Insights

Financial Analyst

Intrusion's Q4 results show incremental progress amid substantial financial challenges for this micro-cap cybersecurity firm. The $1.7 million Q4 revenue represents the third consecutive quarter of sequential growth (+11%), driven by the Department of Defense contract combining Shield technology and consulting services. However, the full-year revenue of just $5.8 million (+$0.2M year-over-year) illustrates the company's struggle to achieve meaningful scale.

The most significant development is Intrusion's balance sheet transformation. Through multiple capital transactions, the company raised $14.5 million and eliminated $10.1 million in Series A Preferred Stock. This financial restructuring has increased cash reserves to $4.9 million at year-end plus $9.2 million in January 2025 proceeds – giving Intrusion substantially improved runway to pursue growth opportunities.

Cost discipline is evident with operating expenses down $3.5 million year-over-year to $12.9 million. This contributed to narrowing the annual net loss to $(7.8) million from $(13.9) million in 2023. However, with quarterly cash burn still exceeding $1.9 million, the path to profitability remains challenging despite the improved liquidity position.

The 20 new Intrusion Shield logos in 2024 represent modest customer acquisition for a company needing substantially accelerated growth. While the DoD contract provides validation, Intrusion must significantly expand its commercial penetration to justify its cybersecurity platform investments. The slight margin compression to 75% in Q4 (from 79% year-ago) bears monitoring as product mix evolves.

These capital-raising activities, while necessary for survival, have come at the cost of substantial shareholder dilution, as evidenced by the improved per-share metrics despite similar absolute losses. Intrusion's $20.7 million market cap reflects persistent investor skepticism about the company's ability to achieve meaningful scale in the highly competitive cybersecurity market.

Recent balance sheet actions position the Company for future growth

PLANO, TX / ACCESS Newswire / February 27, 2025 / Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ:INTZ) ("Intrusion" or the "Company"), a leader in cyberattack prevention solutions, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Recent Financial & Business Highlights:

Looking ahead to 2025, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead of us, and it is our belief that we have only scratched the surface of our potential, as our customer base and pipeline continue to grow amid the rising demand for cybersecurity solutions."
