Intelligent Systems Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

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

“We re-affirm our previously reported preliminary second quarter 2019 revenues of about $7.5 million (actual $7,512,000) and preliminary income from operations of $2.5 to $2.7 million (actual $2,601,000) representing significant growth from the same period last year. Comparisons between year-over-year quarters and the first half of the year show significant gains that are not likely to be replicated at the same percentage increases going forward.”

“We still expect to see an uptick in license revenue sometime this year and expect the professional services component of our revenue that is associated with the increased license revenue to drop some to a more sustainable pace,” commented Leland Strange, CEO of Intelligent Systems.
