Intelligent Systems Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results
NORCROSS, Ga., Nov. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Systems Corporation [NYSE American: INS], the leading provider of innovative credit technology solutions and processing services to the financial technology and services market, announced today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
“Third-quarter results were a little better than we expected, specifically for license revenue, and demonstrated the continued resilience of our business, our strong financial position, and our unique product offering,” said Leland Strange, CEO of Intelligent Systems. “We recorded revenues of $10.3 million, representing an 8% increase over the prior-year period. While professional services and processing and maintenance primarily drove the year-over-year revenue increase, we also received additional license revenue in the quarter due to customers achieving a new tier.
“During the quarter we substantially completed the anticipated investments in our infrastructure needed to ensure CoreCard exceeds current and future customer needs. These investments will place near-term pressure on margins but are needed to achieve our long-term strategic vision. As we stated earlier in the year, we anticipate these investments will translate to incremental revenue opportunities and drive growth for fiscal 2021 and beyond.”
Mr. Strange continued, “The momentum we built upon in the third quarter reaffirms our optimism for growth in 2021. Given the third quarter 2020 license revenue, we are not anticipating any additional license revenue for the remainder of 2020. As we look into next year, we now expect to receive license revenues in both the first and the second half of the next fiscal year. As we have commented before, it is difficult to project quarter by quarter license revenues. We do believe that the second half license revenue will be much larger than what we report in the first 6 months. I am confident that our unique position, strong management team, and solid financial position will enable us to continue with growth in fiscal 2021 despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
