THE FOLLOWING FORWARD-LOOKING LOOKING STATEMENTS REFLECT MARCHEX’S EXPECTATIONS AS OF MARCH 25, 2026
Revenue in the first quarter of 2026 reflects the migration revenue dilution from the final platform switch over in December 2025, which impacted revenue run rates entering 2026. With this noted, in the first quarter of 2026 Marchex currently anticipates that revenue will be in the range of fourth quarter 2025 levels, and that Adjusted EBITDA will be $500,000 or more.
With the previously announced proposed acquisition of Archenia, Inc., Marchex and Archenia have created a collaboration framework and have been jointly developing and selling initial products that reflect the combined capabilities of the two companies. Product examples of this collaboration, which leverage Marchex’s data and AI signals and Archenia’s AI tool sets and user interface, are AI-verified outcomes, which drive increased revenue on a Pay-Per-Event basis, and Conversational AI Agents, which increase customer bookings and appointment rate. While these efforts are early, Marchex has had initial positive indications of adoption of the combined solutions from existing customers in the Home Services and Auto Services verticals. 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 revenue growth catalyst in 2026 and beyond.
Based on these and other positive factors, Marchex currently anticipates that for the second quarter of 2026 revenue will sequentially increase as compared to the first quarter of 2026, with Adjusted EBITDA potentially increasing to more than $1 million.
Over the course of the past year, Marchex has significantly expanded its product platform capabilities for customers and prospects. During this time, Marchex has launched its new unified user interface across Marchex’s product suite, new vertical AI capabilities, and various other new products and features.
With these ongoing launches on the new technology platform, Marchex currently anticipates that it can see sequential quarterly revenue increases during 2026 and that over the course of the year it can see revenue growth on a run rate basis in the 10% range from 2025 year end levels. The company also currently anticipates that in the course of 2026, the combination of anticipated increasing revenue growth combined with lower overall operating expenses can lead to Adjusted EBITDA margins of 10% or more.
Marchex views itself as a meaningful AI beneficiary based on how rapidly it is now able to leverage AI to develop and deploy new products into its customer base that can deliver high customer value and high company revenue opportunities. Additionally, AI is making the business more agile and efficient to operate. The combination of these factors, including the company’s vast amount of first party data and vertical expertise, are key elements in the company’s outlook for meaningful business acceleration into the second half of the year assuming the closing of the proposed Archenia transaction and the differential and unique attributes of the combined company.
