Intrinsyc Reports 2008 Third Quarter Financial Results

Vancouver, BC – Intrinsyc Software International, Inc. (TSX: ICS), a global wireless software solutions provider, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008, reported in United States dollars and in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The Company’s results are presented in comparison to the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 and the three-month period ended August 31, 2007. As previously announced, Intrinsyc changed its fiscal year-end from August 31 to December 31.

The Company reported third quarter revenue of $7.9 million as compared to $5.6 million for the period ended June 30, 2008 and $4.3 million in the period ended August 31, 2007. The year-over-year revenue improvement of 84 percent was primarily attributable to the addition of navigation software revenues from the acquisition of assets of Destinator Technologies Inc., combined with consistent revenue generation from the Company’s wireless engineering services. Total revenue attributable to the Company’s software solutions increased to 38 percent of revenues, including software licensing, maintenance/support and software-related services, as compared to 23 percent and 15 percent in the respective comparative quarters.

Gross margin was 61 percent in the third quarter of 2008, up from 47 percent in the three months ended June 30, 2008. When compared to the three months ended August 31, 2007, the total gross profit of $4.8 million increased by 127 percent, while gross margin of 61 percent was higher than the 49 percent achieved in that period based on the increased revenue from the Company’s software offerings, which has higher margins than engineering services.

“We increased revenue in the past quarter significantly over the prior periods, which is attributable to strong performance by our engineering services business, in addition to revenue generated by our Destinator® acquisition. We also commenced generating Soleus® royalty revenue from MiTAC and SiRF during this period,” commented Tracy Rees, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Intrinsyc. “While we continue to focus our efforts on accelerating execution, we have taken and will continue to take important steps to preserve cash and better align our business with the current economic environment and the ramping of Soleus and Destinator. Included in these efforts are initiatives to streamline our organizational structure, deliver operating efficiencies, reduce costs and further our efforts towards profitability.”

Loss before interest, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and income tax (“EBITDA”) for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $3.9 million, compared to $3.9 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2008, and $3.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2007. Total operating expenses, excluding amortization and stock-based compensation, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $8.7 million, compared to $6.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $5.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2007. See further discussion on EBITDA under the heading, “Supplemental Information”, later in this press release.

Cash at the end of the third quarter was $19.7 million, compared to $30.0 million as of June 30, 2008.
Financial Outlook

The Company expects revenues for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 to be slightly lower than the range of $26 million to $29 million provided previously due to the impact of the challenging macroeconomic conditions. Gross margin is expected to be consistent with prior guidance of 49 percent to 55 percent, with revenue attributable to software of 28 percent to 33 percent of total revenues for this period. Due to the current economic environment resulting in reduced visibility regarding the timing of execution of sales opportunities, the Company is not able to provide additional financial outlook at this time.
