INS Intelligent Systems Corporation New

Intelligent Systems Corporation [NYSE American: INS; www.intelsys.com] announced today its preliminary financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. 

Leland Strange, President and CEO stated “As we did last quarter, we want to, where practical, let our shareholders know as soon as we know how the company performed in the previous quarter. We are pleased to report preliminary second quarter 2019 revenues of approximately $7.5 million and preliminary income from operations of $2.5 to $2.7 million. Both numbers are significantly higher than the same period a year ago. Those numbers do indicate a slight percentage operating margin erosion from first quarter 2019 as a result of an increase in legal and advisory expenses as well as some employee bonuses that recognize the extraordinary effort of some of our employees in our push to get ready for a large license deployment.”

“My standard earnings boiler plate is applicable as I reiterate that license revenue and/or other revenue sources are likely to vary considerably from quarter to quarter.  We want to provide our shareholders insight on the revenue streams but don’t be surprised when any one of the revenue sources spike, show a decrease, or do not show growth in a specific quarter as we focus on annual results with no attempt to align for quarterly comparisons. We will comment further when we present final numbers and hold our earnings conference call.  We continue to believe 2019 will be a very good year for the company,” stated Strange.

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2019

Total revenues are expected to be $7,512,000 for the quarter compared to revenue of $4,573,000 in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 64 percent.
