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 second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Q2 2025 Financial Highlights

GAAP revenue was $11.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $12.1 million for the second quarter of 2024.
Net income was $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million or $(0.02) per diluted share for the second quarter of 2024.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") was a gain of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to a gain of $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 includes $0.1 million of reorganization costs and excluding these amounts would result in an Adjusted EBITDA gain of $0.7 million.
Adjusted non-GAAP income per share for the second quarter of 2025 was $0.02, compared to a loss per share of ($0.01) for the second quarter of 2024.

Edwin Miller, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of Marchex, commented, "The second quarter represented continued progress toward making 2025 an inflection point for our company. Based on continued technical and product developments, the second quarter saw us accelerate our investment transition into go forward growth initiatives. Additionally, we improved quarterly Adjusted EBITDA, net of reorganization costs, by nearly $1 million over the first quarter of 2025."

Continued Miller, "Period to period there may be some financial variability based on timing with the new Engage platform migration completion (formerly ‘OneStack'), but our technology and platform progress is leading to increasing operating and cost efficiencies. Collectively, we believe these benefits will accrue to more growth opportunities, gross margin expansion and operating leverage, which also means we can look to increase investment in sales, marketing, and product innovations as we move into 2026."

THE FOLLOWING FORWARD-LOOKING LOOKING STATEMENTS REFLECT MARCHEX'S EXPECTATIONS AS OF AUGUST 12, 2025

Marchex currently anticipates that both Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA will sequentially increase in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2025, with Adjusted EBITDA potentially increasing by more than 50% over second quarter levels.

Marchex also currently anticipates that both Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA will be sequentially lower in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2025, due to the revenue impacts of certain customers not migrating, anticipated seasonality, and current macroeconomic factors, which it is anticipated will delay the achievement of Marchex's annual Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA run rate goals previously set for 2025.

Added Miller, "Throughout 2025, we have seen operating efficiency benefits begin to highlight the magnitude of our operating leverage, but we have also had to overcome migration revenue dilution, largely based on the timing and success of moving more than 1,000 customers to our new Engage platform throughout 2025, the vast majority of which has been completed. This does have short-term impacts on Revenue, including ancillary factors such as the timing of new sales launches or product utilization. Without these impacts, we would be seeing even higher sequential Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA progress. With that noted, the new Engage platform is a critical company accomplishment, representing a strategically key foundational element of our plan to support a market leading, vertically-focused conversational AI company with a growth path to more than $100 million in annualized revenue over time. With our belief that these primary migration initiatives will be completed by year end, we believe this bodes well for 2026, when sales will be in a position to accelerate on top of the substantial operating cost efficiencies achieved throughout 2025."

As noted in our first quarter earnings release (the "Q1 Release"), the current macroeconomic environment continues to bring increased uncertainty with customers and prospects. Furthermore, new federal tariffs on imports have begun to have an adverse impact on various industries and vertical markets in which the Company operates, including automotive and auto services. These conditions make predicting actual 2025 performance and timing more difficult. The Company will continue to execute on its 2025 strategic plan, which it believes will lead to more success with new sales to existing and new customers, but acknowledges these conditions raise increased uncertainty regarding customer impacts, and as a result its actual financial results may be more variable in terms of revenue and adjusted EBITDA as reflected above.

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 and adjusted non-GAAP income (loss) per share. Financial analysts and investors may use adjusted EBITDA 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 earnings per share 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 a 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 is used by our management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, and management believes it provides meaningful information regarding the Company's liquidity and ability to fund its operations and financing obligations.

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) amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, and (4) interest (income) expense 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.
