Pro Forma Combined Marchex and Archenia 2026 Financial Highlights

Because the acquisition closed on July 1, 2026, Marchex’s reported second-quarter results do not include Archenia. The following supplemental unaudited pro forma results present the companies on a combined basis for the periods shown.

For the first quarter of 2026, pro forma combined Revenue was $14.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $0.1 million, which includes $0.7 million of reorganization and acquisition-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA before those costs was $0.6 million.
For the second quarter of 2026, pro forma combined Revenue was $15.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $1.0 million, including $1.0 million of reorganization and acquisition-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA before those costs was $2.0 million.

"The acquisition of Archenia advances our strategy of extending Marchex’s conversational intelligence capabilities from insights to actions and measurable outcomes," said Russell Horowitz, Chairman of Marchex. "By combining our first-party conversational data and analytics with Archenia’s customer-qualification and acquisition technology, we can deliver greater value to customers while expanding our revenue opportunities. While we operate in a rapidly evolving and dynamic industry with uncertainties and various risks, we believe that the combined company can achieve greater revenue scale and growth, higher margins, expanded market reach, and enhanced strategic flexibility. Early customer adoption is encouraging and based on this, we plan to make selective investments in incremental sales and product development to support our 2027 growth opportunities."

Customer, Product, and New Growth Opportunities Updates

Marchex and Archenia have been jointly developing and selling new solutions combining the capabilities of the companies. These offerings leverage Marchex’s data and AI signals with Archenia’s AI tool sets and user interface, including AI-verified outcomes, which drive increased revenue on a Pay-Per-Event basis, and Conversational AI Agents, which help increase customer bookings and appointment rates. Marchex believes its ability to sell these and other combined solutions, which reflect the bundling of insights, actions and outcomes, to its installed customer base will be a meaningful sales catalyst in 2026 and beyond. In May 2026, Marchex shared that its top 100 customers represent approximately 90% of its revenue, and this customer base has been the initial focus for presenting the products which leverage the combined capabilities of the companies. At that time, Marchex had made presentations to nearly one third of these customers, approximately half of whom have already purchased one or more of these products on a recurring or paid pilot basis. Of those remaining, Marchex stated that it believes that over time, the majority are also likely to purchase one or more of these products on a recurring or paid pilot basis. Since this time, the company has continued to see further progress and validation with these efforts.

Examples of recent, successful sales of combined products to existing customers include:

(1) An existing home services client, representing approximately $500,000 in annualized analytics revenue, adopted Archenia’s AI-verified outcomes, increasing total annualized revenue from the customer to more than $1 million.

(2) An existing auto services customer, representing more than $300,000 in annualized analytics revenue, adopted a paid pilot program to improve sales agent behaviors at 40 retail locations, since expanding to more than 60 locations. This customer operates thousands of retail locations and if the pilot is converted into broader adoption, Marchex believes the customer can represent $1 million or more in annualized revenue.

(3) An existing advertising/media customer, representing approximately $400,000 in annualized analytics revenue, launched a paid pilot program using the Marchex’s Conversational AI Agent to improve call handling. If the pilot is converted, Marchex believes the program could contribute incremental revenue in 2026 as well as increase annualized revenue from this customer by 50% or more in 2027.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included above contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included herein regarding Archenia’s estimated financial results and benefits of the combination, and the Company’s 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. The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in its forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in such statements due to a number of important factors, including but not limited to product demand, order cancellations and delays, competition, changes in business strategy or development plans, and general economic and business conditions. These factors are described in greater detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company’s most recent periodic report or registration statement filed with the SEC. All of the information provided herein is as of August 12, 2026 and the Company 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 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.
