 PART 1

 ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 Overview

 References herein to "we" "us" or "our" refer to Marchex, Inc. ("Marchex" or the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries unless the context specifically states or implies otherwise.

 Marchex harnesses the power of artificial intelligence ("AI") and conversational intelligence to provide actionable insights aligned with prescriptive vertical market data analytics, driving operational excellence and revenue acceleration. Marchex enables executive, sales, and marketing teams to optimize customer journey experiences across communications channels. Through our prescriptive analytics solutions, we enable the alignment of enterprise strategy, empowering businesses to increase revenue through informed decision-making and strategic execution. Marchex provides conversational intelligence AI-powered solutions for market-leading companies in leading business-to-business-to-consumer ("B2B2C") vertical markets, including several of the world's most innovative and successful brands.

 Our mission is to create intelligence around all types of business conversations. We desire to be a leader in vertical market conversational intelligence leveraging generative AI and data analytics. We seek to empower performance improvements for our customers by giving them actionable, real-time insights into the conversations they are having with their customers across phone, text, and other communication channels. We have developed applications that incorporate AI functionality for enterprises that depend on phone calls, texts, and other communication channels to help convert prospects into customers, enabling marketing optimization and insights into customer experiences during the sales and support processes and helping maximize returns. Our proprietary data and conversational insights help brands personalize customer interactions to accelerate sales and capture more opportunities to grow their business. We serve large enterprises with a distributed footprint that interact with their customers across multiple communication paths.

 We operate primarily in U.S. domestic markets with a desire to move into other markets over time. Our leveraging of generative AI is an active approach and allows the understanding of interactions without a human needing to converse, type, or interpret. Our conversational intelligence product offerings are:

 • Marketing Edge. Marketing Edge leverages conversational intelligence with generative AI to form a comprehensive marketing attribution and conversation data solution. The platform identifies which campaigns and channels drive inbound conversations, evaluates what happens during those conversations, and closes the sales loop by connecting converted sales to marketing driven leads. Through optimization and advanced tracking, Marketing Edge enables customers to improve marketing, validate budgets, and drive revenue acceleration and operational excellence.

 • Sonar Business Text Messaging. Sonar Business Text Messaging is an AI-powered, intelligent, workflow-enabled mobile messaging solution that enables operations, sales, and marketing teams to communicate personally with field staff, prospects, and customers. Unlike basic text messaging, it provides a comprehensive and flexible two-way messaging solution that uses AI-powered automation to augment field-facing and customer-facing staff, driving dramatic and measurable increases in critical actions, customer engagement and conversions. The offering encompasses a unique workflow system that connects conversations to the client journey.

 • Marchex Platform Services. Marchex Platform Services is a robust application programming interface ("API") for conversation intelligence. It allows executives, sales, customer engagement, and marketing teams to apply Marchex AI to most any calls, regardless of communication platform, to identify actionable insights from conversations with their customers. This allows an active understanding of the conversations occurring. The platform enables a business to send phone call audio recordings directly from their existing communications platforms to Marchex, and in turn, receive actionable conversation insights such as call outcome, industry-specific deep call analysis, and speech-to-text transcripts, enabling data-driven decision-making, enhanced customer experiences, and improved sales outcomes. Marchex launched new features such as AI-generated Call Summaries and Sentiment Suite that are available via Marchex Platform Services. These new features analyze and generate summaries of consumer-to-business calls, enabling businesses to immediately identify customers who have had exceptionally good and dissatisfied experiences. They leverage the power of generative AI to help transform how businesses can capture and utilize critical insights from customer interactions and combine structured and unstructured data to provide a holistic view of customer emotions during conversations. The platform received the "AI Excellence Award" in the Generative AI category as part of the 2024 Business Intelligence Group ("BIG") AI Intelligence Awards program.

 • Spotlight. Spotlight is an innovative AI conversation analytics product specifically designed for multi-location businesses. Trusted by top brands and used by thousands of multi-location rooftops, the product provides critical insights and delivers actionable, data-driven observations that help enterprises improve performance across their national and regional sales organizations. With Spotlight, corporate and regional managers can easily identify and track top-performing locations and those that may be underperforming. With this information, managers can make informed decisions to improve call handling and improve outcomes, leading to increased revenue and brand loyalty. Spotlight was named "Product of the Year" in the 2023 BIG Awards for Business.

 • Engage. Engage is a comprehensive solution that provides locations with applications to enhance their overall performance. With a keen focus on call handling and outcomes, it helps improve customer satisfaction ratings, increase appointment set rates, and drive incremental sales. The solution integrates call data into the business's customer relationship management ("CRM") to capture all customer interactions in one place, providing valuable insights for optimization and real-time alerts when a sales conversation ends negatively, creating opportunities for training, accountability, and empowering revenue growth. Overall, Marchex sales engagement technology is recognized as an industry leader, winning the 2023 Conversation DNA - Automation Category from AI Excellence Awards. Engage was also named "Best AI-Based Solution for Sales" by AI Breakthrough in 2023.

 • Call Summary and Sentiment Suite. Call Summary and Sentiment Suite are capabilities powered by generative AI that analyze and generate summaries of consumer-to-business calls, enabling businesses to identify customers who have had exceptionally good experiences and dissatisfied customers. This valuable data empowers companies to capitalize on positive interactions by advancing sales processes or encouraging positive online behaviors, including reviews, and take action to rectify concerns from dissatisfied customers. These products are the first in a series of AI enhancements in Marchex's product pipeline designed to equip organizations with applications to proactively identify sales and growth opportunities, and address issues that may lead to negative experiences and reviews from dissatisfied customers. The products were collectively chosen as the "Best Text Generative AI Solution" at the 2024 annual AI Breakthrough Awards program. The Sentiment Suite product also won the "New Product of the Year" as part of the 2024 BIG Awards for Business.

 • AI for Industry Solution. Marchex's new AI for Industry solution offers a range of advanced capabilities designed to enhance business performance and customer engagement. The solution provides for automatic lead qualification, identifying high-value leads with industry-specific indicators to target the most valuable opportunities. Additionally, it offers improved attribution, allowing businesses to segment target audiences and improve automated bidding using attributes such as product/service, lead outcome, lead value, and topics. The solution enhances conversion performance by using high-quality metrics to understand the performance of conversion events through the sales funnel.

 Key Trends Driving our Industry and Business

 Understanding calls and/or texts is highly complex. Unlike clicks, impressions and other actions that are tracked and measured in digital format, calls and text messages require unique technical capabilities and expertise to accurately measure and analyze. To realize the full benefit of call and/or text-based marketing, customers need technology that allows them to capture and analyze attributes of a call and/or text before, during and after the call and/or text is completed. This technology can connect a conversation from a placed advertisement through the interaction with a business, often with individual sales representatives, to understand the effectiveness of the marketing action. This can help better measure return on investment ("ROI") and optimize marketing campaigns across media channels. For example, customers want to be able to dynamically track the source of a call back to the media channels and advertisements that influenced the consumer to make the call. Once a call is initiated, technology is required to understand what is happening on a call, to record anonymized calls, and to block unwanted or spam calls. For many of Marchex's customers calls are often tracked and routed through interactive voice response ("IVR") phone systems and integrated with CRM applications and back-office systems to measure transactions and ROI. Successful marketing analytics for calls and texts requires expertise from multiple disciplines, including digital advertising, communications infrastructure, voice and speech recognition expertise, and marketing software.

 Mobile phone growth has changed the way customers and businesses interact. The majority of the world's population now utilizes mobile phones and mobile phone usage is expected to continue to grow as the primary consumer communication device for the foreseeable future. According a study published by ConsumerAffairs, 97% of the population in the United States has a mobile phone. According to a eMarketer study, consumers are spending more time on their mobile connected devices than in front of televisions, a trend that is forecasted to grow. According to MarketingCharts, two of the top uses of mobile phones among consumers are texting/messaging and calling. We believe it is critical for many businesses to develop strategies to understand their consumer engagement across multiple communication channels as consumers seamlessly shift between different forms of communication during the buying process.

 For many businesses, calls and texts are critical to drive sales. For businesses of all sizes, in-bound phone calls can be a key source of new customer leads and increased revenue. We believe consumers that call or text businesses directly typically have higher purchase intent and can be more likely to make a purchase or become a customer. According to an independent research study by Forrester Consulting, the study found that phone customers convert faster, spend more, and have a higher retention rate than customers who contact brands through other channels. Based on a survey of marketing decision makers, the study found that that 60% of marketers said that those who initiate an inbound call in the course of the customer journey convert an average of 30% faster and spend an average of 28% more; 54% of marketers said that customers who initiate an inbound call have a 28% higher retention rate. In addition, according to MessageDesk, 77% of consumers prefer to talk to someone over other means of communication such as a chatbot. Calls and texts can be particularly relevant in high-value categories, such as automotive, home services, auto services, and healthcare where transaction values are large, complex or require additional information prior to completion. Calls and texts are also important for local businesses that set appointments or sell products and services over the phone.

 Market for conversational intelligence. As customers continue to shift their budgets to accommodate for the growth of mobile channels, we believe the market for conversational analytics will grow even more. In fact, the phone call has become the most popular engagement channel for a majority of U.S. customers, leapfrogging email over the past two years, according to Salesforce's State of the Connected Customer report, with 59% of consumers preferring to engage businesses over the phone. Calls and texts are two of the primary consumer communication methods with businesses on mobile devices and building solutions to help businesses understand their consumer interactions through these communication channels can help businesses engage and grow.

 Highly competitive market. The market for our service offerings is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and subject to changing technology and shifting customer needs. We compete with conversation analytics providers such as Twilio, EZ Texting, CallSource, CallRail, and Invoca. As we advance our data analytics technologies, the competitive landscape will increase and become broader.

 Seasonality. Historically, our industry has experienced seasonality and we believe that it will continue to do so. Our experience has shown that during the spring and summer months, call volumes in certain verticals such as home services are generally higher than during other times of the year. Further, during the latter part of the fourth quarter of the calendar year we generally experience lower call volumes.

 Our Strategy and Competitive Strengths

 OneStack. We anticipate achieving operating and cost efficiencies by migrating all primary software stacks, clouds and data centers into one environment, or OneStack, which we believe will further enhance our strategic competitiveness and help drive acceleration of our AI product initiatives and future innovation. OneStack enables our technologies, products and clients to be more easily managed in a unified operating environment and provides a streamlined go to market approach, allowing our vertical market clients to consume all our signals, data analytics and applied AI and also provides speed and scale for client onboarding while streamlining support and account management.

 Innovating on conversational intelligence technology and solutions. We desire to normalize all conversational channels and leverage generative AI for understanding with scale and speed. The ability to interpret most any conversation through any potential channel and provide action to insight in real time adds value to our clients for revenue acceleration. We plan to continue to expand and invest in our conversational intelligence technology and expand our AI, data science and machine learning capabilities. Marchex's large base of conversational data assets give it a unique advantage to continue to innovate with data science and AI to help our customers sell more and deliver a better customer experience across communication channels. We plan to continue to expand our use of Generative AI large language models to supplement our innovation and deliver new products as well as additional insights and features throughout our product portfolio and roadmap. We plan to continue to expand our range of call, text, and other communication channels analytics and sales engagement product capabilities by growing our conversational intelligence solutions, including AI-driven speech technology solutions, call tracking, call monitoring, text communications, keyword-level tracking, display ad impression measurement and other products as part of our owned, end-to-end, call and text-based solutions. Our expanding capabilities are enabling us to develop new solutions, such as sales engagement, personalization solutions and performance measurement that enable us to take advantage of our growing conversational data assets.

 Expanding our vertical markets and channel partners. We plan to continue investing in technology initiatives like Marchex Platform Services, which we believe will enable us to access a wide base of businesses by offering our products to a new array of channel partners across vertical markets. Through these initiatives Marchex can integrate with our customers' existing communication providers, telephone infrastructure providers, or customer relationship management software systems to offer our products and services. This opens a new opportunity to reach potential business that may desire access to Marchex vertical market insights while keeping their existing telephone infrastructure in place. Increasingly, Marchex customers will no longer need to access separate telephone infrastructure to engage with our conversational intelligence suite of products but, instead, will be able to choose to access our products from within their existing communications provider of choice.

 Pursuing selective acquisition opportunities. We have historically and in the future may pursue select acquisition opportunities and will apply evaluation criteria to any acquisitions we may pursue in order to enhance our strategic position, strengthen our financial profile, and increase shareholder value.

 Deep expertise in calls and texts. As consumer usage and mobile performance advertising has grown over the last decade, it is driving growth in customer interactions through calls and texts. As one of the first companies to help businesses utilize data driven insights and analytics to accelerate sales from phone conversations, we have developed solutions which can deliver measurable return on investment to both large national brands and local small businesses through connecting their offline phone conversations to their online marketing initiatives and offering sales acceleration solutions to help them create a better customer experience and grow sales. Working closely with our business clients, we have innovated in conversational intelligence technology, creating specific solutions to address common needs and wants among both large enterprises and small businesses.

 Transparent pricing model. Marchex generally charges based on the number of conversations, either by call or text, that occur between a business and its customers, which it processes on behalf of the business. This enables businesses to adopt Marchex products through a transparent model that scales as a customer's usage increases and may include a minimum commitment. As a result, we can provide a measurable return on investment for our customers.

 Scalable technology platform and business model. We have developed our technology platform to address large customers, while also being able to support a large number of small local businesses. Our platform can support hundreds of millions of calls and thousands of unique customer accounts.

 Sales, Marketing & Business Development

 Our go to market approach is leveraging the alignment around OneStack. Our sales team focuses on adding new customers to our business and growing existing customer relationships, while our business development and partnership activities focus on adding new customers, reseller partnerships and servicing existing partnerships. Our marketing team focuses on promoting our services through online customer acquisition, affiliate relationships, press coverage, strategic marketing campaigns and industry exposure. Advertising and promotion of our services is broken into the following main categories:

 • Direct Sales. Our direct sales team targets new relationships with national and global customers through in-person presentations, direct marketing, telesales and attendance at industry events, among other methods.

 • Technology Integration Partnerships and Referral Agreements. We have integration partnerships with Adobe, Google, Salesforce, Customer Relationship Management software providers, and other third-party channel partners. We also have referral agreements with entities that promote our services to large numbers of potential customers including select technology partners.

 • Reseller Partnerships. We have a business development team which seeks to develop partnerships with large reseller partners.

 We intend to continue our strategy of increasing our customer base through sales and marketing programs while being efficient in terms of our marketing and advertising costs. We continually evaluate our marketing and advertising strategies to optimize the effectiveness of our programs and their return on investment.

 Information Technology and Systems

 We have a proprietary technology platform for the purposes of managing and delivering conversational analytics and texting products and services to our partners. We also combine third-party licenses and hardware to create an operating environment for delivering high quality products and services, with such features as automated online account creation and management process for customers, real-time customer support, and interactive and online reporting for customers and partners. We also employ commercially available technologies and products distributed by various companies.

 Our technology platform is compatible with many systems used by our customers, enabling us to deliver call analytics and texting products and services through mobile, online and offline sources in rapid response to user queries made through our customers at scale. We continue to build and innovate additional functionality to attempt to meet the quickly evolving demands of the marketplace. In order to maintain service availability, we primarily rely upon third parties to provide hosting services, including hardware support and service, and network monitoring at various domestic and international locations. Our servers and cloud-based services are configured for high availability and large volumes of call, mobile and texting based traffic and are located in leased third party facilities or deployed through cloud-based solution providers. Back-end databases make use of redundant servers and data storage arrays. We also have standby servers that provide additional capacity as necessary.

 We continuously review ways to improve major aspects of our technology support and maintenance, including improving, upgrading, and implementing business continuity plans, data retention initiatives, and backup and recovery processes.

 Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

 We maintain a number of patents in the U.S. and other jurisdictions relating to various aspects of our technology. In addition to our patent portfolio, we have assembled, over time, an international portfolio of trademarks that covers certain of our products and services. We regularly analyze our patent and trademark portfolios and prepare additional patent applications on current and anticipated features of our technology and trademark applications for new product and service names, or abandon patents, trademarks or applications that are no longer relevant or valuable to our operations.

 Our ability to compete across our businesses partly depends on the superiority, uniqueness, and value of the technology that we develop. To protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties, and protective contractual provisions. These efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our technology or may not prevent the development and design by others of products or technologies similar to or competitive with those we develop.

 Employees

 As of December 31, 2024, we employed a total of 163 full-time employees. We have never had a work stoppage and none of our employees are represented by a labor union. We consider our employee relationships to be positive.

 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 An investment in our Class B common stock involves various risks, including those mentioned below and those that are discussed from time to time in our other periodic filings with the SEC. Investors should carefully consider these risks, along with the other information contained in this report, before making an investment decision regarding our stock. There may be additional risks of which we are currently unaware, or which we currently consider immaterial. All of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the value of our stock.

 FINANCIAL RISKS

 We have largely incurred net losses since our inception, and we may incur net losses in the foreseeable future.

 We had an accumulated deficit of $326.2 million as of December 31, 2024. Our net expenses may increase based on the initiatives we undertake which for instance, may include increasing our sales and marketing activities, hiring additional personnel, incurring additional costs as a result of being a public company, acquiring additional businesses and making additional equity grants to our employees. This may result in the reduction of our cash balances or the incurrence of debt.

 We have in the past and may in the future find it advisable to take measures to streamline operations and reduce expenses, including, without limitation, reducing our workforce or discontinuing certain products or businesses. Such measures may place significant strains on our management and employees, and could impair our development, marketing, sales, and customer support efforts. We may also incur liabilities from these measures. Such effects from streamlining could have a negative impact on our business and financial results.

 We believe that our future revenue growth will depend on, among other factors, our ability to attract new customers, compete effectively, maximize our sales efforts, demonstrate a positive return on investment, successfully improve existing products and services, and develop successful new products and services. If we are unable to generate adequate revenue growth and manage our expenses, we may continue to incur significant losses in the future and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

 We received approximately 33% of our revenue from our five largest customers for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the loss of one or more of these customers could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

 Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 33% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024. In particular, our customers in the automotive and related services sectors account for a significant portion of our revenue.

 Many of our customers are not subject to long-term contracts with us or have contracts with near term expiration dates and are able to reduce or in some cases cease spending at any time and for any reason. We have agreements with certain large customers which provide flexibility around financial commitments, termination rights, indemnification, and security obligations. Our large customers may vary spend levels and there can be no assurances that our large customers will continue to spend at levels similar to prior quarters. If any of our largest customers are acquired, such acquisition may impact its spending with us. Furthermore, our large customers from time to time may impose financial condition, data security and privacy or insurance requirements that we may not be able to satisfy. A significant reduction in spending by our largest customers, or the loss of one or more of these customers, if not replaced by new customers or an increase in business from existing customers, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Our large customers have substantial negotiating leverage, which may require that we agree to terms and conditions that may have an adverse effect on our business.

 Our large customers have substantial purchasing power and leverage in negotiating contractual arrangements with us. These customers may seek for us to develop additional features, may require penalties for failure to deliver such features, may seek discounted product or service pricing, and may seek more favorable contractual terms. As we sell more products and services to this class of customer, we may be required to agree to such terms and conditions. Such large customers also have substantial leverage in negotiating resolution of any disagreements or disputes that may arise. Any of the foregoing factors could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 If some of our customers experience financial distress or suffer disruptions in their business, their weakened financial position could negatively affect our own financial position and results.

 We have a diverse customer base, and, at any given time, one or more customers may experience financial distress, file for bankruptcy protection, go out of business, or suffer disruptions in their business. If a customer with whom we do a substantial amount of business experiences financial difficulty or suffers disruptions in their business, it could delay or jeopardize the collection of accounts receivable, result in significant reductions in services provided by us and may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity.

 We may need additional funding to meet our obligations and to pursue our business strategy. Additional funding may not be available to us and our financial condition could therefore be adversely affected.

 We may require additional funding to meet our ongoing obligations and to pursue our business strategy, which may include the selective acquisition of businesses and technologies. In addition, we have incurred, and we may incur certain obligations in the future. There can be no assurance that, if we were to need additional funds to meet these obligations, additional financing arrangements would be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Furthermore, if adequate additional funds are not available, we will be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate material parts of the implementation of our business strategy, including potential additional acquisitions or internally developed businesses.

 Our quarterly results of operations might fluctuate due to seasonality, which could adversely affect our growth rate and in turn the market price of our securities.

 Our quarterly results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future due to seasonality. Our experience has shown that during the spring and summer months, call volumes in certain verticals such as home services are generally higher than during other times of the year and during the latter part of the fourth quarter of the calendar year, we generally experience lower call volumes. The extent to which call volumes may decrease during these off-peak periods is difficult to predict. Prolonged or severe decreases in call volumes during these periods may adversely affect our growth rate and results, and in turn, the market price of our securities. Historically, we have seen this trend generally reversing in the first quarter of the calendar year with increased call volumes and often new budgets at the beginning of the year for many of our customers with fiscal years ending December 31. However, there can be no assurances such seasonal trends will consistently repeat each year.

 If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, which could harm our brand and operating results.

 Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable and accurate financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. We have devoted significant resources and time to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley ("SOX") Act of 2002. In addition, SOX Section 404 requires that we assess and in certain instances for our auditors to attest to the effectiveness of our controls over financial reporting. Our current and future compliance with the annual internal control report requirement will depend on the effectiveness of our financial reporting and data systems and controls across our operating subsidiaries. We expect these systems and controls to become increasingly complex to the extent that we integrate acquisitions and our business grows. To effectively manage this growth, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. We cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we design, implement, and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation or operation, could harm our operating results, or cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock and our access to capital.

 We may be required to pay additional income, sales, or other taxes.

 Tax authorities at the international, federal, state, and local levels are continually reviewing the appropriate treatment of companies engaged in digital information services. Furthermore, from time to time, various state, federal and other jurisdictional tax authorities undertake reviews of us and our filings. In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, we may on occasion accrue charges for probable exposures. We cannot predict the outcome of any of these reviews nor whether any will have a material adverse impact on our business.

 STRATEGIC RISKS

 The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and rapidly changing and we may be unable to compete successfully.

 There are a number of companies that offer or may develop products that compete in our targeted markets. We compete with call analytics technology providers such as Twilio and Invoca, as well as messaging platform providers such as EZ Texting. As we continue to advance our conversational analytics and related technologies, we anticipate facing increased competition from companies providing broader a broader range of products and solutions, such as Google (which offers Google Ads call tracking). The markets for our products and services are characterized by intense competition, evolving industry and regulatory standards, emerging business and distribution models, disruptive software and hardware technology developments, short product and service life cycles, price sensitivity on the part of customers, and frequent new product introductions. While we are developing and deploying features powered by AI across our conversational analytics offerings, competitors may develop comparable or superior AI-powered features before we do, which could adversely affect our business. Current and potential competitors have established, or may establish, cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their technologies to address the needs of our prospective customers. Furthermore, there has been a trend toward industry consolidation in our markets for several years. We expect this trend to continue as companies attempt to strengthen or hold their market positions.

 The competition in our targeted markets could adversely affect our operating results by reducing the volume of the products and services we license or sell or the prices we can charge. Some of our current or potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. These competitors may be able to respond more rapidly than we can to new or emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements. They may also devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products than we do. To the extent they do so, market acceptance and penetration of our products and services, and therefore our revenues, may be adversely affected. Our success and long-term growth depends substantially upon our ability to enhance our products and services and to develop and introduce, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new products and services that meet changing customer requirements and incorporate technological enhancements. If we are unable to develop or acquire new products, services, functionalities, or technologies to adapt to these changes or otherwise fail to maintain a technological edge, our business will suffer.

 The conversational analytics and solutions market may develop more slowly than expected, which could harm our business.

 If the market for conversational analytics solutions develops more slowly than we expect, our business could suffer. Our future success is highly dependent on the increased adoption by businesses of conversational analytics and solutions, and our ability to sell our conversational analytics and solutions services to large to small customers in different verticals as well as to reseller partners and agencies. The advertising and sales market is rapidly evolving, and most businesses have historically not utilized nor allocated a portion of their marketing and/or sales budgets to conversational analytics and solutions. As a result, the future demand and market acceptance for conversational analytics and related services is uncertain.

 Our business strategy is evolving and may involve pursuing new lines of business or strategic transactions and investments, some of which may not be successful.

 Our industry is undergoing significant change and our business strategy is continuing to evolve to meet these changes. In order to profitably grow our business, we may need to expand into new lines of business beyond our current focus of providing call and text analytics services, which may involve pursuing strategic transactions, including potential acquisitions of, or investments in, related or unrelated businesses. In addition, we may seek divestitures of existing businesses or assets and may pursue other strategic alternatives and opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be successful with our efforts to evolve our business strategy and we could suffer significant losses as a result, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Our acquisitions could divert management's attention, cause ownership dilution to our stockholders, cause our earnings to decrease and be difficult to integrate.

 Our business strategy includes identifying, structuring, completing, and integrating acquisitions. Acquisitions involve a high degree of risk. We may also be unable to find a sufficient number of attractive opportunities to meet our objectives which include revenue growth, profitability, and competitive market share. Our acquired companies may have histories of net losses and may expect net losses for the foreseeable future.

 Acquisitions are accompanied by a number of risks that could harm our business, operating results and financial condition: we could experience a substantial strain on our resources, including time and money, and we may not be successful; our management's attention could be diverted from our ongoing business concerns; we may seek to enter new markets where we have no or limited experience or where competitors may have stronger market positions; integrating new companies may take longer than expected; while integrating new companies, we may lose key executives or other employees of these companies; we may issue shares of our Class B common stock as consideration for acquisitions which may result in ownership dilution to our stockholders; acquisitions of certain companies may result in us pursuing a diversified operating or holding company structure to allow us to focus on running diverse businesses independently, but in such event we may not realize the anticipated strategic benefits; we could fail to successfully integrate our financial and management controls, technology, reporting systems and procedures, or adequately expand, train and manage our workforce; we could experience customer dissatisfaction or performance problems with an acquired company or technology; we could become subject to unknown or underestimated liabilities of an acquired entity or incur unexpected expenses or losses from such acquisitions, including litigation; we could incur possible impairment charges related to goodwill or other intangible assets resulting from acquisitions or other unanticipated events or circumstances, any of which could harm our business; and we may be exposed to investigations and/or audits by federal, state or other taxing authorities.

 Consequently, we might not be successful in integrating any acquired businesses, products, or technologies, and might not achieve anticipated revenue and cost benefits.

 We may decide to dispose of assets or a business that may no longer help us meet our objectives.

 If we decide to sell assets or a business, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner, which could delay the achievement of our strategic objectives. We may also dispose of a business at a price or on terms that are less desirable than we had anticipated. In addition, we may experience greater disruption to our remaining business than expected, and the impact of the divestiture on our revenue may be larger than projected.

 OPERATIONAL RISKS

 We depend on being able to secure enough phone numbers and associated telecommunication services to support our customers and other users of our services and any obstacles that we face which prevent us from meeting this demand could adversely affect our business.

 We utilize phone numbers as part of a number of information and analytic services to our customers, such as our call and text analytics and communications. We secure a majority of our phone numbers through telecommunication carriers that we have contracted with and a smaller number through the 800 Service Management System, and such telecommunication carriers provide the underlying telephone service. Our telecommunications carriers and telephone number acquisition process are subject to the rules and guidelines established by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). Furthermore, we may be directly subject to certain telecommunications-related regulations. The FCC and our telecommunication carriers may change the rules and guidelines for securing phone numbers or change the requirements for retaining the phone numbers we have already secured. As a result, we may not be able to secure or retain sufficient phone numbers needed for our services. We may also be limited in the number of available telecommunications carriers or vendors to provide such phone numbers and associated services to us in the event of any industry consolidations. In addition, mobile carriers in the United States and Canada have added, or are currently contemplating adding significant one-time and recurring registration requirements, including "10DLC" brand registration, and/or use limitations (e.g. messaging volume caps) for each phone number, and have imposed or are considering imposing significant additional fees as well as penalties for failure to register or certain use violations for registered numbers. Moreover, mobile carriers and our telecommunication service providers use various automated screening technologies on messaging content crossing their networks, which operate based on disparate and sometimes unpredictable sets of standards and restrictions. The application of such screening technologies to content transmitted by our customers through their use of our services may negatively impact our ability to provide services to certain customers deemed potentially problematic by carriers, subject us to financial penalties, and/or result in telecommunication service providers refusing to provide service to us. Any of the foregoing factors could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Our technical systems are vulnerable to interruption and damage that may be costly and time-consuming to resolve and may harm our business and reputation.

 A disaster could interrupt our services for an indeterminate length of time and severely damage our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from: fire; floods; network failure; hardware failure; software failure; power loss; telecommunications failures; break-ins; terrorism, war or sabotage; computer viruses; denial of service attacks; penetration of our network by unauthorized computer users and "hackers" and other similar events; natural disasters, including, but not limited to, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes; and other unanticipated problems.

 We may not have developed or implemented adequate protections or safeguards to overcome any of these events. We also may not have anticipated or addressed many of the potential events that could threaten or undermine our technology network. Any of these occurrences could cause material interruptions or delays in our business, result in the loss of data or render us unable to provide services to our customers. In addition, if a person is able to circumvent our security measures, they could destroy or misappropriate valuable information, including sensitive customer information, or disrupt our operations. We have deployed firewall technology intended to thwart hacker attacks. Although we maintain property insurance and business interruption insurance, our insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of a catastrophic system failure or other loss, and our insurers may not be able to compensate us for all losses that may occur or may decline to do so for a variety of reasons. If we fail to address these issues in a timely manner, we may lose the confidence of our customers and reseller partners, our revenue may decline, and our business could suffer.

 Cybersecurity risks could adversely affect our business and disrupt our operations.

 The threats to network and data security are increasingly diverse and sophisticated. Despite our efforts and processes to prevent cybersecurity incidents as further detailed in the Item 1C disclosure below, our information systems, and those of third parties that we use in our operations are vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, including cyber-attacks such as viruses and worms, phishing attacks, denial-of-service attacks, ransomware attacks, physical or electronic break-ins, employee theft or misuse, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering, which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of critical data, unauthorized access to user data, and loss of customer confidence. In addition, we may be the target of email scams that attempt to acquire personal information or Company assets. Despite our efforts to create security barriers to such threats, we may not be able to entirely mitigate these risks. Any cyber-attack that attempts to obtain our or our users' data and assets, disrupt our service, or otherwise access our systems, or those of third parties we use, if successful, could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition, be expensive to remedy, and damage our reputation. In addition, any such breaches may result in negative publicity, adversely affect our brand, decrease demand for our products and services, and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

 A failure of service by one or more third-party provider(s) of technology, telecommunication or other communication services, software or hardware that we rely on could adversely affect our business and reputation.

 We rely upon third-party cloud providers to host our products and services. We may experience interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time as a result of problems with our third party cloud providers' infrastructure. Lack of availability of this infrastructure could be due to a number of potential causes including technical failures, natural disasters, fraud or security breaches that we cannot predict or prevent. In addition, if our security, or that of any of these third party cloud providers, is compromised, or our products and services are rendered unavailable to our customers and cannot be restored within a reasonable amount of time or at all, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 We also rely on a select group of third-party providers for various components of our technology platform and support for our services, such as hardware and software providers, telecommunications carriers and Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") providers, software-as-a-service providers, and credit card processors. As a result, key operational resources of our business are concentrated with a limited number of third-party providers. A failure or limitation of service or available capacity by any of these third-party providers could adversely affect our business and reputation. In addition, our software-as-a service providers are themselves reliant on third-party cloud providers described in the preceding paragraph such that a disruption of the availability of the underlying infrastructure may also impair their ability to maintain the availability of their services that we rely on. Furthermore, if any of these providers described in this paragraph are unable to provide the levels of service and dedicated resources over time that we require in our business, we may not be able to replace certain of these providers in a manner that is efficient, cost-effective or satisfactory to our customers, and as a result our business could be materially and adversely affected. Short term or repeat problems with any of these service providers could provide an interruption of service or service quality impairment to significant customers, which could also impact materially our revenue in any period due to credits or potential loss of significant customers.

 If our security measures, including those of our vendors or partners, are breached or are perceived as not being secure, we may lose customers and incur significant legal and financial exposure and suffer an adverse effect on our business.

 We store and transmit data and information about our customers and their respective users. We also work with vendors and partners who may come into contact with certain data, such as carriers, and data processing and storage providers. We deploy security measures to protect this data and information, as do the third parties we utilize to assist in data and information processing and storage. Our security measures and those of the third parties we partner with to assist in data and information processing and/or storage, as well as to assist in the delivery of services to our customers, may suffer breaches. Security breaches of our data storage systems or our technology providers we utilize to process and store data and information relating to our customers and their respective users could expose us to significant potential liability. Similarly, security breaches of our vendors and partners, or ineffective data security by our vendors or partners, may result in similar significant liability. In addition, security breaches, actual or perceived, could result in legal liability, government fines, and the loss of customers that could potentially have an adverse effect on our business. Although we maintain cyber-liability insurance, our coverage may not be adequate to compensate us for all costs and liabilities that we may incur as a result of a security breach, and our insurers may not be able to compensate us for all losses that may occur or may decline to do so for a variety of reasons.

 LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE RISKS

 We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights, which could adversely affect our competitive position.

 Our ability to compete across our businesses partly depends on the superiority, uniqueness and value of the technology that we develop. To protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties, and protective contractual provisions. These efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our technology, or may not prevent the development and design by others of products or technologies similar to or competitive with those we develop.

 We maintain a number of patents in the U.S. and other jurisdictions relating to various aspects of our technology. In addition to our patent portfolio, we have assembled, over time, an international portfolio of trademarks that covers certain of our products and services. We regularly analyze our patent and trademark portfolios and prepare additional patent applications on current and anticipated features of our technology and trademark applications for new product and service names, or abandon patents, trademarks or applications that are no longer relevant or valuable to our operations.

 The status of any patent involves complex legal and factual questions. The scope of allowable claims is often uncertain. As a result, we cannot be sure that: (1) any patent application filed by us will result in a patent being issued; (2) that any patents issued in the future will afford adequate protection against competitors with similar technology; and (3) that the patents issued to us, if any, will not be infringed upon or designed around by others.

 Despite our efforts to protect our technology and proprietary rights through intellectual property rights, licenses and other contractual protections, unauthorized parties may still copy or otherwise obtain and use our software and other technology.

 In addition, we may in the future expand internationally, and effective intellectual property, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may not be available or may be limited in foreign countries. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Further, companies in the internet, communications and technology industries may own large numbers of patents, copyrights and trademarks and may frequently threaten litigation, or file suit against us based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights, which may adversely affect our business or financial prospects.

 We may incur liabilities for the activities of our customers and other users of our services, which could adversely affect our business.

 The actual or perceived improper sending of text messages or voice calls may subject us to potential risks, including liabilities or claims relating to consumer protection laws and regulatory enforcement, including fines. For example, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") of 1991 restricts telemarketing and the sending of automatic short message service ("SMS") text messages without explicit customer consent. The scope and interpretation of the federal and state laws and regulations that are or may be applicable to the delivery of text messages or voice calls are continuously evolving and developing. If we do not comply with these laws or regulations or if we become liable under these laws or regulations due to the failure of our customers to comply with these laws by obtaining proper consent, we could face direct liability. We rely on contractual representations made to us by our customers that they will comply with our acceptable use restrictions and applicable law and regulations in using our services. We cannot predict whether our role in facilitating our customers' or other users' activities would expose us to liability under applicable law.

 Even if claims asserted against us do not result in liability, we may incur substantial costs in investigating and defending such claims. If we are found liable for our customers' or other users' activities, we could be required to pay fines or penalties, redesign business methods or otherwise expend resources to remedy any damages caused by such actions and to avoid future liability, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Our insurance policies may not provide coverage for liability arising out of activities of our customers or other users of our services. In addition, we may not be able to obtain or maintain adequate insurance coverage to reduce or limit the liabilities associated with our businesses. Any costs incurred as a result of such liability or asserted liability could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 We may be subject to intellectual property claims, which could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to use certain critical technologies, divert our resources and management attention from our business operations and create uncertainty about ownership of technology essential to our business.

 Our success depends, in part, on our ability to operate without infringing on the intellectual property rights of others. There can be no guarantee that any of our intellectual property will not be challenged by third parties. We may be subject to patent infringement claims that would be costly to defend and could limit our ability to use certain critical technologies.

 We believe that a consolidation of patent portfolios by major technology companies and independent asset holding companies will increase the chances of aggressive assertions of patent and other intellectual property claims. Within the technology, telecommunications, and online sectors, among other related sectors, we have witnessed various claim holders and alleged rights holders pursue business strategies devoted to extracting settlements or license fees for a wide range of basic and commonly accepted methods and practices.

 We may be subject to those intellectual property claims in the ordinary course of our business. Also, our partners and customers may also find that they are subject to similar claims, in which case we may be included in any related process or dispute settlement. Any patent or other intellectual property litigation could negatively impact our business by diverting resources and management attention from other aspects of the business and adding uncertainty as to the ownership of technology, services and property that we view as proprietary and essential to our business. In addition, a successful claim of patent infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology on reasonable terms, or at all, could prevent us from using critical technologies which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 Federal, state, and foreign regulation of telecommunications and data privacy may adversely affect our business and operating results.

 We provide information and analytics services to our customers and reseller partners. In connection therewith, we obtain certain telecommunications products and services from carriers in order to deliver these packages of information and analytic services.

 Telecommunications laws and regulations (and interpretations thereof) are evolving in response to rapid changes in the telecommunications industry. If our carrier providers were to be subject to any changes in applicable law or regulation (or interpretations thereof), or additional taxes or surcharges, then we in turn may be subject to increased costs for their products and services or receive products and services that may be of less value to our customers, which in turn could adversely affect our business and operating results. Furthermore, our call recording and/or monitoring services may directly subject us to certain telecommunications-related laws and regulations. Finally, in the event that any federal or state regulators were to expand the scope of applicable laws and regulations or their application to include certain end users and information service providers, then our business and operating results could also be adversely affected. The following existing and possible future federal and state laws could impact the growth and profitability of our business:

 • The Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Act"), and the regulations promulgated by the FCC under Title II of the Act, may impose federal licensing, reporting and other regulatory obligations on the Company. To the extent we contract with and use the networks of VoIP service providers, new legislation or FCC regulation in this area could restrict our business, prevent us from offering service or increase our cost of doing business. There are an increasing number of regulations and rulings that specifically address access to commerce and communications services on the Internet, including internet protocol ("IP") telephony. We are unable to predict the impact, if any, that future legislation, legal decisions, or regulations concerning voice services offered via the Internet may have on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 • The U.S. Congress, the FCC, state legislatures or state agencies may target, among other things, access or settlement charges, imposing taxes related to Internet communications, imposing tariffs or other regulations based on encryption concerns, or the characteristics and quality of products and services that we may offer. Any new laws or regulations concerning these, or other areas of our business could restrict our growth or increase our cost of doing business.

 • There is risk that a regulatory agency will require us to conform to rules that are unsuitable for IP communications technologies or rules that cannot be complied with due to the nature and efficiencies of IP routing, or are unnecessary or unreasonable in light of the manner in which we offer voice-related services such as call recording services to our customers.

 • Federal and state telemarketing laws including the TCPA which limits the use of autodialing systems, artificial or prerecorded voice messages, SMS text messages and fax machines, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the Telemarketing Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In recent years, the TCPA has become a fertile source for both individual and class action lawsuits and regulatory actions. Specifically, the TCPA restricts telemarketing and the transmission of automatic SMS text messages without proper consent. The scope and interpretation of the laws and regulations that are or may be applicable to the delivery of text messages and/or to the allowable methods of obtaining proper consent are continuously evolving and developing. If we do not comply with these laws or regulations or if we become liable under these laws or regulations due to the failure of our customers to comply with these laws by obtaining proper consent, we could face liability. In addition, certain regulatory developments in this area may adversely impact the demand for some of our services (e.g. our text analytics and communications services) if some our customers become unable to obtain proper consents for their communications at historical volumes.

 • The Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The FCC has adopted rules requiring originating and terminating voice service providers to implement the STIR/SHAKEN caller identification ("ID") authentication framework to combat spoofed robocalls and is expected to adopt additional measures for that purpose. A number of our information services depend on integrations with voice service providers subject to these regulations. We maintain a registration in FCC's Robocall Mitigation Database as a Non-Gateway Intermediate Provider. If we do not comply with our providers' evolving requirements pertaining to these regulations or if future regulatory measures relative to the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication framework result in unforeseen interoperability issues for our information services that we are unable to address in a timely and efficient manner, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be negatively impacted and/or we could face liability.

 • Laws affecting telephone call recording and associated consent requirements. Under the Federal Wiretap Act, at least one party taking part in a call must be notified if the call is being recorded. Under this law, and most state laws, there is nothing illegal about one of the parties to a telephone call recording the conversation. However, a number of states (i.e. California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington) require that all parties consent when one party wants to record a telephone conversation. The telephone recording laws in other states, like federal law, require only one party to be aware of the recording. The scope of the consent requirements under these laws may expand over time based on evolving case law in this area.

 • The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act may require that we undertake material modifications to our platforms and processes to permit wiretapping and other access for law enforcement personnel.

 • Under various Orders of the FCC, we may be required to make material retroactive and prospective contributions to funds intended to support Universal Service, Telecommunications Relay Service, Local Number Portability, the North American Numbering Plan and the budget of the FCC.

 • Laws in most states of the United States of America may require registration or licensing of one or more of our subsidiaries, and may impose additional taxes, fees or telecommunications surcharges on the provision of our services which we may not be able to pass through to customers.

 • Our international operations may expose us to telecommunications regulations and data and privacy regulations in the countries where we are operating, and these regulations could negatively affect the viability of our business in those regions.

 We may also be subject to costs and liabilities with respect to privacy issues. Several companies have incurred penalties for failing to abide by the representations made in their public-facing privacy policies. In addition, a significant number of U.S. states have enacted laws that require businesses and their service providers to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect personal information and to provide notice to consumers in the event of a security breach. For example, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act, which was subsequently amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, "CPRA"), which went into effect on January 1, 2023. The CPRA gives California residents rights to access, correct, and delete their personal information, opt out of certain types of personal information sharing, limit the use of sensitive personal information as well as receive detailed information about how their personal information is retained and used. The CPRA and the regulations promulgated thereunder also include requirements for provisions to be included by businesses in their respective contracts with service providers, which limit the scope of permissible use for personal data processed as part of the services and give businesses certain rights to assess their service providers' data processing operations. The CPRA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. Multiple other states have enacted privacy-related legislation that provides for consumer rights similar to the CPRA. Further, it is anticipated that additional federal and state privacy-related legislation may be enacted. Such legislation could negatively affect our business in various ways such as by increasing our and/or our customers' costs of compliance. Finally, the majority of the aforementioned privacy laws and regulations do not apply to information historically regulated by certain industry-specific legislation and regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") and/or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, each of which include separate sets of security standards for the processing of covered data and provide for significant civil and/or criminal penalties for violations. To the extent that we increase our market share of conversational analytics offerings for customers in the healthcare and/or financial services industries, our risk of possible costs and liabilities related to compliance with these additional laws increases as well.

 Foreign countries may enact laws that could negatively impact our business and/or may prosecute us for violating existing laws. Such laws might include European Union ("EU") member country conforming legislation under applicable EU Privacy, eCommerce, Data Protection Directives (and similar legislation in other countries where we may have operations), the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), which is directly applicable to all member states and which has substantial compliance obligations and significant potential administrative fines for non-compliance, as well as the GDPR equivalent law retained by the United Kingdom and any successor legislation thereto. Any costs incurred in addressing foreign laws could negatively affect the viability of our business. Our exposure to this risk will increase to the extent we expand our operations internationally.

 In addition, the potential regulation of new and emerging technologies, such as AI, which we are increasingly building into many of our new offerings, may result in increased compliance costs and risks. Any additional costs and penalties associated with increased compliance and risk mitigation could make certain offerings less profitable or increase the difficulty of bringing certain offerings to market.

 We may face risks related to litigation that could result in significant legal expenses and settlement or damage awards.

 From time to time, we are subject to claims and litigation, which could seriously harm our business and require us to incur significant costs.

 We are generally obliged, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify our current and former directors and officers who are named as defendants in these types of lawsuits. Defending against litigation may require significant attention and resources of management. Regardless of the outcome, such litigation could result in significant legal expenses.

 If we are a party to material litigation and if the defenses we claim are ultimately unsuccessful, or if we are unable to achieve a favorable settlement, we could be liable for large damage awards that could have a material adverse effect on our business and Consolidated Financial Statements.

 GENERAL RISKS

 We are susceptible to general economic conditions, climate change, natural catastrophic events and public health crises, and any resulting negative impacts on our customers could adversely affect our operating results.

 Our operating results will be subject to fluctuations based on general economic conditions, which are subject to a range of macroeconomic uncertainties such as labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, inflation and monetary supply shifts, among others. Any economic downturn could result in: a deterioration in the credit quality of our customers, which could adversely affect our accounts receivables; sales prospects delaying decision making and reducing propensity to purchase; challenges in servicing customers and extending and entering into new agreements; a reduction in customer budgets and slower sales cycles; customer requests for price concessions and extended payment terms; customer cancellations and inability to pay; and/or customer reconsideration and delay in launching test programs with us. Any such outcomes can cause decreases in or delays in customer spending and negatively impact our short-term ability to grow our revenues or result in significant decline in revenues, a significant decrease in our operating cash flows and/or otherwise negatively impact our results of operations.

 Our business is also subject to the impact of global climate change which can increase the frequency of natural catastrophic events such as drought, wildfires, storms, sea-level rise, earthquakes, floods, or power outages. The long-term effects of climate change on the global economy and our industry in particular are unclear but could be severe.

 Furthermore, global political crises such as terrorism or war, and public health crises, such as disease outbreaks, epidemics, or pandemics and their resulting impacts on the U.S. and global economies, our markets and business locations, could negatively impact our operating results.

 The loss of our senior management, including other key personnel, could harm our current and future operations and prospects.

 We are heavily dependent upon the continued services of members of our senior management team and other key personnel. Each member of our senior management team and other key personnel are at-will employees and may voluntarily terminate their employment with us at any time with minimal notice. Following any termination of employment, each of these members would only be subject to a twelve-month non-competition and non-solicitation obligation with respect to our customers and employees under our standard confidentiality agreement. The loss of the services of any member of our senior management, including other key personnel, for any reason, or any conflict among our senior management or other key personnel, could harm our current and future operations and prospects. We have experienced turnover in certain senior executives in recent years. Additional turnover at the senior management level may create instability within the Company and our employees may decide to terminate their employment, which could further impede the maintenance of our day-to-day operations. Such instability could impede our ability to implement fully our business plan and growth strategy, which would harm our business and prospects.

 We may have difficulty retaining current personnel as well as attracting and retaining additional qualified, experienced, highly skilled personnel, which could adversely affect the implementation of our business plan.

 Our performance is largely dependent upon the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. In order to fully implement our business plan, we will need to retain our current qualified personnel, as well as attract and retain additional qualified personnel. Thus, our success will, in significant part, depend upon our retention of current personnel as well as the efforts of personnel not yet identified and upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, engineering, sales and marketing personnel. We are also dependent on managerial and technical personnel to the extent they may have knowledge or information about our businesses and technical systems that may not be known by our other personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain necessary personnel. The failure to hire and retain such personnel could adversely affect the implementation of our business plan.

 If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate insurance, our financial condition could be adversely affected in the event of uninsured or inadequately insured loss or damage. Our ability to effectively recruit and retain qualified officers and directors may also be adversely affected if we experience difficulty in maintaining adequate directors' and officers' liability insurance.

 We may not be able to obtain and maintain insurance policies on terms affordable to us that would adequately insure our business and property against damage, loss or claims by third parties. To the extent our business, property or systems suffer any damages, losses or claims by third parties that are not covered or adequately covered by insurance, our financial condition may be materially adversely affected. We currently have directors' and officers' liability insurance. If we are unable to maintain sufficient insurance as a public company to cover liability claims made against our officers and directors, we may not be able to retain or recruit qualified officers and directors to manage our company, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

 It may be difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect our business and our ability to maintain the listing of our Class B common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

 We may be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of changes in the rules and regulations which govern publicly-held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications from executive officers and requirements for financial experts on boards of directors. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles. Further, applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NASDAQ heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual's independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters along with evolving diversity requirements for board composition. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, our business and our ability to maintain the listing of our shares of Class B common stock on the NASDAQ could be adversely affected.

 Our Class B common stock prices have been and are likely to continue to be highly volatile.

 The trading prices of our Class B common stock have been and are likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations and have at times declined significantly.

 Our stock prices may fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, which may be the result of our business strategy or events beyond our control, including: actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; developments concerning proprietary rights, including patents, by us or a competitor; announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, financings, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; loss of senior management or other key personnel; registration of additional shares of Class B common stock in connection with acquisitions; lawsuits initiated against us or lawsuits initiated by us; announcements of acquisitions or technical innovations; potential loss or reduced contributions from customers and reseller partners; significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of technology companies in general and of companies in our industry in particular; changes in growth or earnings estimates or recommendations by analysts; changes in the market valuations of similar companies; changes in our industry and the overall economic environment, including but not limited to uncertainty attributable to public health crises, such as disease outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics; volume of shares of Class B common stock available for public sale, including upon conversion of Class A common stock or upon exercise of stock options; Class B common stock repurchases under our share repurchase program; sales and purchases of stock by us or by our stockholders, including sales by certain of our executive officers and directors pursuant to written pre-determined selling and purchase plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; short sales, hedging and other derivative transactions on shares of our Class B common stock; and an adverse impact on us from any of the other risks cited in this Risk Factors section.

 In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ, the market for technology companies in particular, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the listed companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our Class B common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies.

 Litigation against us, whether or not judgment is entered against us, could result in substantial costs and potentially economic loss, and a diversion of our management's attention and resources, any of which could seriously harm our financial condition. Additionally, there can be no assurance that an active trading market of our Class B common stock will be sustained.

 If securities analysts do not continue to publish research or publish negative research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 The trading market for our Class B common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes negative research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market for our stock and demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

 Our founder controls the outcome of stockholder voting, and there may be an adverse effect on the price of our Class B common stock due to the disparate voting rights of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock.

 As of December 31, 2024, Russell C. Horowitz, our founder, beneficially owned 100% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, which shares represented 75% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock. The holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock have identical rights except that the holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share, while holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to twenty-five votes per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. This concentration of control could be disadvantageous to our other stockholders with interests different from those of our founder. This difference in the voting rights of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock could adversely affect the price of our Class B common stock to the extent that investors or any potential future purchaser of our shares of Class B common stock give greater value to the superior voting rights of our Class A common stock.

 Further, as long as our founder has a controlling interest, he will continue to be able to elect all or a majority of our board of directors and generally be able to determine the outcome of all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval. As a result, our founder will be in a position to continue to control all fundamental matters affecting our company, including any merger involving, sale of substantially all of the assets of, or change in control of, our company. The ability of our founder to control our company may result in our Class B common stock trading at a price lower than the price at which such stock would trade if our founder did not have a controlling interest in us. This control may deter or prevent a third-party from acquiring us which could adversely affect the market price of our Class B common stock.

 Anti-takeover provisions may limit the ability of another party to acquire us, which could cause our stock price to decline.

 Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, our by-laws, as amended, and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Class B common stock. The following are examples of such provisions in our certificate of incorporation, as amended, or our by-laws, as amended: the authorized number of our directors can be changed only by a resolution of our board of directors; advance notice is required for proposals that can be acted upon at stockholder meetings; there are limitations on who may call stockholder meetings; and our board of directors is authorized, without prior stockholder approval, to create and issue "blank check" preferred stock.

 We are also subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), which provides, subject to enumerated exceptions, that if a person acquires 15% or more of our voting stock, the person is an "interested stockholder" and may not engage in "business combinations" with us for a period of three years from the time the person acquired 15% or more of our voting stock. The application of the DGCL could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company.

 ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

 Not applicable.

 ITEM 1C. Cybersecurity
 We are committed to protecting our information systems against cybersecurity threats. Any cybersecurity incident can adversely affect our business and disrupt our operations as described in greater detail in our Risk Factors relevant to cybersecurity risks. Our senior leadership, in consultation with our board of directors, has assigned responsibilities for ensuring and overseeing the operation of our information security program to the Marchex Information Security Committee ("ISC") comprised of senior representatives of departments across our organization.
 Effective risk management is a critical component of our operations. The ISC conducts a formal cybersecurity risk assessment annually. The assessment methodology is designed to identify cybersecurity threats to our information systems and considers a range of relevant risk factors that include both intentional and unintentional human acts by our or our vendors' personnel, or malicious third-party actors, risks inherent to technology/equipment we and our service providers use, as well as natural and environmental risks. The ISC discusses and documents mitigation strategies based on the risks identified. Results of assessments are reported to senior leadership and our board of directors. To the extent that any control deficiencies or material changes in the threat environment are identified, the ISC may make recommendations for new or improved controls and threat mitigation strategies.
 The ISC also oversees day-to-day cybersecurity risk mitigation efforts, which include, but are not limited to monitoring systems for availability, performance, and security issues, periodic vulnerability scans, penetration testing performed at least annually by independent, reputable, third-party vendors, as well as evaluating any risks associated with prospective third-party service providers who require access to sensitive customer data and implementing any additional controls to address significant risks identified. Furthermore, the ISC meets quarterly to discuss and analyze any relevant developments within the organization and industry relative to cybersecurity, reviews our internal policies and operational procedures relevant to cybersecurity at least annually, and promulgates updates when deemed necessary or advisable.

 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

 Our headquarters are located in Seattle, Washington and consist of approximately 12,000 square feet of leased office space. We lease additional office space in Wichita, Kansas. See Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption "Information Technology and Systems."

 Holders

 As of March 7, 2025, there was 1 shareholder of record of our Class A common stock and 34 shareholders of record of our Class B common stock, respectively. Since many of our shares of Class B common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of shareholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of shareholders represented by these record holders.

 Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 In November 2014, the Company established a 2014 share repurchase program, which supersedes and replaces any prior repurchase programs, and authorized the Company to repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares in the aggregate of the Company's Class B common stock. During the fiscal year 2024, we did not have any share repurchases under this program and 1,319,128 Class B common shares remain available for purchase under the plan.

Marchex enables executive, sales, and marketing teams to optimize customer journey experiences across communications channels. Through our prescriptive analytics solutions, we enable the alignment of enterprise strategy, empowering businesses to increase revenue through informed decision-making and strategic execution. Marchex provides conversational intelligence AI-powered solutions for market-leading companies in leading B2B2C vertical markets, including several of the world's most innovative and successful brands.

 Our mission is to create intelligence around all types of business conversations. We desire to be a leader in vertical market conversational intelligence leveraging generative AI and data analytics. We seek to empower performance improvements for our customers by giving them actionable, real-time insights into the conversations they are having with their customers across phone, text, and other communication channels. We have assembled a set of applications that incorporate AI functionality for enterprises that depend on phone calls, texts, and other communication channels to help convert prospects into customers, enabling compelling customer experiences during the sales process and helping maximize returns. Our proprietary data and conversational insights help enable brands to personalize customer interactions in order to accelerate sales and capture more opportunities to grow their business. We serve large enterprises with a distributed footprint that interact with their customers across multiple communication paths.

 We were incorporated in Delaware on January 17, 2003. We have offices in Seattle, Washington and Wichita, Kansas.

 Components of the Results of our Operations

 We generate the majority of our revenues from our conversational intelligence product offerings. Our AI-powered conversational analytics technology platform provides data and insights into the conversations our clients are having with their customers across phone, text and other communication channels. Our tools enable brands to personalize customer interactions in order to accelerate sales and capture more opportunities to grow their business. We generate revenue when our customers pay us a fee for each call/text or call/text related data element they receive from calls or texts or for each phone number tracked based on a pre-negotiated rate. Customers typically receive the benefit of our services as they are performed and substantially all of our revenue is recognized over time as services are performed.

 Collection on the related receivables may vary from reported information based upon third party refinement of the estimated and reported amounts owed that occurs subsequent to period ends.

 Cost of Revenue

 Our cost of revenue represents the cost of providing our services to our customers. These costs primarily consist of telecommunication costs, including the use of phone numbers relating to our services; bandwidth and software license fees; network operations; and payroll and related expenses of personnel, including stock based compensation.

 The Company has historically reported these costs under the caption "service costs" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, but determined that the change to "cost of revenue" on a go-forward basis, beginning on December 31, 2024, better aligns the Company's financial reporting to its industry and competitors for comparison.

 Sales and Marketing

 Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing and sales functions; advertising and promotional expenditures including online and outside marketing activities; cost of systems used to sell to and serve customers; and stock-based compensation of related personnel.

 Product Development

 Product development costs consist primarily of expenses incurred in the research and development, and creation and enhancement, of our products and services. These costs primarily consist of payroll and related expenses for personnel; costs of computer hardware and software; costs incurred in developing features and functionality of the services we offer; and stock-based compensation of related personnel.

 For the periods presented, substantially all of our product development expenses are research and development. Product development costs are expensed as incurred or capitalized into property and equipment in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

 General and Administrative

 General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses for executive and administrative personnel; professional services, including accounting, legal and insurance; bad debt provisions; facilities costs; other general corporate expenses; and stock-based compensation of related personnel.

 Stock-Based Compensation

 We measure stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize it as expense over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock-based award using the straight-line method. We account for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation expense is included in the same lines as compensation paid to the same employees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 Amortization of Intangibles from Acquisitions

 Amortization of intangible assets excluding goodwill relates to intangible assets identified in connection with our acquisitions. The intangible assets have been identified as customer relationships; acquired technology; non-competition agreements; trade names. These assets are fully amortized as of December 31, 2024.

 Provision for Income Taxes

 We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax law is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 Revenue decreased $1.8 million, or 4%, to $48.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $49.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was impacted primarily by lower conversational volumes in 2024 as compared to 2023, and certain non-recurring non-core analytics revenue in 2023. The lower volumes primarily came from several of our small business listing and solution providers that mostly sell marketing services to local businesses.

 Expenses

 Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue decreased $3.4 million, or 17%, to $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $20.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue was 36% and 41% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change from the prior year was primarily due to $1.8 million in lower conversational data processing and telecommunication costs due to a combination of lower conversational volumes, benefits from leveraging AI technology, and efficient vendor costs management. In addition, personnel costs were $1.7 million lower as we reorganized and realigned our technology teams.

 Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.7 million, or 6%, to $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses were 25% and 23% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change from the prior year was primarily attributable to $1.0 million in higher personnel costs, primarily due to investments made in the sales and marketing function to increase the sales workforce and prioritize go-to-market initiatives. This was partially offset by lower stock-based compensation costs of $0.3 million.

 Product Development. Product development expenses decreased $3.0 million, or 19%, to $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, product development expenses were 26% and 31% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change from the prior year was primarily attributable to $2.9 million in lower personnel and contractor costs, as we reorganized and realigned our research and development teams.

 General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses was consistent at $10.2 million for both the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 21% and 20% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 Amortization of Intangible Assets from Acquisitions. Intangibles amortization expense was $0.6 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This expense was associated with amortization of intangible assets acquired from business acquisitions made in 2018 and 2019, and is further categorized as cost of revenue or sales and marketing expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the nature of the underlying intangible asset. The year over year decrease was driven by certain assets reaching the end of their useful life in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Intangible asset amortization from these acquisitions was completed in 2024 as a result of the remainder of these assets reaching the end of their useful lives.

 Income Tax. Income tax expense was $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, consisting primarily of deferred tax expense and U.S. state income taxes. We incurred federal taxable losses in both 2024 and 2023. The effective tax rate differed from the expected tax rate of 21% in both years primarily due to a the valuation allowance and, to a lesser extent, state income taxes, foreign branch income and rate differential, non-deductible stock-based compensation related to incentive stock options recorded under the fair-value method, and other non-deductible amounts.

 At both December 31, 2024 and 2023, based on all the available evidence, both positive and negative, we determined that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will not be realized and accordingly recorded a full valuation allowance.

 Net Loss. Net loss decreased $5.0 million, or 51%, to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to the $7.0 million decrease in operating expenses, driven by the decrease in cost of revenue and product development expenses discussed above, that was partially offset by the $1.8 million decrease in revenue also discussed above.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.8 million and $14.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had current and non-current contractual obligations of $11.4 million, of which $1.8 million is for payments due under our facilities and financed equipment leases.

 Cash used in operating activities was $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of a net loss of $4.9 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $4.5 million, which primarily included depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, and the rest attributed to changes in working capital of $0.7 million. The change in working capital was driven primarily by a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as well as a decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets. Cash used in operating activities was $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of a net loss of $9.9 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $7.1 million, which primarily included depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, and the rest attributed to changes in working capital of $1.6 million. The change in working capital was driven primarily by a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as well as a decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts receivable.

 Cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and was primarily attributable to cash paid for purchases of property and equipment for our technology infrastructure platform as well as capitalized software development costs in both years.

 Cash used in financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and was primarily attributable to payments made related to equipment financing lease obligations for both years.

 Based on our operating plans we believe that our resources will be sufficient to fund our operations, including any investments in strategic initiatives, for at least twelve months, however macroeconomic factors could influence our operating plans and resources significantly. Additional equity and debt financing may be needed to support our acquisition strategy, our long-term obligations, and our Company's needs. There can be no assurance that, if we needed additional funds, financing arrangements would be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient revenue or raise additional capital could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve our intended business objectives.

 Critical Accounting Policies

 Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our critical accounting policies are those that we believe have the most significant impact to reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and that require the most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments.

 The policies below are critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. In the ordinary course of business, we make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of our results. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we believe the following topics reflect our critical accounting policies and our more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 We generate the majority of our revenues from our conversational intelligence product offerings. Our customers pay us a fee for each call, text, or other communication related data element they receive from calls or texts or for each phone number tracked based on a pre-negotiated rate. As such, the majority of total revenue is derived from contracts that include consideration that is variable in nature. The variable elements of these contracts primarily include the number of transactions (for example, the number of qualified phone calls).

 Customers typically receive the benefit of our services as they are performed and substantially all of our revenue is recognized over time as services are performed. The majority of the Company's customers are invoiced on a monthly basis following the month of the delivery of services and are required to make payments under standard credit terms.

 For arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price from the arrangement is allocated to each respective performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price and recognized when revenue recognition criteria for each performance obligation are met. The standalone selling price for each performance obligation is established based on the sales price at which we would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer or the estimated standalone selling price.

 Collection on the related receivables may vary from reported information based upon third-party refinement of the estimated and reported amounts owed that occurs subsequent to period ends.

 Stock-Based Compensation

 Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires the measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to employees, non-employees and directors including stock options, restricted stock issuances, and restricted stock units be based on estimated fair values. We account for forfeitures as they occur. We measure stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize it as expense over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock-based award using the straight-line method.

 We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model as our method of valuation for stock-based awards with time-based vesting. Our determination of the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected life of the award, our expected stock price, and volatility over the term of the award.

 Although the fair value of stock-based awards is determined in accordance with ASC 718, the assumptions used in calculating fair value of stock-based awards and the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model is highly subjective, and other reasonable assumptions could provide differing results. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. See Note 6: Stockholders' Equity in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

 Goodwill

 Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method. We apply the provisions of the FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, whereby assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead test for impairment at least annually.

 Goodwill is tested annually on November 30 for impairment or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The provisions of the accounting standard for goodwill allow us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Events and circumstances considered in determining whether the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable include but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; and significant changes in competition and market dynamics. These estimates are inherently uncertain and can be affected by numerous factors, including changes in economic, industry or market conditions, changes in business operations, a loss of a significant customer, changes in competition or changes in the share price of common stock and market capitalization. If our stock price were to trade below book value per share for an extended period of time and/or we experience adverse effects of a continued downward trend in the overall economic environment, changes in the business itself, including changes in projected earnings and cash flows, we may have to recognize an impairment of all or some portion of our goodwill assets. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset or asset group's fair value. If the fair value is lower than the carrying value, a material impairment charge may be reported in our financial results. In certain instances, the fair value is determined in part based on cash flow forecasts and discount rate estimates. We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any impairment of goodwill. Should the value of goodwill assets become impaired, we would record the appropriate charge. Any future impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Marchex, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 Basis for Opinion

 These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 Critical Audit Matter

 The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 Occurrence of Pay per Call Revenue

 As described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company generates revenue from the Company's conversational analytics technology platform when customers pay the Company a fee for call, text, or other communication related data element they receive from calls or texts or for each phone number tracked based on a pre-negotiated rate. Revenue is recognized over time as the service is performed.

 We identified the occurrence of pay per call revenue as a critical audit matter as the processes to track and record the calls on which revenue is recorded is based on data from internally developed systems, which are complex and require an increased audit effort around assessing the reliability of data.

 Our audit procedures related to the occurrence of calls included performing the following audit procedures, among others:

 • We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to the occurrence of calls and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness.

 • In order to assess the accuracy of information generated from the internally developed information systems, we reconciled the total call information to the third-party vendor bills.

 • On a sample basis, we agreed the minutes from the call information to the vendor bill.

 • On a sample basis, we listened to calls to determine the call occurred.

 • On a sample basis, we obtained the customer invoice, the supporting call log data from the Company's internal tracking system relating to the invoiced period, and the underlying customer contracts. For each sample we recalculated the invoiced amount.

 • We tested the reasonableness of changes in pay per call revenue by performing trend analysis which compared month-over month revenues.

 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 (a) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
 Marchex, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 17, 2003. The Company is a conversation intelligence company that harnesses the power of AI and conversational intelligence to provide actionable insights aligned with prescriptive vertical market data analytics, driving operational excellence and revenue acceleration. Marchex enables executive, sales, and marketing teams to optimize customer journey experiences across all communication channels. Through our prescriptive analytics solutions, we enable the alignment of enterprise strategy, empowering businesses to increase revenue through informed decision-making and strategic execution.
 The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company has used estimates related to several financial statement amounts, including revenues, the fair value of stock options awards, and the impairment of goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 (b) Going Concern
 Based on our operating plans we believe that our resources will be sufficient to fund our operations, including any investments in strategic initiatives, for at least twelve months from March 14, 2025, the date of financial statement issuance. The Company considers any substantial doubt raised from recent net losses from operations to be alleviated by management's future operating plans, which consist of strategies for product innovation, increased sales, and cost cutting and efficiency efforts. When evaluating the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, management analyzed our strong working capital and cash position, positive momentum from year over year operating performance, and absence of any internal or external matters outstanding that would cause operating plans to be significantly revised.

 (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds. The Company maintains cash balances with large financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.

 (d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 The carrying value of financial instruments approximates their fair value based on the liquidity of these financial instruments and their short-term nature. Further, these financial instruments are considered at Level 1 fair value with observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 Assets, liabilities, and operations of foreign subsidiaries are recorded based on the functional currency of the entity. For a majority of our foreign operations, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are remeasured each month with the remeasurement gain or loss recorded in Interest income (expense) and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 (e) Accounts Receivable
 Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable balances are presented net of allowance for credit losses.

 Allowance for Credit Losses
 The allowance for credit losses is the Company's best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on analysis of historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Past due balances over 90 days and specific other balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The Company reviews accounts for collectability and the allowance for adequacy quarterly. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
 Allowance for Customer Credits
 The allowance for customer credits is the Company's best estimate of the amount of expected future reductions in customers' payment obligations related to delivered services. The Company determines the allowance for customer credits based on analysis of historical credits and expected revenue adjustments.

 (f) Property and Equipment
 Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on computers and other related equipment, purchased and internally developed software, and furniture and fixtures are calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally averaging three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized straight-line over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the assets generally ranging from five to eight years.
 We capitalize certain software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is probable that the software will be used as intended. Capitalized software costs include (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing computer software, (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the software projects. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis when placed into service over the estimated useful life of the software, generally averaging three years. We capitalized $ 47.2 thousand in software development costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $ 0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 (g) Leases
 The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception of the arrangement. For arrangements considered leases, the Company assesses the lease for finance or operating classification and records a right-of-use asset and lease liability as of the commencement date. Finance leases are recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and interest is recognized and presented separately in Interest income (expense) and other on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets which represent the Company's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 (h) Goodwill
 Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method, net of recognized impairment.
 Goodwill acquired in a purchase business combination is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually on November 30, and is tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. No impairment was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 (i) Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
 The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the primary asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds fair value. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and no longer depreciated. No impairment was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 (j) Revenue Recognition
 We generate the majority of our revenues from conversational intelligence product offerings. Customers typically receive the benefit of the Company's services as they are performed and substantially all the Company's revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed.
 Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company measures revenue based on the consideration specified in the customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in the customer arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service or product to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation.
 The Company's AI-powered conversational analytics technology platform provides data and insights into the conversations our clients are having with their customers across phone, text and other communication channels. Our tools enable brands to personalize customer interactions in order to accelerate sales and capture more opportunities to grow their business. The Company generates revenue from the Company's conversational analytics technology platform when customers pay the Company a fee for call, text, or other communication related data element they receive from calls or texts or for each phone number tracked based on a pre-negotiated rate. Revenue is recognized as services are provided over time, which is generally measured by the delivery of each call/text or call/text related data element or each phone number tracked.
 The majority of the Company's customers are invoiced on a monthly basis following the month of the delivery of services and are required to make payments under standard credit terms. The Company establishes an allowance for customer credits, which is included in Accounts receivable, net in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, using its best estimate of the amount of expected future reductions in customers' payment obligations related to delivered services based on analysis of historical credits and expected revenue adjustments.
 The majority of the Company's total revenue is derived from contracts that include consideration that is variable in nature. The variable elements of these contracts primarily include the number of transactions (for example, the number of qualified phone calls). For contracts with an effective term greater than one year, the Company applies the standard's practical expedient that permits the exclusion of disclosure of the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for these contracts as the Company's right to consideration corresponds directly to the value provided to the customer for services completed to date and all future variable consideration is allocated to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations. A term for purposes of these contracts has been estimated at 24 months. In addition, the Company applies the standard's optional exemption to disclose information about performance obligations for contracts that have original expected terms of one year or less.
 For arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price from the arrangement is allocated to each respective performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price and recognized when revenue recognition criteria for each performance obligation are met. The standalone selling price for each performance obligation is established based on the sales price at which the Company would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer or the estimated standalone selling price.

 The Company's incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which consist primarily of sales commissions, are generally deferred and amortized to sales and marketing expense over the estimated life of the relevant customer relationship of approximately 24 months and are subject to being monitored every period to reflect any significant change in assumptions. In addition, the deferred contract cost asset is assessed for impairment on a periodic basis. The Company's contract acquisition costs are included in Other assets, net in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is applying the standard's practical expedient permitting expensing of costs to obtain a contract when the expected amortization period is one year or less, which typically results in expensing commissions paid to acquire certain contracts.

 (k) Cost of Revenue
 Our cost of revenue represents the cost of providing our services to our customers. These costs primarily consist of cloud computing and hosting costs, telecommunication costs, including the use of phone numbers relating to our services; bandwidth and software license fees; network operations; and payroll and related expenses of personnel, including stock based compensation.
 The Company has historically reported these costs under the caption "service costs" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, but determined that the change to "cost of revenue" on a go-forward basis, beginning on December 31, 2024, better aligns the Company's financial reporting to its industry and competitors for comparison.

 (l) Advertising Expenses
 Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and include mobile and online advertising and related outside marketing activities, including sponsorships and trade shows. Such costs are included in sales and marketing. Advertising costs were approximately $ 0.4 million and $ 0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 (m) Product Development
 Product development costs consist primarily of expenses incurred by the Company in the research and development, creation, and enhancement of the Company's products and services. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include compensation and related expenses, costs of computer hardware and software, and costs incurred in developing features and functionality of the services. For the periods presented, substantially all of the product development expenses are related to research and development. Product development costs are expensed as incurred or capitalized into property and equipment in accordance with FASB ASC 350. ASC 350 requires that cost incurred in the preliminary project and post-implementation stages of an internal use software project be expensed as incurred and that certain costs incurred in the application development stage of a project be capitalized.

 (n) Income Taxes

 The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax law is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
 (o) Defined Contribution 401(k) Plan
 The Company maintains voluntary defined contribution plans, which are qualified, covering employees that meet eligibility requirements. Eligible employees may elect to defer and contribute a portion of their eligible compensation to the plans, not to exceed the dollar amounts set by applicable laws. Cash contributions by the Company were approximately $ 0.2 million for both the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 (p) Stock-Based Compensation
 The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes it as expense, over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock award using the straight-line method. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

 (q) Net Loss Per Share
 The Company computes net loss per share of Class A and Class B common stock using the two class method. Under the provisions of the two class method, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The computation of the diluted net loss per share of Class B common stock assumes the conversion of Class A common stock to Class B common stock, while the diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.
 In accordance with the two class method, the undistributed losses for each year are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common shares and the restricted shares as if the losses for the year had been distributed. Considering the terms of the Company's charter which provides that, if and when dividends are declared on its common stock in accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law, equivalent dividends shall be paid with respect to the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock and that both classes of common stock have identical dividend rights and would share equally in the Company's net assets in the event of liquidation, the Company has allocated undistributed losses on a proportionate basis. See Note 6: Stockholders' Equity of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
 Instruments granted in unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities prior to vesting. As such, the Company's restricted stock awards are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating loss per share. Under the two class method, dividends paid on unvested restricted stock are allocated to these participating securities and therefore impact the calculation of amounts allocated to common stock.

 (r) Guarantees
 FASB ASC 460, Guarantees, provides accounting guidance surrounding liability recognition and disclosure requirements related to guarantees. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is not subject to potential obligations under guarantees that fall within the scope of ASC 460 except for standard indemnification provisions that are contained within many of the Company's agreements, and give rise only to the disclosure requirements prescribed by ASC 460.
 In certain agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnification provisions of varying scope and terms with customers, vendors and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company's breach of agreements or representations and warranties made by the Company, services to be provided by the Company and intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. As a result of these provisions, the Company may from time to time provide certain levels of financial support to contract parties to seek to minimize the impact of any associated litigation in which they may be involved. To date, there have been no known events or circumstances that have resulted in any material costs related to these indemnification provisions and no liabilities therefore have been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the maximum potential amount of the future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions could be material.

 (s) Recent Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Effective
 In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and may be applied on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which updates the effective date of the November 2024 issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, that requires public entities to improve disclosures about their expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. ASU 2024-03 is now effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 Note 2: Revenue Recognition
 The majority of the Company's customers are invoiced on a monthly basis following the month of the delivery of services and are required to make payments under standard credit terms. Net accounts receivable, including unbilled accounts receivable, consists of the following:

 Operating segments are revenue-producing components of the enterprise for which separate financial information is produced internally for the Company's management. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company operated in a single segment comprised of its conversational analytics and related solutions. In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, Edwin Miller, Chief Executive Officer, functions as the Company's chief operating decision maker for segment reporting purposes.

 In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting, which improved reportable segment disclosure requirements, on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024 with no material impact to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
 Long-lived assets by geographical region are based on the location of the legal entity that owns the assets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no significant long-lived assets were held by entities outside of the U.S.
 Revenues from customers by geographical areas are tracked on the basis of the location of the customer. The majority of the Company's revenue and accounts receivable are derived from domestic sales to customers.
 Revenues by geographic region are as follows:

 Note 6: Stockholders' Equity
 (a) Common Stock and Authorized Capital
 The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Company has authority to issue is 138,500,000 shares, consisting of (i) 137,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, of which 12,500,000 shares are designated Class A common stock and 125,000,000 shares are designated Class B common stock, and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.01 per share. The Company's board of directors has the authority to designate rights, privileges and restrictions of each such series, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series.
 The Company has two classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Except with respect to voting rights, the Class A and Class B shares have identical rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to twenty-five votes per share, and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class A common stock is convertible at the holder's option into one share of Class B common stock.
 In accordance with the stockholders' agreement signed by the founding Class A common stockholders, the following provisions survived the Company's initial public offering: Class A stockholders other than Russell C. Horowitz may only sell, assign or transfer their Class A stock to existing Class A stockholders or to the Company and in the event of transfers of Class A stock not expressly permitted by the stockholders' agreement, such shares of Class A stock shall be converted into shares of Class B common stock.
 In November 2014, the Company's board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program ("2014 Repurchase Program"), which superseded and replaced any prior repurchase programs. Under the 2014 Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Class B common stock in the aggregate through open market and privately negotiated transactions, at such times and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions. The 2014 Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be expanded, limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The Company made no repurchases under the 2014 Repurchase Program for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Shares repurchased but not yet retired by the Company are classified as treasury stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheet before retirement. Retirement of treasury stock results in reductions to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

 (b) Stock Option Plan
 The Company's active stock incentive plan ("2021 Plan"), which was established in 2021, allows for grants of stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards to eligible participants and such options may be designated as incentive or non-qualified stock options at the discretion of the 2021 Plan's Administrative Committee. Prior to the 2021 Plan, the Company granted stock-based awards under its 2012 Stock Incentive Plan ("2012 Plan"). No further awards were made under the 2012 Plan after December 31, 2021. The 2021 Plan authorizes up to 3,500,000 shares of Class B common stock that may be issued with respect to awards granted under the 2021 Plan, and provides that the total number of shares of Class B common stock for which options designated as incentive stock options may be granted shall not exceed 3,500,000 shares. Annual increases to each of these share limits are to be added on the first day of each fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2022 equal to 3 % of the outstanding common stock (including for this purpose any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding capital stock of the Company) or in the case of incentive stock options, the lesser of (i) 2,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, or (ii) 3 % of the outstanding common stock (including for this purpose any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding capital stock of the Company), or (iii) such number as determined by the Company's board of directors. As a result of this provision, the authorized number of shares available under the 2021 Plan was increased by 1,299,680 and 1,294,725 on January 1, 2024 and 2023, respectively, bringing the aggregate authorized number of shares available under the 2021 Plan to 7,355,971 and 6,056,291 on January 1, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company may issue new shares or reissue treasury shares for stock option exercises and restricted stock grants. Generally, stock options have 10 -year terms and vest 25 % each year either annually or quarterly, over a 4 -year period and restricted stock awards and units vest 25 % each year annually over a 4 -year period.
 The Company did no t grant any options with exercise prices less than the then current market value during 2024 or 2023.
 The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes it as expense over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock award using the straight-line method. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation has been included in the same lines as compensation paid to the same employees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 Stock-based compensation expense was included in the following operating expense categories:

 2024

 2023

 $

 $

 Total stock-based compensation

 $

 1,707

 $

 2,393

 Stock-based compensation expense as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, varies from the reported Stock-based compensation from options and restricted stock, net of forfeitures in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the year ended December 31, 2023, because of a reclassification of a $ 0.8 million payment owed to a former employee in connection with the Sonar acquisition. This payment was to be made, at the Company's election, in any mix of cash or restricted stock. The Company had previously determined its intent and ability to settle this obligation in restricted stock; however, in December 2023, the Company chose to settle in cash, resulting in a reclassification of this payment obligation from Additional paid-in capital to Other accrued expenses and current liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Balance Sheets. This caused a decrease to Stock-based compensation from options and restricted stock, net of forfeitures in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, with no corresponding decrease in stock-based compensation as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the per share fair value of stock option grants with time-based vesting. The Black-Scholes model relies on a number of key assumptions to calculate estimated fair values. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the expected life of each award granted was determined based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to contractual terms, anticipated exercise patterns, and vesting schedules. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility levels of the Company's Class B common stock and the expected volatility of companies in similar industries that have similar vesting and contractual terms. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with terms approximately equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses an expected annual dividend yield in consideration of the Company's common stock dividend payments, which we consider to be zero.
 The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of time-vested stock options granted for the periods indicated:

 2024

 2023

 Expected life (in years)

 4.00 - 6.25

 4.00 - 6.25

 Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are generally measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of awards granted and the quoted price of the Company's common stock. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period, as applicable, and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Restricted stock units entitle the holder to receive one share of the Company's Class B common stock upon satisfaction of certain service conditions. As of December 31, 2024, there was $ 0.3 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock. These costs are expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.08 years.

 Note 7: Net Loss Per Share
 The Company computes net loss per share of Class A and Class B common stock using the two class method. Under the provisions of the two class method, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The computation of the diluted net loss per share of Class B common stock assumes the conversion of Class A common stock to Class B common stock, while the diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.

 Note 9: Leases
 The Company has operating leases for its corporate office headquarters in Seattle, Washington, and office space in Wichita, Kansas. The Company recognizes its operating lease agreements in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term with any lease incentives amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the lease term. Assets under operating leases are included in Right-of-use lease assets, and the related liabilities are included in Operating lease liability, current and Operating lease liability, non-current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 Assets under finance leases, which primarily represent computer equipment, are subject to a rental agreement for a third-party's utilization of this equipment; however, we retain our primary obligation under the original financing terms. Therefore, the Company does not have a right-of-use asset, but it does carry the lease liability related to this financed equipment, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The present value of the rent receivable from the rental agreement is included in Other assets, net, and the related lease liability is included in Other accrued expenses and current liabilities and Finance lease liability, non-current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 Contingencies
 The Company from time to time is a party to disputes and legal and administrative proceedings arising from the ordinary course of business. We could become in the future subject to legal proceedings, governmental investigations, and claims in the ordinary course of business, including employment claims, contract-related claims, and claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could force us to expend significant financial and managerial resources and could be material. See (p) Guarantees section of Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
 In certain agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnification provisions of varying scope and terms with customers, vendors and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company's breach of agreements or representations and warranties made by the Company, services to be provided by the Company and intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. As a result of these provisions, the Company may from time to time provide certain levels of financial support to contract parties to seek to minimize the impact of any associated litigation in which they may be involved. To date, there have been no known events or circumstances that have resulted in any material costs related to these indemnification provisions and no liabilities therefore have been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the maximum potential amount of the future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions could be material.

 On October 21, 2022, the Shareholder Representatives for the former shareholders of Telmetrics, Inc. (an entity acquired by the Company in 2018) filed litigation against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The plaintiffs are asserting claims under a share purchase agreement and escrow agreement regarding entitlement to an earnout of up to $ 3.0 million and $ 1.0 million that was placed in escrow to secure indemnification obligations. On March 22, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint also seeking substantial punitive damages, followed by a second amended complaint on May 9, 2023. On February 2, 2024, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation advising the U.S. District Court Judge to dismiss certain claims from the second amended complaint and to allow other claims to proceed to discovery. On July 17, 2024, the U.S. District Court Judge adopted portions of the Magistrate Judge's recommendation. The parties have begun discovery. While we believe we have meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and are vigorously defending against it, litigation is inherently uncertain and we cannot currently predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.
 While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims which are pending that the Company believes, based on current knowledge, will have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 As of December 31, 2024, the Company's federal and state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards were approximately $ 179.8 million and $ 60.1 million, respectively. Of the total federal NOL carryforwards reported, we have accumulated $ 56.7 million with an indefinite life as of December 31, 2024. The remaining federal and state NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2027 and 2028, respectively, for income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's federal research and development credit carryforwards were $ 6.5 million, which will begin to expire in 2029.
 The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the use of NOL and tax credit carryforwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. The Company is not aware that any such change has occurred related to these specific tax attributes, or that the utilization of the carryforwards is limited such that these NOL or tax credit carryforwards will likely never be utilized. Accordingly, the Company has included these federal NOL and tax credit carryforwards in its deferred tax assets (subject to valuation allowance).
 The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for stock-based compensation recorded on unexercised non-qualified stock options and certain restricted shares and restricted share units. The ultimate realization of this asset is dependent upon the fair value of the Company's stock when the options are exercised and when restricted shares or restricted share units vest, and generation of sufficient taxable income to realize the benefit of the related tax deduction.
 The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act contained a provision which requires the capitalization of Section 174 costs incurred in years beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Section 174 costs are expenditures which represent research and development costs that are incident to the development or improvement of a product, process, formula, invention, computer software, or technique. This provision changes the treatment of Section 174 costs such that the expenditures are no longer allowed as an immediate deduction but rather must be capitalized and amortized.

 The Company regularly reviews deferred tax assets to assess whether it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be realized and, if necessary, establishes a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value. In assessing whether it is more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets will be realized, factors considered included: historical taxable income, historical trends related to customer usage rates, projected revenues and expenses, macroeconomic conditions, issues facing the industry, existing contracts, the Company's ability to project future results and any appreciation of its other assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. The Company considered the future reversal of deferred tax liabilities, carryback potential, projected taxable income, and tax planning strategies as well as its history of taxable income or losses in the relevant jurisdictions in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable losses and the uncertainty of projections for future taxable income over the periods for which the deferred tax assets are deductible, with the exception of certain insignificant foreign deferred tax assets, the Company concluded that it is not more likely than not that the gross deferred tax assets will be realized and, accordingly, recorded 100 % valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023.
 From time to time, various state, federal and other jurisdictional tax authorities undertake audits of the Company and its filings. In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company on occasion accrues charges for uncertain positions. Resolution of uncertain tax positions will impact the Company's effective tax rate when settled. The Company does not have any significant accruals for uncertain tax positions including interest or penalties. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of contingency provisions and changes to contingencies that are considered appropriate. The Company files U.S. federal, certain U.S. states, and certain foreign tax returns. Generally, U.S. federal, U.S. state, and foreign tax returns filed for years after 2013 are within the statute of limitations and are subject to review and adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service.

 Note 11: Identifiable Intangible Assets from Acquisitions
 Intangible assets from acquisitions represent customer relationships, acquired technology, non-competition agreements, and trade names.

 ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer has concluded that, as of the date of the evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 Management of Marchex, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(c). In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.

 Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 In addition, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
