PLANO, Texas, August 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ: INTZ), a leader in cyberattack prevention solutions, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Recent Financial & Business Highlights:
| · | Second quarter revenue of $1.5 million was up $0.2 million sequentially or 12%. |
| · | Gross margin increased to 79% during the second quarter, an increase of 2.4% sequentially. |
| · | Successfully implemented cost reduction measures resulting in $1.5 million in second quarter savings |
| · | Improved second quarter EPS of $(0.15) per share from $(0.22) per share in the first quarter 2023. |
"The second quarter of 2023 was a period of continued progress toward growing our INTRUSION Shield revenue, gaining traction across our suite of value-added products, and improving our financial flexibility to support our growth objectives,” said Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion. “Our team has been working hard, and we are beginning to see the early-stage financial performance benefits of our improved sales and marketing efforts. As we look toward the second half of the year, we anticipate additional growth in both INTRUSION Shield and our Consulting business as a result of new bookings in the second and early third quarters. We are also encouraged by the volume and nature of discussions we are having within our qualified pipeline as the demand for our products and consulting services continues to grow. This positions us well to improve our revenue and booking performance as more customers seek better and more cost-effective cybersecurity solutions for their enterprises.”
Mr. Scott continued, “We have taken broad steps toward reducing our cash burn and providing the capital necessary to execute our business plan. The cost reduction efforts we implemented in late March contributed $1.5 million in cost savings during the June quarter. Last week, we filed an initial S-1 registration statement to raise up to $8.5 million from the sale of common stock and warrants. We believe these combined actions, along with the recent restructuring of our debt with Streeterville, will provide the resources needed to fund our growth objectives and financial commitments.”
Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $1.5 million, an increase of $0.2 million sequentially and a decrease of $0.6 million compared with the second quarter of the prior year.
The gross profit margin was 79% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 76% in the March 2023 quarter and 56% in the second quarter of 2022.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2023 were $4.1 million, a decrease from $5.1 million in the comparable quarter of last year.
The net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $(3.1) million, or $(0.15) per share, compared to a loss of $(4.1) million, or $(0.21) per share for the second quarter of 2022.
As of June 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $0.3 million, down from $3.0 million on December 31, 2022. Subsequent to the quarter end, we entered into a Forbearance and Standstill Agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC to extend the maturity date for each of our two convertible notes by 12 months to September 10, 2024, and December 29, 2024.
