Intrinsyc (TSX: ITC and OTCQX: ISYRF) Reports Second Quarter ResultsIntrinsyc achieved Revenue of US $5.5 million (CDN $7.3 million) with EBITDA1 of US $169,429 (CDN $226,644) VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation (TSX: ITC and OTCQX: ISYRF) (“Intrinsyc” or the “Company”), a leading provider of edge computing solutions for the development of intelligent Internet of Things (“IoT”) products, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. Intrinsyc achieved Revenue of US $5.5 million (CDN $7.3 million) with EBITDA of US $169,429 (CDN $226,644). The Company achieved its most productive quarter ever with 9 new design wins. These wins include 5 companies that are currently developing intelligent IoT products that will be powered by the Company’s edge AI computing modules and 4 new clients that have begun commercial shipments of their products. Intelligent IoT products in production and under development include a variety of next-generation intelligent IoT products, including robotics, drones, medical devices, video conferencing, intelligent cameras, and more. The Company expects to achieve multi-year recurring revenue from the growing list of production clients as they purchase Intrinsyc’s edge AI computing modules to power their intelligent IoT products. The Company also achieved its most productive quarter of new product introductions with the launch of four new Edge AI computing platforms, including:
“I was very pleased with the progress we made in adding new design wins during the quarter,” stated Tracy Rees, Chief Executive Officer, Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation. “Expanding the base of clients that will purchase Intrinsyc’s edge AI computing modules on a recurring basis is key to our continued revenue growth. The prolific introduction of new products in the quarter was another bright spot, as these products are a catalyst for both product development services as well as future recurring revenue from computing modules. Although the Company is consistently achieving positive EBITDA, we are taking steps to improve our financial performance, and made additional reduction in our operating expenses in the second quarter. Since March 2019, we have made operating expense reductions with an annualized cost savings of over US$1,000,000, with full impact of these savings beginning in the third quarter. With these cost savings and new orders received in the latter half of the second quarter and beginning in the third quarter, we expect to have particularly strong fourth quarter financial results.” The Company announced the Open-Q™ 212A SOM and Development Kit in May. The Open-Q™ 212A SOM is a compact (50mm x 46.5mm) pre-certified, production-ready embedded computing module that is ideal for cost-sensitive home hub, home automation, and smart audio devices featuring voice control, AI, and wireless connectivity. It is powered by the Qualcomm® Home Hub 300 Platform based on the Qualcomm® APQ8009 System-on-Chip (“SoC”). Intrinsyc launched the Open-Q™ 820Pro µSOM (micro System on Module); an enhanced power-performance version of our popular 820 µSOM, with increased processing power, more memory, and long-life availability, in the same ultra-compact 25×50 mm form factor. The production ready, pre-certified 820Pro µSOM is a pin compatible, drop-in replacement for the existing 820 µSOM, requiring only SW changes to provide higher performance, with more efficiency, and long-term availability. The Company also began shipping the Snapdragon™ Automotive Development Platform (“ADP”) based on the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ SA8155P processor from Qualcomm® Technologies, Inc. (“QTI”). The platform provides OEMs and ecosystem partners with access to QTI’s high-performance automotive infotainment and advanced driver assist platform, for developing, testing, optimizing and showcasing next-generation in-vehicle infotainment solutions. The ADP provides an optimized application development environment for rapid deployment of high performance and power efficient connected automotive infotainment offerings. These products are a catalyst for both product development services as well as future recurring revenue from computing modules. Quarterly Business Events

Six Month Comparative Results The Company reported revenue of US $11.6 million (CDN $15.4 million), down 7% over the same period in the prior year of US$12.5 million (CDN$16.0 million). The decrease in revenue over the comparative periods was due primarily to decreased revenue from the sale of hardware products. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 33%, which was consistent with the gross margin in the same period in the prior year. EBITDA was as follows:
The Company had a net loss of US $105,608 (CDN $138,213) or US $0.00 (CDN $0.00) loss per share during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net income of US $268,555 (CDN $340,575) or US $0.01 (CDN $0.01) during the same period in the prior year. Financial Position as at June 30, 2019 Working capital4 as of June 30, 2019 was US $10.0 million (CDN $13.1 million) inclusive of cash and short-term investments of US $3.8 million (CDN $5.0 million). This is compared to net working capital of US $10.3 million (CDN $14.1 million) as at December 31, 2018 inclusive of cash and short-term investments of US $6.0 million (CDN $8.1 million). The decrease in working capital was due primarily to shares repurchased by the Company under its normal course issuer bid (NCIB) and capital expenditures pertaining to its investment in a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system and the leasehold improvements pertaining to the opening of its new Taiwan office facility in May 2019 offset by the positive EBITDA generated by the Company during fiscal 2019 to date.
