James F.

Our new Payables Automation SaaS solutions will spearhead our transformation, exceeding the growth of our traditional content management SaaS solutions. Our SaaS revenue continues to grow faster than our consolidated revenue. From our position of strength in cash flow generation, we will continue to invest more in sales and marketing to take advantage of the opportunities in front of us, particularly in Payables Automation."

"For the year, we prepaid $1.65 million of our debt, leaving just over $1.3 million. We stepped up our sales and marketing investments in 2024, and have continued to do so, adding a Vice President of Sales and Sales Engineer in 2025 already. I am very excited about our prospects for the future," continued Mr. DeSocio.

Summary – 2024 Fourth Quarter Results

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $4,280,071, an increase of 2.1%, as compared with $4,192,689 for the same period in 2023. This organic increase was driven by an 11.8% increase in SaaS revenue, and a 0.3% increase in professional services fees. Our professional services growth was limited due to certain projects being pushed out into 2025.

Total operating expenses increased 11.4% to $2,829,369, compared to $2,540,565 for the same period in 2023, driven by increases in sales and marketing expense of $169,923 (37.0%) and depreciation and amortization of $42,974 (16.6%). Loss from operations was $12,920 compared to income from operations of $181,527 in the fourth quarter last year, driven by the sales and marketing increase and other structural investments.

Intellinetics reported net loss of $53,701 compared to net income of $61,638 for the same period in 2023. Basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was ($0.01), compared to $0.02 per basic and $0.01 per fully diluted share for the period ended December 31, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $531,241 compared to $754,375 in 2023.

Summary – 2024 Full-Year Results

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $18,018,373, an increase of 6.7% as compared with $16,886,381 for the same period in 2023. Total operating expenses increased 23.7% to $11,698,431, compared to $9,456,486. In addition to structural investments for growth and scale, including sales and marketing, the primary driver of the expense increase was an incremental $1,060,840 related to share-based compensation, including our granting of stock options to employees and directors and our issuance of restricted stock awards to employees, all of which was a non-cash expense except for $69,525 relating to shares canceled for payment of payroll taxes as part of a cashless grant. Loss from operations was $173,505, compared to income from operations of $1,107,469 for last year. Intellinetics reported net loss of $546,215, or ($0.13) per basic and $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $519,266, or $0.13 per basic and $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023. The 2024 operating loss and net loss were the result of structural investments and share-based compensation discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA was $2,382,357 compared to $2,744,649.

2025 Outlook

Based on management's current plans and assumptions, the Company expects that it will grow revenues on a year-over-year basis for the fiscal year 2025. The Company also expects its 2025 EBITDA to be reduced by more than half compared to fiscal year 2024, due to increased investments in sales and marketing intended to provide returns on those investments in late 2025 and beyond.

"Our Payables Automation solutions provide an extremely quick return on investment for our customers, and offers our company a clear organic growth opportunity to rapidly grow our SaaS revenue over the next four to five years just with continuing a successful rollout with existing partners," continued Mr. DeSocio. "We view Payables Automation as a transformative opportunity for our company, and we plan to continue to make investments to position the product for as rapid an adoption as we can drive. In addition to sales and marketing initiatives, we plan to enhance our development capabilities to bring features to market more quickly, and to bring our solutions to new ERP partnerships which become additional ecosystems for happy customers."

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, share-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.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA

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.

Reconciliation of revenues to recurring revenues:

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.
