VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – WEBWIRE

Intrinsyc Software International, Inc. (TSX: ICS) (“Intrinsyc” or the “Company”), a leading provider of solutions for the development of embedded and wireless devices, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2014. Intrinsyc achieved strong annual and sequential revenue growth. Revenue was approximately $2.3 million in the first quarter, up 88% from approximately $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 and up 40% from approximately $1.6 million in the previous quarter. Higher revenue resulted in achievement of positive EBITDA1 of approximately $102,000. Financial information is reported in United States dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

“The Company is expanding its base of customers and prospects for the Open-Q™ 8074 System on Module (“SOM”), with a corresponding increase in revenue and order backlog,” stated Tracy Rees, Intrinsyc’s CEO. “As our customers increase sales of their products, Intrinsyc will benefit from repeat sales of our computing modules and/or design royalties. This shared success business model allows Intrinsyc to better align with our customer’s business and product initiatives, while enjoying the potential for greater revenue.”

Business Highlights

Notable developments and achievements during the quarter include the following:

  • Received an order exceeding $300,000 in value for the delivery of a custom version of the low-power, high performance, Open-Q 8060A SOM. The computing modules are expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2014.

Financial Highlights

Three Month Comparative Results

The Company reported revenue of approximately $2.3 million, up 88% year-over-year, from approximately $1.2 million, and up 40% quarter-over-quarter, from approximately $1.6 million.

Gross margin2 was 41%, up from 25% in the same period in the prior year and up from 36% in the prior period. Improvements in margin were a result of higher utilization and efficiency of the Company’s engineering resources, and a one-time royalty payment by a customer for the Company’s RapidRIL technology.

Total expenses (excluding other operating expenses)3 were approximately $832,000, compared to approximately $1.1 million in the same period in the prior year and approximately $552,000 for the prior quarter. The decrease in expenses year-over-year is a result of a reduction in non-core operating expenses, while the increase quarter-over-quarter was the result of an one-time reversal of accrued bonus expenses of approximately $75,000 that occurred in the previous quarter, as well as increased sales, marketing and development expenses in the quarter related to development and marketing of the Company’s new product initiatives.

EBITDA was approximately $102,000, a substantial improvement from approximately ($792,000) in the same period in the prior year and up from approximately $30,000 in the prior quarter.

Due to the declining value of the Canadian dollar, the Company incurred a foreign exchange loss of approximately $236,000, contributing to a net loss of approximately $160,000. The company had a net loss of approximately $725,000 in the same period in the prior year, but net income of approximately $103,000 in the prior quarter.

Financial Position as at March 31, 2014

Working capital4 as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $8.6 million (which included cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.6 million and short term investments of approximately $3.5 million). This is compared to net working capital of approximately $8.8 million as of December 31, 2013 (which included cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.6 million and short-term investments of approximately $4.5 million).
