Strategic Priorities Update

Grow New and Existing Client Relationships. In the first quarter, Marchex added more than 8 new clients, including enterprise brands in verticals such as Auto, Senior Living, and Home Services.

 

Accelerate Product Innovation.  Marchex Recently Launched Marchex Stream, its new platform that analyzes consumer-to-business conversational data, gains insights in real time and at meaningful scale, extracts signals of consumer intent and supports predictive analytics and the development of artificial intelligence-driven, use-case specific applications. With Marchex Stream, a customer’s journey can now be captured across its many touchpoints, including inbound and outbound phone calls, SMS, messaging and chat, in a single, unified platform and processed within seconds. Marchex Stream enables businesses to realize the full potential and value of conversational artificial intelligence and is introducing a new set of industry-leading capabilities, including: massive cloud-based conversational data storage and analytics scalability, new streaming capabilities enable processing events and extracting signals from conversations as they occur, a new rich API for developers and a multi-layered, cloud-based advanced security processes and techniques to provide the protection required to support enterprise level needs.

 


Marchex recently launched Marchex Sales Rescue, a new AI-infused call monitoring, scoring and engagement solution. Marchex Sales Rescue combines Marchex artificial intelligence and machine learning with call monitoring and scoring services to alert businesses when potential buyers hang up without making a purchase, or when certain calls did not meet the business’ customer service standards. This solution identifies in real-time when potential high-value customer prospects engaged in conversations with sales representatives are mishandled in any number of ways, and then gives businesses the opportunity to re-engage immediately to capture these potentially lost opportunities, as well as avoid undesired customer experiences. Marchex’s ability to deliver the Sales Rescue solution has been accelerated by its Callcap subsidiary, which it acquired in November 2018.

“Marchex is making important progress setting the foundation for leadership in conversational analytics and sales acceleration solutions,” said Mike Arends, Chief Financial Officer. “From launching innovative new products that solve critical pain points for our customers, to supporting our many world-class customers as they roll out strategic initiatives with Marchex solutions at the center, 2019 will be a significant step in setting the stage for Marchex to capture meaningful opportunities in this emerging market.

 

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect Marchex's expectations as of May 2, 2019.

For the second quarter, the Company anticipates $12.8 million or more in Marchex’s core analytics revenue, representing a more than 50% increase year-over-year.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this press release regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, other financial guidance, acquisitions, dispositions, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. There are a number of important factors that could cause Marchex's actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements including but not limited to product demand, order cancellations and delays, competition and general economic conditions. 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 May 2, 2019 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 Adjusted OIBA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted non-GAAP income (loss) per share.

 

Adjusted OIBA represents income (loss) from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, and acquisition related costs. This measure, among other things, is one of the primary metrics 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 such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, and acquisition related costs. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense and acquisition related costs. 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 Adjusted 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 related costs, (3) interest and other income (expense), and (4) amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions. 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.
