James F. DeSocio, President & CEO of Intellinetics, stated, “Demand for our SaaS offerings across our organization continues to grow, and the market reception to our IPAS, a new product we have that we believe is our most exciting driver of shareholder value, continues to roll out well. Overall, SaaS revenue grew 13.5% and recurring revenue grew 12.2%, with just a modest, early contribution from IPAS. This progress has given management the confidence to increase developmental efforts to drive IPAS deeper and wider into our existing customer channels. For example, we will be launching a K-12 IPAS pilot this summer. IPAS is saving customers money almost immediately upon implementation, providing a compelling economic return; our reference accounts are happy, and that will drive adoption, which is in its infancy. These are very early days; we believe that IPAS has a very large market opportunity in the long run and is a ‘company maker’ if we execute correctly.”

“The professional services and storage and retrieval services business continues to generate positive contribution margin,” continued DeSocio. “However, we anticipate a long-standing customer, our largest, will take steps to shift certain tasks performed by our document conversion business from one office location to another location in a way that could reduce annual revenue of our document conversion segment, starting in Q4 2024. Our management team believes the total value proposition which we provide our customer is substantial, that the customer understands that the timely and accurate execution of the tasks we perform are extremely important to it, and hence the company intends to educate and negotiate in good faith with the customer to pursue a mutually agreeable outcome.”

“We plan to maintain the storage and retrieval and document conversion (or scanning) business streams, while focusing the majority of our growth-oriented investments in sales, marketing, and research and development into SaaS solutions to accelerate our organic growth in recurring revenue,” added DeSocio. “This is expected to accelerate the trends we have demonstrated for several quarters, with recurring revenue growth outpacing consolidated revenue growth and a more pronounced shift to a SaaS-centric company.”

“As noted in our fourth quarter conference call in March, we prepaid $500,000 of our long-term debt,” continued DeSocio. “We intend to prepay an additional $325,000 of our debt principal this month, which leaves the remaining debt principal balance of approximately $2.1 million due December 31, 2025.”

“Lastly, there was a substantial, $397,901 expense in the first quarter, of which $328,375 was non-cash and $375,231 was one-time, reflecting the accounting treatment of our team’s restricted stock compensation,” concluded DeSocio. “The Board of Directors believes that aligning management and shareholders is an important part of our overall compensation, and my team is highly motivated to create shareholder value.”

Summary – 2024 First Quarter Results

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $4,507,084, an increase of 7.7%, as compared with $4,186,833 for the same period in 2023. This organic increase was driven by an 13.5% increase in SaaS revenue, and a 7.9% increase in professional services fees, partially offset by lower sales of storage and retrieval and modest growth, at 2.4% as expected, in software maintenance services. Recurring revenue grew 12.2% and now represents 61% of total revenue.

Total operating expenses increased 24.2% to $2,934,124, compared to $2,361,840, driven by a $397,901 charge for restricted stock awards, as well as depreciation and amortization expenses (all non-cash expenses, except for $69,525 related to withholding taxes for the restricted stock awards). Loss from operations (inclusive of the restricted stock award charge) was $34,480 compared to income from operations of $283,999 in the first quarter last year.

Intellinetics reported a net loss of $174,714 compared to net income of $112,563 for the same period in 2023. Basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $(0.04), compared to net income per share of $0.03 per basic and fully diluted share for the period ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $673,362 compared to $629,879 in 2023.

2024 Outlook

Based on management's current plans and assumptions, the Company reiterated expectations that it will grow revenues on a year-over-year basis for the fiscal year 2024. Regarding Adjusted EBITDA, the Company is revising its guidance in expectation that Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 will be at or slightly less than 2023 levels.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Intellinetics uses non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of a company.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of our liquidity. Intellinetics urges investors to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP Net Income, which is included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Intellinetics’ financial performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure and is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest expense, any income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, note conversion and note or equity offer warrant or stock expense, gain or loss on debt extinguishment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and transaction costs.

Recurring Revenue: Recognized revenue for any applicable period that we characterize as being recurring in nature, without regard to contract start or end dates or renewal rates. It includes the following revenue types: SaaS subscription agreements, maintenance contracts related to perpetual software licenses, storage and retrieval services, and professional services revenues in the nature of business process outsourcing. It excludes revenues of a type that are not expected to recur, primarily perpetual licenses, most document conversion services, and other professional services that are project based. Recurring revenue is not determined by reference to deferred revenue, unbilled revenue, or any other GAAP financial measure over any period, so the Company has not reconciled the Recurring Revenues to any GAAP measure. Recurring revenue should not be extrapolated into a precise prediction of future revenues, because it does not take into account our contract start and end dates and our renewal rates. Management believes that reviewing this metric, in addition to GAAP results, helps investors and financial analysts understand the value of Intellinetics’ recurring revenue streams versus prior periods.

Note 1 – Software as a service non-recurring revenue is comprised of professional services setup fees which are recognized ratably over the initial contract period. They do not renew, and are therefore non-recurring. Under ASC 606, they are deemed essential to the functionality of the subscription Software as a service, and are therefore recognized together with the subscription Software as a service revenue.

Total Contract Value: Estimated total future revenues from contracts signed during the period. This refers to contracts or projects that have been awarded by our customers, and it presumes the provision of all software, subscription services, and/or professional services, with no termination of any awarded contracts. There can be no guarantee that all work will be completed during any fiscal period, or that the contracts will not be terminated before all the estimated future revenues are earned, received, and/or recognized. Total Contract Value is a performance measure that the Company believes provides useful information to its management and investors as it allows the Company to better track the Company’s current sales performance, without any adjustment to exclude revenues that will not be earned, received, or recognized until future periods. Total Contract Value includes new sales in all our revenue categories, including SaaS, perpetual software licenses, maintenance, storage and retrieval, and professional services, to new or existing customers. It excludes renewals (and price increases on renewals if any). Total Contract Value is not a substitute for total revenue. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to Total Contract Value, so the Company has not reconciled the Total Contract Value to any GAAP measure.
