INS Intelligent Systems Corporation

Intelligent Systems Corporation (NYSE MKT:INS) announced today its financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016. 

Revenue was $1,550,000 and $3,196,000 in the three and six month periods of 2016, respectively, representing growth of 28 percent and 40 percent, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015.  The growth is attributable to an increase in the number of accounts covered by certain software licenses, an increase in our processing services customer base and an upswing in our professional services. 

For the three month period ended June 30, 2016, the company recorded net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems of $217,000 ($0.02 per basic and diluted share) compared to net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems of $793,000 ($0.09 per basic and diluted share) in the second quarter of 2015. The strong revenue growth for the quarter coupled with a substantial decrease in operating expenses, due in part to higher one-time G&A expenditures in the prior year, resulted in a significantly lower loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period last year.

For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2016, the company recorded net loss  attributable to Intelligent Systems Corporation of $1,155,000  ($0.13 per basic and diluted share), compared to net income attributable to Intelligent Systems of $17,504,000 ($1.97 per basic share and $1.95 per diluted share) in the six month period in 2015. The dramatic change between periods reflects the gain of $18,726,000 on the sale of the company’s former ChemFree subsidiary in the year-to-date period in 2015.  As previously announced, the company sold its ChemFree subsidiary on March 31, 2015 and consequently has classified the ChemFree business as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

“We continue to see gains in all three components of our FinTech focused businesses – licensing, processing, and professional services. The gains are coming both from our innovative prepaid solutions and our rich credit software offerings,” commented J. Leland Strange, CEO of Intelligent Systems. “We are fairly comfortable that the second half of 2016 will be significantly stronger than the first half as we recognize revenue from work done throughout the year. While the expenses of being a public company will impact operating results and may result in an overall loss, I believe the CoreCard operations have turned the corner and will be profitable for the year.”
