Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
The initiatives I've outlined will enable us to grow at rates that meet this demand over time and deliver a compelling margin profile to the business
This asset is a powerful differentiator, and it holds incredible value for businesses, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to individual service providers
I've been on the job for 275 days and we are well on our way to positioning Marchex for long-term success
Creating a stable, efficient data pipeline will arm us with the power unleash deeper and more meaningful insights at a scale we've never seen before
We continue to advance our technology in order to deliver new and powerful value creation for customers and prospects, and we are building out a world-class team to tackle the robust market opportunities in front of us
These efforts will enable our clients to deliver great customer experiences while allowing us to expand our API capabilities, which we are continually working to improve as part of our integration initiatives
Furthermore, I’m pleased to share to share that our progress has enabled us to achieve profitability sooner than expected
Given the increased efficiency, we also see these moves as leading to the potential for significant margin improvement in the business over time
The possibilities in helping businesses to understand and meet the emotions of the customers they engage in business will help sales close rates and we believe will drastically improve the customer experience
We've achieved profitability earlier than planned and put in place a series of initiatives that will enhance the profitability profile of the business well into the future
We are seizing on this momentum and the big opportunity in front of us, and that is to increase our leadership in the conversational intelligence market
Marchex has a significant advantage in several verticals as we have industry-leading customers with multiyear contracts who are asking us for more
We believe this to be an essential step towards accelerating growth and building a nine-figure revenue business in the future
This will help us create new relationships in the coming quarters within our selected vertical markets as well as accelerate sales growth through our go-to-market motions and product marketing strategy
We strongly believe that the vertical position is the best place to be within the AI market
They can help our customers foster better relationships with their consumers and drive meaningful rough revenue growth
That should enable an overall improvement with our service cost margin as we sell through our new conversational intelligence products and advance our vertical market initiatives
Furthermore, our current initiative to move to one data pipe and other cost savings initiatives, in tandem with expected future revenue growth initiatives should enable greater operating leverage in the business
In addition, we continue to believe that our traction within the automotive vertical can lead to double-digit growth on an annualized run rate year-over-year basis by the end of 2023 within that vertical
I'm excited about where we are and also where we're headed
It's giving momentum in the part for us because it's driving industry-needed change to be able to deal with the critical challenges of an electric vehicle world
Further, we have a path to growing a sustainable and increasingly profitable business
Our future is to continue toward one data pipe, one step, one Marchex culture, advanced AI math models tailored to our vertical market clients, advanced data analytics and creating more AI signals that will allow our clients to derive an end-to-end view of a lead to the client as well as improving the overall client experience
We've got some very deep and strong relationships with OEMs in the auto vertical
And so understanding the summary of a call and the sentiment of the call and getting ahead of that and being able to foster intelligent conversations at the dealership level and for our large OEMs is powerful
So I hope that helps, but we're excited about the EV, but we're also excited about all the verticals and the commonality of the needs against the verticals we serve
Our ability to win new relationships and extend others into multiyear terms has contributed to Marchex's expanding footprint in this vertical
I'm pleased to share our progress with you during this period of transformation
Its possibilities to continue transforming the conversational intelligence market represent a significant and growing opportunity as AI continues to evolve
Just as importantly, we have an underlying data asset that makes the company truly unique with lots of value to unlock in many ways to do so
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
This was down from the prior comparative period, in large part as a result of the reorganizing initiatives
GAAP net loss was $1.5 million for the third quarter or $0.04 per diluted share
This compares to a loss of $1.6 million or $0.04 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2022
Adjusted non-GAAP loss was $0.01 per share for the third quarter compared to a loss of $0.01 per share for the third quarter of 2022
There is a seasonal adjustment that does start in the latter part of September, but the heavier part of the downward trend in the fourth quarter is generally around that holiday time frame
Usually, the downward trend is primarily in the November, December time frame, around the holidays, starting more heavily in the holiday time frame
While the fourth quarter has historical seasonal downward volume trend and there are some headwinds in certain verticals previously mentioned, we believe those factors should be offset by the growth driven by new customer adoption and the onboarding of previously won relationship over the course of the year
