Insights

Financial Analyst

Intrusion Inc.'s Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. The 29% sequential revenue increase to $1.5 million and 18% improvement in operating loss are positive indicators. However, the company still reports a net loss of $(2.1) million, or $(0.53) per share. The 76% gross profit margin is solid but slightly down from last year's 78%.

The new government contract for Shield technology is promising, potentially opening doors for future growth. However, with only $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, the recent private placement and warrant inducement offering were important for short-term liquidity. The company's focus on improving financial flexibility suggests ongoing cash flow concerns.

Cybersecurity Expert

Intrusion's expansion in the government sector with a new Shield contract is a significant milestone. Government adoption often serves as a strong validation for cybersecurity solutions, potentially attracting more enterprise customers. The company's strategy of targeting diverse industries is sound, as cybersecurity needs are universal.

However, the modest revenue figures suggest Intrusion is still in its growth phase, facing stiff competition in a crowded market. The appointment of Dion Hinchcliffe to the board could bring valuable insights into next-generation enterprise needs, potentially guiding product development and market positioning strategies. The challenge lies in translating these opportunities into substantial revenue growth and profitability.

Intrusion Shield customer penetration continues to expand

PLANO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2024 / Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ:INTZ), a leader in cyberattack prevention solutions, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"Our ongoing efforts delivered a twenty-nine percent improvement in sequential revenue during the second quarter as our cybersecurity solutions and innovative strategies continue to gain traction with customers across a wide range of industries," said Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion. "These successes include the expansion of our government sector customer base, where we have been awarded a new order for Intrusion Shield which marked an important milestone as this was the first large scale adoption of our Shield technology with government customers.

Mr. Scott continued, "During the quarter, we also completed two financing efforts that helped improve the strength of our balance sheet. We are continuing to work closely with our financial partners to enhance our financial flexibility, which will allow us to be more strategic with how we access and deploy capital to support our future business operations. As we look forward to the second half of 2024, our focus continues to remain on driving sales volume and ensuring that we have the funds we need to execute our mission to provide customers with cost-effective cybersecurity solutions for their enterprise."

Second Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $1.5 million, an increase of 29% on a sequential basis. The sequential increase in revenue during the second quarter of 2024 was driven by the recent award of a large government contract for the use of both Intrusion Shield technology and Consulting services.

The gross profit margin was 76% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 78% in the second quarter of 2023. Gross margin will vary based on product mix.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were $3.1 million, a decrease of $0.2 million sequentially and $0.9 million from the comparable quarter of last year.

The net loss from operating activities for the second quarter of 2024 was $(2.0) million, representing a $0.4 million or 18% improvement over the first quarter and $0.9 million or 30% improvement on a year-over-year basis. The improvement over the first quarter was driven by both gross profit on higher revenues and a decrease in operating expenses.

The net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $(2.1) million, or $(0.53) per share, compared to a net loss of $(3.1) million, or $(2.92) per share for the second quarter of 2023.
