First Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.1 million, a decrease of $0.2 million on both a sequential and year-over-year basis. The decline in revenue during the first quarter of 2024 was driven by a decrease in consulting revenue that was mainly associated with the federal budget not being approved until the end of the first quarter, which hindered the timing of new contract awards.

The gross profit margin was 80% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 76% in the first quarter of 2023.

Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2024 were $3.4 million, a decrease from $5.0 million in the comparable quarter of last year.

The net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $(1.7) million, or $(0.94) per share, compared to a net loss of $(4.7) million, or $(4.49) per share for the first quarter of 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $0.1 million. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Intrusion entered into a private placement subscription agreement pursuant to which the Company sold to purchasers in a Private Offering 1.3 million shares of its common stock each of which is coupled with a warrant to purchase two shares of common stock at an aggregate offering price of $1.95 per share. The Private Offering resulted in net proceeds to Intrusion of $2.6 million. Also subsequent to March 31^st, Intrusion sold 0.2 million shares of common stock through a warrant inducement offering resulting in $0.6 million in net proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. The cash balance as of May 10, 2024 was $2.4 million.

"During the first quarter, we continued to make progress toward growing our Intrusion Shield customer base as we build on the strong momentum we experienced at the end of 2023," said Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion. "Our robust Shield partnerships have continued to benefit our business, which is evident by the announcement that we made recently with iOne Resources, where Intrusion's technology will be a part of a $25 million award to help protect the cybersecurity and integrity of the midterm elections in the Philippines, with the award creating over $1 million in ARR for our Shield business in the second half of 2024. This partnership, along with our other recently announced customer wins, highlights the success we have been achieving through our go-to-market strategy for our compelling and innovative strategies that provide customers with the tools they need to better identify, deflect, and eliminate any cyber threats they may encounter."

Mr. Scott continued, "Over the past several weeks, we have also successfully been able to complete the final stages of our strategic plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum listing requirements with the announcement of our most recent Private Offering and converting $9.5 million of our senior debt to equity. Both of which helped us achieve the minimum equity standard required to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Markets. Looking ahead, we continue to remain focused on ensuring we have the funds we need to not only propel our growth but also satisfy our customers' needs with cost-effective cybersecurity solutions for their enterprise."
