Intelligent Systems Announces Second Quarter and Year-To-Date 2017 Results

NORCROSS, Ga., Aug. 10, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Systems Corporation [NYSE American:INS] announced today its financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017.

Revenue was $3,136,000 and $4,888,000 in the three and six month periods of 2017, respectively, representing growth of 102 percent and 53 percent, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016.  The growth is attributable to an increase in the number of software licenses, an increase in the volume of transaction processing services and an upswing in our professional services.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2017, the company recorded net income attributable to Intelligent Systems of $203,000 ($0.02 per basic and diluted share) compared to net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems of $217,000 ($0.02 per basic and diluted share) in the second quarter of 2016. The strong revenue growth for the quarter offset, to a lesser degree, by an increase in operating expenses primarily in R&D expenditures, resulted in significantly greater income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period last year.

For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2017, the company recorded net loss  attributable to Intelligent Systems Corporation of $262,000  ($0.03 per basic and diluted share), compared to net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems of $1,155,000 ($0.13 per basic share and diluted share) in the six month period in 2016. The positive change between periods is due to both the revenue growth experienced for the year resulting in a lesser loss from operations year over year and less investment write-downs in 2017 as compared to 2016. Impacting the prior year-to-date period was a non-cash investment write-down charge of $750,000 included in the line item Other Income (Loss) to reduce the carrying value of an investment in a development stage technology company in which the company owned a minority equity stake.

“Revenue increases are usually a good thing and it certainly is in this case,” commented J. Leland Strange, CEO of Intelligent Systems.  “Profits (or less losses) are not always good if the business should be increasing investment in resources in anticipation of greater revenue in the future. At this point for CoreCard, we are constantly trying to balance these competing interests (make a profit or keep investing) amid the larger competitive landscape as well as anticipated new customer engagements. The bottom line from a business growth standpoint is things are good and look good going forward although the bottom line from a profit view will depend on other longer term tactical decisions.”
