterprise Revenue 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,  (3) interest and other income (expense), and (4) impairment of goodwill. 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.
