Marchex Reports Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results

SEATTLE - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Marchex, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHX) today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Second Quarter 2011 Consolidated Financial Results:

• Revenue was $38.8 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $21.4 million for the same period of 2010.
• GAAP net income applicable to common stockholders was $80,000 for the second quarter of 2011 or $0.00 per diluted share. This compares to GAAP net loss applicable to common stockholders of $3.2 million or $0.10 per diluted share for the same period of 2010. The second quarter 2011 results included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $3.9 million, compared to non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $2.6 million for the same period in 2010.
• As discussed in the summary of the second quarter 2011 consolidated financial results, a reconciliation is provided of GAAP diluted EPS to Adjusted Non-GAAP EPS in the financial tables attached to this press release and we encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures. Adjusted non-GAAP EPS for second quarter 2011 was $0.08, compared to a loss of $0.04 for the same period in 2010.
• Adjusted operating income (loss) before amortization was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to ($1.8) million for the same period of 2010. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted operating income before amortization to GAAP operating income is included in the financial tables attached to this release.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to ($0.5) million for the same period of 2010. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net cash provided by operating activities is included in the financial tables attached to this release.

"Our performance in the second quarter represents an initial point of validation for Marchex and for all the hard work our people have poured into our company. It also highlights that the bet we made several years ago to be a leader in Digital Call Advertising is beginning to pay off," said Russell C. Horowitz, Marchex Chairman and CEO. "While we are pleased with our progress, we also recognize that the digital call advertising industry is in its early stages, and we will need to stay focused on continued execution in driving live connections, new customers and more sales for our call advertisers."

General Highlights:

1. On April 7, Marchex acquired Jingle Networks, one of the leading providers of mobile voice search performance advertising and technology solutions in North America. With the addition of Jingle Networks, the Marchex Digital Call Marketplace has an annualized reach of hundreds of millions of phone calls across digital media, including mobile. The Marchex Digital Call Marketplace now includes exclusive and preferred relationships with more than one hundred call media sources including: four of the top five U.S. mobile carriers, the leading global VoIP provider (Skype), mobile network operators, and mobile application and directory providers.

2. Publishing: For the second quarter of 2011, revenue from Publishing, which is Marchex's proprietary local and category websites that fulfill advertiser campaigns, was $5.4 million.

3. During the second quarter of 2011, Marchex sold a small number of non-strategic domains that yielded $2.7 million.

4. Marchex also purchased 379,000 shares of its outstanding Class B common stock for a total price of $2.8 million, bringing its total shares repurchased under its stock repurchase program to 10.4 million shares, or 28% of its outstanding common stock.

Marchex Guidance:

The following forward-looking statements reflect Marchex's expectations as of August 4, 2011.

Financial guidance for fiscal year ending December 31, 2011:
Revenue:		$147 million to $149 million
Adjusted Operating Income Before Amortization:		More than $18.5 million
Adjusted EBITDA:		Estimated add-backs of approximately $4.5 million in additional depreciation and amortization to adjusted operating income before amortization, implying an adjusted EBITDA of more than $23 million.
Long Term Adjusted EBITDA Margin Target:		20% or more

2011 GAAP income (loss) from operations is expected to be ($1.4) million or better, assuming stock-based compensation between $15.0 million and $16.5 million and amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions between $5.5 million and $6.5 million. This estimate excludes any prospective gain or loss on sales and disposals of intangible assets.

Financial guidance for the third quarter of 2011:
Revenue:		$39 million - $40 million
Adjusted Operating Income Before Amortization:		$5.1 million or more
Adjusted EBITDA:		Estimated add-backs of approximately $1.0 million in additional depreciation and amortization to adjusted operating income before amortization, implying an adjusted EBITDA of $6.1 million or more.

Third quarter GAAP income (loss) from operations is expected to be ($1.9) million or better, assuming stock-based compensation between $3.7 million and $4.5 million and amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions between $1.7 million and $2.5 million. This estimate excludes any gain or loss on sales and disposals of intangible assets.

"For the third quarter of 2011, even with our focus on investing our current revenue growth back into hiring and market leadership opportunities, we expect adjusted operating income before amortization and EBITDA to be sequentially higher than in the second quarter," said Michael Arends, Marchex Chief Financial Officer.

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 EPS.

OIBA represents income (loss) from operations plus (1) stock-based compensation expense and (2) amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions. 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 any gain/loss on sales and disposals of intangible assets for each asset and acquisition related costs 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 or gain/loss such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, acquisition related costs and gain/loss on sales and disposals of intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense, acquisition related costs and gain/loss on sales and disposals of intangible assets. Marchex believes that Adjusted EBITDA is another alternative measure of liquidity to GAAP net cash provided by 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.

Adjusted non-GAAP EPS represents Adjusted non-GAAP Net Income (loss) applicable to common stockholders divided by GAAP diluted shares outstanding. Prior to 2011, Marchex computed shares outstanding for the Non-GAAP EPS calculation to include dilution from options and warrants, exercise prices per the treasury stock method provided market conditions had been met and included the weighted average number of all potential common shares relating to restricted stock and restricted stock units, provided market conditions had been met. Non-GAAP shares historically were greater than shares outstanding for GAAP EPS purposes. Adjusted non-GAAP Net Income applicable to common stockholders 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) amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, (3) gain/loss on sales and disposals of intangible assets, (4) acquisition related costs, (5) interest and other income (expense), and (6) dividends paid to participating securities. Financial analysts and investors may use Adjusted non-GAAP EPS 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.

The impact of restricted stock units and options subject to market conditions have or will be included once the market conditions have been met.
