Insights

Intrusion Inc. has shown a significant improvement in its financial position compared to the same quarter last year. The EPS improvement from -4.49 to -0.94 per share is noteworthy. The reduction in operating expenses from 5.0 million to 3.4 million indicates better cost management. However, the decrease in revenue to 1.1 million needs to be scrutinized, particularly given that it was driven by a delay in federal budget approval, which could be a one-off event.

The fact that Intrusion has regained Nasdaq compliance is a positive sign for market confidence, ensuring continued access to capital markets. The 2.6 million raised through a private offering and an additional 0.6 million from warrant inducement are essential for working capital needs. Though the current cash position as of May stands at 2.4 million, it’s imperative to monitor how effectively these funds are utilized going forward.

For retail investors, the main takeaway here is that while the company is showing signs of recovery and strategic growth, the cash position remains precarious. Short-term gains are evident, but long-term sustainability still hinges on revenue growth and continued financial discipline.

The expansion of the Intrusion Shield customer base is a promising development, especially with the partnership with iOne Resources, which could bring in over 1 million in ARR by the second half of 2024. Also, the acquisition of a minority stake in Klever AI indicates strategic intent to enhance technology and market penetration. These moves are aimed at broadening Intrusion’s foothold in multiple industries.

However, the decline in consulting revenue due to federal budget delays could be a red flag. Investors need to recognize the dependency on such external factors which can affect quarterly performance. The announcement of partnerships with TIM and Orca Cold Chain Solutions underscores a strategic emphasis on supply chain security, a important area in today's cyber threat landscape.

From a market perspective, these initiatives are aligned with the increasing demand for robust cybersecurity solutions, positioning Intrusion favorably for long-term growth. Retail investors should view these partnerships as a solid foundation for potential future revenue streams but remain cautious about the company's ability to convert these into tangible financial gains consistently.

Intrusion Shield customer penetration continues to expand

PLANO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2024 / Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ:INTZ), a leader in cyberattack prevention solutions, announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Recent Financial & Business Highlights:

  • Improved first quarter EPS to $(0.94) per share from $(4.49) per share in the first quarter of 2023.
  • In partnership with iOne Resources, announced a notice of award to supply the Secure Electronic Transmission Services (SETs) for the 2025 Philippines midterm elections.
  • Partnered with Total Information Management Corporation (TIM) to provide advanced threat detection and prevention solutions to Orca Cold Chain Solutions to enhance supply chain security.
  • Acquired a minority stake in Klever AI to help improve Intrusion Shield technology and broaden customer penetration into multiple industries.
  • Regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price and equity standard requirements.

First Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.1 million, a decrease of $0.2 million on both a sequential and year-over-year basis. The decline in revenue during the first quarter of 2024 was driven by a decrease in consulting revenue that was mainly associated with the federal budget not being approved until the end of the first quarter, which hindered the timing of new contract awards.

The gross profit margin was 80% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 76% in the first quarter of 2023.

Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2024 were $3.4 million, a decrease from $5.0 million in the comparable quarter of last year.

The net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $(1.7) million, or $(0.94) per share, compared to a net loss of $(4.7) million, or $(4.49) per share for the first quarter of 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $0.1 million. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Intrusion entered into a private placement subscription agreement pursuant to which the Company sold to purchasers in a Private Offering 1.3 million shares of its common stock each of which is coupled with a warrant to purchase two shares of common stock at an aggregate offering price of $1.95 per share. The Private Offering resulted in net proceeds to Intrusion of $2.6 million. Also subsequent to March 31st, Intrusion sold 0.2 million shares of common stock through a warrant inducement offering resulting in $0.6 million in net proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. The cash balance as of May 10, 2024 was $2.4 million.

"During the first quarter, we continued to make progress toward growing our Intrusion Shield customer base as we build on the strong momentum we experienced at the end of 2023," said Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion. "Our robust Shield partnerships have continued to benefit our business, which is evident by the announcement that we made recently with iOne Resources, where Intrusion's technology will be a part of a $25 million award to help protect the cybersecurity and integrity of the midterm elections in the Philippines, with the award creating over $1 million in ARR for our Shield business in the second half of 2024. This partnership, along with our other recently announced customer wins, highlights the success we have been achieving through our go-to-market strategy for our compelling and innovative strategies that provide customers with the tools they need to better identify, deflect, and eliminate any cyber threats they may encounter."

Mr. Scott continued, "Over the past several weeks, we have also successfully been able to complete the final stages of our strategic plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum listing requirements with the announcement of our most recent Private Offering and converting $9.5 million of our senior debt to equity. Both of which helped us achieve the minimum equity standard required to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Markets. Looking ahead, we continue to remain focused on ensuring we have the funds we need to not only propel our growth but also satisfy our customers' needs with cost-effective cybersecurity solutions for their enterprise."
