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

meaningful opportunities in this emerging market.”

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.
