Intelligent Systems Announces Third Quarter and YTD Results

NORCROSS, Ga., Nov. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Systems Corporation (NYSE MKT:INS) (www.intelsys.com) announced today its financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2013, net income was $585,000 ($0.07 per basic and diluted share) compared to net income of $230,000 ($0.03 per basic and diluted share) in the third quarter of 2012. Total revenue in the third quarter of 2013 was $4,574,000, twelve percent higher than revenue of $4,075,000 recorded in the same quarter of 2012.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, net income was $1,141,000 ($0.13 per basic and diluted share) compared to net income of $225,000 ($0.03 per basic and diluted share) in the comparable period in 2012. Total revenue for the nine month period in 2013 was $12,826,000, five percent higher than revenue of $12,201,000 in the first nine months of 2012.

J. Leland Strange, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our ChemFree subsidiary had another profitable quarter and year-to-date period, with strong domestic sales of its SmartWasher® machine fueled by an unusually large order that was shipped in the third quarter of 2013, which offset in part an expected decline in revenue from leased equipment. In the third quarter, ChemFree's first shipments of its new SmartWasher 37 model, a mobile, high capacity bioremediating parts cleaner, were well received by customers."

"In the quarter and year-to-date periods in 2013, our CoreCard subsidiary reported growth in both software license and services revenue, including more than doubling revenue from its transaction processing services as it steadily builds this new line of business," said Strange. "We continue to focus on developing and supporting the CoreCard® suite of products used by both our licensed customers and our processing operations to manage prepaid, fleet, and private label cards as well as revolving loans and accounts receivable."

As the Company has frequently cautioned, financial results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and at the present time are not predictable with a reasonable degree of certainty due to a number of factors, such as the timing and scope of software projects, customers' business growth and internal priorities, and accounting treatment for certain contracts that defers revenue recognition over an extended period of time. Presently management does not expect to post similar positive results in the fourth quarter of 2013 as in the third quarter of 2013 although it does expect a profitable year for fiscal 2013.

Investors should review our Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013 and our 2012 Form 10-K for an understanding of the risks and uncertainties associated with our businesses. A copy of the current Form 10-Q will be filed with the Securities Exchange Commission today and available at www.sec.gov or www.intelsys.com.
