Intelligent Systems Announces First Quarter 2015 Results
NORCROSS, Ga., May 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Systems Corporation (NYSE MKT:INS) (www.intelsys.com) announced today its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2015.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2015, the company recorded net income attributable to Intelligent Systems Corporation of $18,296,000 ($2.04 per basic share and $2.03 per diluted share), compared to net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems of $586,000 ($0.07 per basic and diluted share) in the first quarter of 2014. The dramatic change between periods reflects the gain on sale of the company's former ChemFree subsidiary, amounting to $18,746,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
As previously announced, the company sold its ChemFree subsidiary on March 31, 2015 for a purchase price of $21,600,000 in an all cash transaction. In accordance with accounting standards, the ChemFree operations have been retroactively classified as discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 and the assets and liabilities associated with the ChemFree business are presented on the balance sheet as single line items titled assets and liabilities from discontinued operations. The company's cash balance at March 31, 2015 was $20,750,000, not including an aggregate of $3,100,000 in restricted cash related to certain escrow conditions of the ChemFree sale. Total stockholders' equity increased to $24,653,000 at March 31, 2015 compared to $6,578,000 at December 31, 2014.
On April 22, 2015, the company commenced a modified "Dutch" auction tender offer to purchase for cash shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of no more than $5,000,000. The tender offer, which expires on May 19, 2015, will be funded by part of the proceeds from the ChemFree sale.
"I have often commented in the past that shareholders or prospective investors should not assume the current quarter results reflect a trend (either good or bad) and that our GAAP reported revenue is not necessarily indicative of and often lags behind the underlying progress in CoreCard's business," stated J. Leland Strange, CEO and President. "This quarter, however, I can say unequivocally that we will not have another quarter when we report net income of over $18 million anytime soon! On a going forward basis we intend to focus primarily on growing the CoreCard business. We believe we are positioned well to steadily increase revenue year over year, although quarterly results will remain uneven."
The company intends to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today, May 15, 2015. For additional information about reported results, investors will be able to access the Form 10-Q on the company's website at www.intelsys.com or on the SEC site, www.sec.gov.
