Intrusion Shield gaining traction

PLANO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2023 / Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ:INTZ), a leader in cyberattack prevention solutions, announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Recent Financial & Business Highlights:

• Improved third quarter EPS to $(0.14) per share from $(0.15) per share in the second quarter 2023.
• Announced the award of a $5 million agreement with a large telecommunications company to provide Intrusion Shield support for its data centers.
• Announced a Securities Purchase Agreement though a Private Offering resulted in net proceeds of approximately $2.4 million.

"During the third quarter, we made great progress toward growing our business and overcoming our short-term liquidity issues," said Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion. "We continued to see promising signs that our go-to-market strategy for Intrusion Shield with our partners is working, which is evident by our recent $5 million multi-year Shield agreement with a large telecommunications provider, as well as the booking of four other new contracts across a diverse range of industries, which are all expected to grow over time. Our sales pipeline continues to remain solid, as we are seeing a growing demand for both our Shield family of products and our Consulting business due to customers continuing to seek better and more cost-effective cybersecurity solutions for their enterprises. This gives us confidence that we are well positioned to improve our revenue and booking performance in future periods."

Mr. Scott continued, "Last week, we announced that we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement through a Private Offering, through which we received net proceeds of approximately $2.4 million. The Private Offering was heavily participated in by members of our Executive Team, Board of Directors, and existing shareholders, which we believe demonstrates the confidence that both our organization and shareholders have in our unique technology. In addition to the Private Offering, we also agreed to exchange $0.4 million aggregate principal of our Streeterville Capital debt for an aggregate of approximately one million shares of common stock. We believe that these combined efforts will provide us with the liquidity and runway needed to execute our strategy to grow the business."

Third Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $1.5 million, a decrease of $0.7 million compared with the third quarter of the prior year. The decrease resulted from the loss of a contract in the fourth quarter of 2022 in which Intrusion's prime sponsor chose not to renew the final option year of a contract. While the loss of this contract significantly impacted top-line revenue, the gross margin on this contract was 14% and, as a result, had a marginal impact on profitability.

The gross profit margin was 78% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 55% in the third quarter of 2022.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were $3.8 million, a decrease from $5.0 million in the comparable quarter of last year.

The net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was $(3.2) million, or $(0.14) per share, compared to a loss of $(2.9) million, or $(0.15) per share for the third quarter of 2022.

As of September 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $0.2 million, down from $3.0 million on December 31, 2022. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company received approximately $2.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of 4.4 million shares of common stock and warrants in a private offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital, general corporate purposes, and the potential partial repayment of outstanding indebtedness to Streeterville Capital, LLC.
