Marchex Announces First Quarter Results

SEATTLE – May 7, 2024 – Marchex, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHX), which harnesses the power of AI and conversational intelligence to drive operational excellence and revenue acceleration, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Q1 2024 Financial Highlights

GAAP revenue was $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2023.
Net loss was $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2024 or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.5 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted non-GAAP loss per share for the first quarter of 2024 was ($0.02) compared to ($0.08) for the first quarter of 2023.

 

Recent Business Highlights:

New Customer Traction and Existing Customer Expansion. Marchex recently entered into a new relationship with one of the US Auto industry's largest Auto OEM channel partners, which it believes will contribute to incremental revenue growth as the year unfolds. The company also signed a large Home Services customer to an expanded multi-year agreement. The company continues to make progress expanding its pipeline of opportunities across multiple verticals.
Conversation Volumes. Overall conversation volumes in the first quarter were down modestly from 2023 fourth quarter levels as some customers faced pressure due to overall consumer-related macroeconomic factors and company specific items.
Product Innovation. Marchex recently announced that it has launched its Sentiment Suite offering across multiple application programming interfaces (APIs) following completion of an extensive early adopter program with Fortune 500 companies and other organizations. A key enhancement of Marchex’s conversation intelligence platform, Sentiment Suite combines structured and unstructured data to provide a comprehensive view and categorization of customer emotions during conversations with businesses.

 

“In the first quarter and so far into the second quarter, we have continued to make substantial progress with the key initiatives that will drive our business for the balance of 2024 and into the future, including our infrastructure, innovation and go-to-market initiatives,” said Edwin Miller, CEO. “We are seeing our sales pipeline gain momentum as everything we are doing is building toward our future as a prescriptive analytics company that leverages our industry leading vertical market data. We are highly focused on accelerating our business and enhancing Marchex’s overall growth and profitability, and we believe our current progress is moving solidly in this direction.”

 

 

 


 

Business Outlook

 

The following forward-looking statements reflect Marchex's expectations as of ​May 7, 2024​.

 

For the second quarter ending June 30, 2024:

Revenue is anticipated to increase to approximately $12 million or more.
Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to improve and be better than first quarter 2024 results.

“Despite the noted lower volumes in certain areas to start the year, we believe that those factors should be more than offset by our new sales wins, such as the recently added and expanded customer relationships, as well previously won opportunities ramping over the course of the year. In addition, we have seen strong initial interest in our AI product pilots and are working to convert those to full programs. The combination of these factors reinforce our belief that we can and will grow sequential revenue as we move forward in 2024, as well as see ongoing bottom line progress. Furthermore, as our OneStack initiatives continue to advance, combined with other technology cost-saving initiatives, we believe we are well positioned to enable greater overall operating leverage in the business. Additionally, as our growth initiatives gain further traction, we believe we are in a strong position to see ongoing improvements in profitability measures into the future,” said Miller.

 

Management will hold a conference call, starting at 5:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 7, 2024​, to discuss its ​first quarter 2024,​ 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.

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 7, 2024,​ 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. Financial analysts and investors may use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBA to help with comparative financial evaluation to make informed investment decisions. 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.

 

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, and (6) acquisition and disposition-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA is an alternative measure used by our management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, and management believes it provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the company's liquidity and ability to fund its operations and financing obligations.

 

Adjusted OIBA represents Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for depreciation and amortization. This measure, among other things, is another metric by which Marchex has evaluated the performance of its business, to include being the basis on which Marchex's internal budgets have been based and by which Marchex's management has been evaluated. This measure represents Marchex's consolidated operating results, taking into account depreciation and other intangible amortization, but excluding the effects of certain other expenses removed in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed above.

 


 

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, and (4) interest income and other, net.

 

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.
