Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Description of Business | Description of Business Marchex, Inc. ("Marchex" or the “Company”) harnesses the power of AI and omnichannel 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.
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rule and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The preparation of our Condensed 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, allowance for credit losses, useful lives for property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation of intangible assets, the fair value of stock option awards, the impairment of goodwill, and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Effective | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. In addition, the amendments clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and contains other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standardized categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. ASU 2023-09 may be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, thus it will be effective for our annual reporting period ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. While we are still evaluating the specific impacts of adoption, we anticipate this guidance may have an impact on our annual income tax disclosures but not on our annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition | 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 credit losses, which is included in Accounts receivable, net in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, using its best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in our accounts receivable, to include expected future reductions in customers’ payment obligations related to delivered services. We determine our allowance for credit losses based on analysis of historical bad debts and invoice credits, expected revenue adjustments, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, and current economic trends. The balance associated with the allowance for credit losses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $232.0 thousand and $256.0 thousand as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The revenue recognized but not yet invoiced (unbilled AR) in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $1.5 million as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Customer payments received in advance of revenue recognition are considered contract liabilities and are recorded as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue balance in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, was $1.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024 revenue recognized that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was $0.5 thousand and $0.4 thousand, respectively. 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 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 Condensed 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. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, the Company had $0.3 million and $0.4 million of net deferred contract costs, respectively, and the accumulated amortization associated with these costs was $1.6 million both for the year ended December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Stock-Based Compensation | The Company grants stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units. 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-based award using the straight-line method. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation expense has been included in the same lines as compensation paid to the same employees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
