Presentation

[Operator]

Good day, everyone, and welcome to the Intrusion Second Quarter twenty twenty five Financial Results Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen only mode, and we will open the floor for your questions and comments after the presentation. It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to your host, Josh Carroll, Investor Relations. Sir, the floor is yours.

[Josh Carroll, IRO at Intrusion]

During the call, we may use non GAAP measures if we believe it is useful to investors or if we believe it will help investors better understand our performance or business trends. With that, let me now turn the call over to Tony for a few opening remarks. Tony?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Thank you, Josh, and good afternoon, and thank you all for joining us today. The 2025 marked another positive step forward for Intrusion as we continue to make progress toward our goal of achieving sustainable growth and profitability. A few key highlights in the second quarter were yet another quarter of consistent revenue growth, with Q2 marking the fifth quarter in a row of delivering sequential top line growth near zero customer churn, which we view as a testament to the value of our offerings the operational deployment of our Shield critical infrastructure monitoring and protection capability, which expands the breadth and use of our core technology. We completed development work for our release of Intrusion Shield technology into the AWS marketplace. We've seen encouraging results from our Q2 efforts on social media and other platforms of awareness and engagement, and enthusiastic reception for our technology with our solution partner, Port Nexus, with respect to MyFLAIR Alert, the next generation solution for improving response to safety incidents in schools and other vulnerable public institutions.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Now, as we discussed during our first quarter call, critical infrastructure was one of the key areas in which we are making strategic investments to strengthen our portfolio of product capabilities and ensure that our solutions are evolving and addressing the fast moving cybersecurity landscape. Our progress in growing this portion of our portfolio was recently highlighted by the $3,000,000 extension and expansion of our contract with the Department of Defense, and that's already generating incremental revenue for us. We continue to see critical infrastructure protection of operational technology environments as a highly promising market opportunity for intrusion. As Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem recently highlighted in her 05/14/2025 testimony before the house Homeland Security Committee, critical infrastructure sectors like water, energy, transportation, and communications utilities continue to be and have been prime targets for nation state cyber actors. Through our ongoing government sales activities, we'll be spending additional effort to communicate and ultimately sell and deploy Intrusion's unique capabilities in this most important area of focus.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Now for an update on a few of our other strategic initiatives that we have underway, all of which are aimed at helping position Intrusion for future growth. As I mentioned, we're on track with our previously announced plans to make our Shield Cloud product generally available on the AWS Marketplace, and anticipate product launch later this month, with full and robust marketing and sales support activities that are critical to our success in this important space. We have an active beta release in the AWS Marketplace today, and reporting our own website to use this release as we speak. Additionally, we also plan to make ShieldCloud available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace later this year. And while it will take some time for meaningful customer traction to be seen in our financial results, we do believe that offering our products through these two marketplaces will help drive long term growth and incremental revenue for our business.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

As for our partnerships, we are continuing to work closely with PortNexus to sell our Shield endpoint with their MyFlare and PledgePlus solutions. As we noted last quarter, our solutions will help provide enhanced security on the endpoints used by PortNexus customers. Some of the use cases for the MyFlare product include schools and courthouses, where the solution provides for a panic button that in turn gives a near instantaneous video feed to law enforcement authorities. That provides greater situational awareness and helps cut down on the response time during an emergency. We are proud to be a part of a critical technology solution that we believe is well positioned to generate strong market demand and revenue. Now briefly on to our financials for the quarter. Total revenues for the second quarter were $1,900,000 representing a 6% increase compared to the previous quarter and a 28% increase on a year over year basis. This was largely driven by work performed under the Department of Defense contract awarded in the 2024. Our operating expenses were up slightly during the quarter, and this was largely due to the continued investment in our business, both product and sales and marketing, which we will continue to do in a disciplined manner over the next few quarters to help support our growth.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Finally, we were pleased to see the passing of the spending bill on July 4. And while our pipeline of non government opportunities remained strong, a new federal budget will help open the door for the expansion of our products into new government contracts. We continue to remain excited about the future here at Intrusion, and the demand for our products continues to grow. And with that, I'd now like to turn the call over to Kim for a more detailed review of our second quarter financials. Kim?

[Kimberly Pinson, CFO at Intrusion]

Thanks, Tony, and good afternoon, everyone. In the 2025, revenues were $1,900,000 an increase of 6% sequentially and 28% when compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenue was driven by multiple new contracts and Shield logos in recent quarters, most notably including a contract with the United States Department of Defense utilizing both Shield technology and consulting services. Consulting revenues in the second quarter totaled 1,400,000 which is flat when compared to the prior quarter and an increase of $200,000 on a year over year basis. Shield revenues in the second quarter were $500,000 an increase of $100,000 sequentially and up $200,000 when compared to the prior year period.

[Kimberly Pinson, CFO at Intrusion]

The increase in Shield revenue primarily reflects the work performed under the previously noted Department of Defense contract award. As Tony noted, we are continuing to see strong demand for our services with both governmental and commercial customers and anticipate deeper penetration in both sectors, which will result in further changes to our customer mix. Gross profit margin was 76% for the 2025, which was flat on a year over year basis. As a reminder, gross profit margin will vary depending on our product mix. Operating expenses in the 2025 totaled $3,500,000 an increase of $100,000 on a sequential basis and $400,000 on a year over year basis. The increase sequentially was largely driven by an increase in R and D spending, largely related to design work for expanding our critical infrastructure monitoring product offering. We may elect to further increase our investment in both product development and sales and marketing to accelerate the growth of our customer base, which will result in higher operating expenses. The increase over the prior year period of $400,000 is primarily due to a higher share based compensation from equity grants made in the first quarter, timing of merit increases and minor changes to staffing. With that said, we will continue to remain vigilant with our spending to ensure we maintain a strong liquidity position. Net loss for the 2025 was $2,000,000 or $0.10 per share compared to a net loss of $2,100,000 for the 2024.

[Kimberly Pinson, CFO at Intrusion]

Turning to the balance sheet from a liquidity perspective, on 06/30/2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,700,000 and short term investments in U. S. Treasuries of $3,700,000 We continue to have sufficient capital to fund our operations through the remainder of calendar twenty twenty five and into early twenty twenty six. With that, I'd like to turn the call back over to Tony for a few closing comments. Tony?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Thanks, Kim. While we're excited about the progress we've made in growing our business, we recognize that there is still a lot of work to be done in order to achieve our goal of generating sustainable growth and profitability. We do believe that we are on the right path forward, and that the strategic investments we have made, combined with the improved conversations we have been having with both current and potential customers, both in government and in the private sector, give us confidence that we'll be able to drive consistent improvement in our financial results. This concludes our prepared remarks, and I'll now turn the call over to the operator for Q and A.

[Operator]

Certainly. Everyone at this time will be conducting a question and answer question, please pick up your handset if you're listening on speakerphone to provide optimum sound quality. Once again, if you have any questions or comments, please press star one on your phone. Please hold while we poll for questions. Your first question is coming from Scott Buck from H. C. Wainwright. Your line is live.

[Scott Buck, MD & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC]

Hi, good afternoon guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Tony, I just want to be clear, the $3,000,000 contract with the DoD, is that an expansion of services or just an extension of services you were already providing?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Yeah, great question. It's both really. It's a kind of a renewal of an existing contract, but it's a dollar value increase on top of what we had been running. So it's kind of both. It's an increase in scope, but continuation contract.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

And we do expect more of that as this year and next year roll out.

[Scott Buck, MD & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC]

Okay, I guess that's my follow-up, Is what is the broader opportunity within the DoD and how does the signing of the big beautiful bill know, serve as a catalyst or a tailwind in your efforts there?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Well, I'm pretty excited about it. I mean, the DOD work we're doing covers some of the places that DOD is responsible for. But as I mentioned in my remarks, Christy Noem specifically called out domestic opportunities for water and utilities and communications and so on. And the exact same solutions that we've created for DOD, are being deployed largely outside the Continental US, those solutions as applicable internally inside the Continental US. So we're going to pursue that with vigor.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

I think the opportunity domestically is perhaps even larger than the international opportunities. So we're excited about it. We don't have anything landed yet, but it's clearly a focus of this administration. So we're going to be there and we're going to play hard to win.

[Scott Buck, MD & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC]

Great, that's helpful. And then I'm curious, in terms of the marketplaces, what can you guys do in terms of sales and marketing to get eyeballs on IntrusionShield within these marketplaces?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Well, we've studied very closely the things that have been successful in those marketplaces and the practices that they've followed in terms of creating awareness and promoting and creating examples of where their specific technologies are appropriate. And so we have a playbook that we're going to follow those best practices. And where we see failures, it's in companies that didn't follow some of these best practices or failed to execute on some of the things that are known to work. So we are fully committed and we are going to spend some money, but we expect to have commensurate results.

[Scott Buck, MD & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC]

Perfect. And then last one, just in terms of some of your reseller partners, kind of where do you stand with them? You kind of mentioned it or touched on it during the prepared remarks, but just a little additional color there would be very helpful.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Well, think I've said this in prior calls, but we're continuing to refine our reseller space. We've had some resellers that frankly didn't do much for us, and we've dropped them and we've added some new ones. I think we're getting better at understanding which of those are likely to be more successful than say others. And we're doing a better job of qualifying those partners, and in turn, they do a better job of qualifying potential customers. That said, we're still focused primarily on MSPs and MSSPs, and we've been doing a number of trade shows and places where we can meet those specific kinds of customers with really good reception.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

So we're going to continue that this fall and hopefully see some great results from that. But we're constantly refining and learning as we go.

[Scott Buck, MD & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC]

Yep, that's great. I appreciate the added color guys. Thank you very much for the time.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Thanks.

[Operator]

Thank you. Your next question is coming from Ed Woo from Ascendiant Capital. Your line is live.

[Edward Woo, Director of Research & Senior Analyst at Ascendiant Capital]

Yeah. Congratulations on the progress. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on federal, opportunities. What about, enterprise opportunities? Have you seen any big shift in either budgets or in sales cycles?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Well, the, you know, the government opportunities are kind of obvious, I guess, because of the of the sort of focus and emphasis. And it's also a marketplace that, frankly, we've been in business with for quite a long time in intrusion's history. So it's appropriate for us to mine that. I think the shift that we're seeing there is we're using a lot of our shield based technology, and we also have a healthy consulting business there. In the corporate and enterprise sector, we are a new entrant in that, and we are continuing to pursue some opportunities in that space.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

But we think our best entry in the market at this point is through managed service providers and managed service security providers. And so that's where we're putting a lot of interest effort, I should say. But we're not gonna turn away enterprise business, but it's not our core focus at the at the moment.

[Edward Woo, Director of Research & Senior Analyst at Ascendiant Capital]

Have you noticed any significant shift either of federal or enterprise in terms of, you know, the budgeting or in terms of sales cycles of whether anybody want to delay purchasing big software contracts?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Well, think there's still long cycles, you know, from everything I can see. Talking to my friends and former colleagues and so on, they are under a lot of pressure to validate and justify cybersecurity spend, they are in many cases looking at where am I getting value, particularly in spaces where they are vulnerable. So phishing continues to be the number one entry point for all kinds of bad things to get into your environment. Supply chain is also a huge focus. We're also seeing quite a bit of interest in sort of OT technology protection as opposed to IT protection.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

The IT protection space is pretty well got a lot of people playing in it and a lot of saturation, but the OT environment, I'm talking about manufacturing floors and other things like that, seems to be a space that's not quite as crowded and a place that we can, I think, play well? So we're going to undertake some additional efforts in that OT space.

[Edward Woo, Director of Research & Senior Analyst at Ascendiant Capital]

Great. Well, thanks for answering my questions, and I wish you guys good luck. Thank you.

[Operator]

Thank you. Your next question is coming from Howard Brous from Wellington Shields. Your line is live.

[Howard Brous, Analyst at Wellington Shields LLC]

Thank you. Tony, five quarters in a row sequential growth, I'll take nickels, dimes, quarters or dollars, so first congratulations on that. Secondly, critical infrastructure, when you talk about schools, can you give us some timing and visibility of what you're talking about in terms of revenue and when?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

So the schools with the Port Nexus thing, we did some trade shows with them over the summer. Schools tend to go to their trade shows over the summer and then actually purchased during the fall and winter months as get into their budget years and school years and so on. One of the things that kind of impressed me when we were showing administrators of school districts our solutions at some of these trade shows was how quick the sales cycle was. We would do a ten or fifteen or twenty minute demo, and the reaction we'd get is, boy, I want this, which in our traditional products, you know, sometimes is months or longer in terms of getting to a point where they're that enthusiastic about buying. I'm encouraged by those kinds of receptions.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

On the other critical infrastructure stuff like protecting communications and water wells and utilities and those kinds of things, I think that's going to be a longer sales cycle because these are typically larger institutions, and in some cases they have dedicated cybersecurity teams who are going to want to test and vet the solutions and so on. But as we look at the landscape, we don't see as much competition or at least perceived competition in those spaces. So I think we've got room to spread our wings and impress people in those marketplaces.

[Howard Brous, Analyst at Wellington Shields LLC]

Can you give us a sense of, given the opportunities very near term, of when you think you might break even?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Well, we could have a couple of big contracts and that would get us there quickly. If it's a bazillion small ones, it's probably not as quick, but I'm not gonna give a date projection, but it's absolutely our goal. And Kim and I think about this every single day about when and how we can get there. So our our BDIs are on the target, and we're we're aiming for that as soon as we can reasonably get there. We're not going to go buy business, only to have it go away, but we want sustainable, profitable, long term business and that's what we're going for.

[Howard Brous, Analyst at Wellington Shields LLC]

Thank you. That's all I have.

[Operator]

Thank you. Your next question is coming from Mildred Mafengal. Your line is live.

[Analyst]

Tony? Tony? Hello?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Yes.

[Analyst]

Hear me?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Alright. We can hear you. Yes.

[Analyst]

I'm miss Massengale's financial adviser. I did notice that you, took over as CEO in 2021 and a substantial improvement in the net loss in the company. So I I applaud you on that. One of the things I wanted to ask you is when do you anticipate having sustainable improvement in your cash flow?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Again, it's kind of related to Howard's question. We have a number in mind, which is not that far away that we think would get us to cash flow breakeven or positive EBITDA. And as I said earlier, I think a couple of good contracts get us there, or a bunch of smaller ones, obviously. But I think given all of the initiatives that we've launched this year between this infrastructure and OT product, the marketplace with AWS, later on with Azure, and our endpoint product and other developments that we have underway, there's multiple avenues for us to get there. So I'm more encouraged than ever that it's achievable, and I'm looking at nearer term rather than long term, you want to define those things, but it's certainly our goal.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

And as a major investor in the company, it's important to me that we get there, so I'll be as excited as anyone when we do.

[Analyst]

Who are some of your major competitors?

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Well, it's a great question. There's what I'd call perceived competitors and then real competitors. And and one of the things that we've struggled with is if you look at the offerings of a lot of cybersecurity companies, At a high level, it sounds like they do some of the same things that we do. But when you get down to the details and understand what they actually do, there aren't really any competitors. So as an example, people often think that we do the same thing as, for example, Cisco Umbrella, which is a product name that Cisco has.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

But when we do a side by side comparison, we find that there's very little overlap and we're very unique in our space. And same thing with offerings from Palo Alto Networks or CrowdStrike or many of the other people in the cybersecurity space. And up until now, we've not spent a lot of money, you know, marketing and and what have you to try to explain to people what those differences are. But that changes this year with the introduction of our new products and our different vehicles to market that we have already talked about. So we are going to spend some money this year talking to people about our differentiation and why we think we are necessary and better than some of the things that they might perceive as competitive products.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Long winded answer, but it's something we've been very focused on.

[Analyst]

Well, I think it's very important for you to get some of the big money backing you, approaching different private investors or mutual fund companies that that can give you an influx of capital to help you with that marketing.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

For sure. And I would say last year, we needed that badly. Right now, we're sitting in a pretty good cash position. And I meant to mention it on the call, but Kim alluded to it, we don't see a need to raise capital anytime in the near future, at least until next year at the earliest. With any luck, we won't need to do it at all.

[Analyst]

Okay. Well, thank you for taking my questions, and wish you a lot of success there in Plano.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Thank you.

[Operator]

Thank you. That concludes our Q and A session. I'll now hand the conference back to Tony Scott, President and CEO for closing remarks. Please go ahead.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

Well, thanks everyone. I'm really looking forward to an exciting Q3 and Q4 this year. Our teams are highly motivated and energized to go do the work that we need to do to continue our our success. We're prepared to continue our product innovation journey, and we've got a bunch of exciting things in the hopper that I think will excite our customers. We're trying out some of our new messaging at a trade show this week, and it seems to be working pretty well.

[Tony Scott, President, CEO & Director at Intrusion]

So I'm looking forward to more of that. Kim and I are going to be doing a number of investor and non deal road shows this fall. And so we're looking forward to those conversations and hopefully it convinces a bunch of people to buy intrusion stock and help our stock price continue to grow. And I'm looking forward to sharing our Q3 results, but in the meantime I'm wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous end of summer and fall, and we'll look forward to talking with you when we share our Q3 results. Thanks everybody.

[Operator]

Thank you. Everyone, this concludes today's event. You may disconnect at this time and have a wonderful day. Thank you for your participation.
