NORCROSS, Ga., May 09, 2017 -- Intelligent Systems Corporation (NYSE MKT:INS) (www.intelsys.com) announced today its financial results for the first quarter of 2017 ended March 31, 2017.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the company recorded revenue of $1,752,000, a six percent increase compared to the same period in 2016. The growth is primarily attributable to an increase in the volume of transaction processing services and software maintenance and support services.
The company reported a loss from operations of $498,000 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to a loss from operations of $361,000 in the first quarter of 2016. The current period results reflect a 22 percent increase in Research and Development costs compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in technical staff and resources added over the past 12 months to further expand the features and functionality of the company’s technology platform and applications.
The company reported net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems Corporation of $465,000 (loss of $0.05 per basic and diluted share) in the first quarter of 2017 compared to net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems Corporation of $937,000 (loss of $0.11 per basic and diluted share) in the first quarter of 2016. Impacting the prior year results is a non-cash charge of $700,000 included in the line item Other Income (Loss) to reduce the carrying value of a technology company investment in which the company owns a minority equity stake.
“Last year in the 1st Quarter press release, I mentioned we had grown our workforce to nearly 250 employees,” stated J. Leland Strange, Chief Executive Officer. “This year (as of the 1st Quarter) we have approximately 295 employees so we continue to expand to be able to support the business coming our way. The opportunities to be the ‘system of record’ for evolving FinTech businesses is driving our need to continue with R&D investments to stay ahead of our competition. CoreCard offers a unique combination of flexible transaction processing benefits that is adaptable worldwide.”
The company intends to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today, May 9, 2017. For additional information about reported results, investors will be able to access the Form 10-Q on the company’s website at www.intelsys.com or on the SEC site, www.sec.gov.
