"Marchex made significant progress throughout 2004," said Russell C. Horowitz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to delivering strong financial results, Marchex continued to build on its foundation for the future by accomplishing several important objectives during the course of 2004."
2004 company milestones included the following:
-- Developed Comprehensive Search Marketing Services and Distribution Platform. Marchex has developed a search marketing services platform that includes pay-per-click, feed management, advertising campaign management and search engine optimization services. This technology platform allows an online merchant to sell their products or services through multiple online search channels, including search and directory, product shopping and direct navigation.
-- Established a Position in Local Search Monetization. Marchex believes that it is among the leaders in enabling the monetization of local search through outsourcing its search marketing services platform to large aggregators of local merchants, including yellow page companies and others.
-- Established a Position in Direct Navigation. Upon the anticipated completion of the Name Development Ltd. asset acquisition, Marchex believes that it will be among the leaders in the direct navigation market with an established primary source of organic online user traffic of more than 17 million unique monthly visitors as of November 2004. The addition of Name Development's assets will create opportunities for Marchex's merchant advertisers to acquire more customers on a targeted basis.
-- Completed Initial Public Offering. Marchex reached an important milestone by successfully completing its initial public offering in April 2004.
Strategic Alliance
Marchex also announced that in connection with the closing of the Name Development asset acquisition and in furtherance of its overall strategic alliance with Overture Services, Inc. ("Overture"), Marchex intends to enter into (i) a new master agreement with Overture with respect to Marchex's direct navigation business, and (ii) a license agreement with Overture with respect to certain of Overture's patents, including but not limited to U.S. Patent No. 6,269,361, pursuant to which Marchex will pay $4,500,000 in an upfront payment (and an additional $674,000 in certain circumstances) and a royalty based on certain percentages of certain of Marchex's gross revenues payable on a quarterly basis through December 2016, which royalty amount is currently estimated to be between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 in aggregate for 2005.
"As Marchex continues to grow, we look forward to building on our relationships with various strategic partners," Horowitz added. "We finished 2004 on a strong strategic and financial note and reflecting this, we look forward to sharing additional specifics as well as our updated financial outlook in our upcoming conference call."
Business Outlook and Conference Call
Marchex anticipates scheduling a conference call during the week of February 14, 2005 to discuss its fourth quarter 2004 and 2004 fiscal year end results, to provide updates on the anticipated closing of the proposed financing and the Name Development asset acquisition and to provide an overview of its 2005 business outlook.
