NORCROSS, Ga., March 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Systems Corporation (NYSE MKT:INS) [ www.intelsys.com ] announced today its financial results for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013.
For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013, total revenue declined by 1 percent to $16,318,000 as compared to total revenue of $16,530,000 in the prior year. Net income attributable to Intelligent Systems for the fiscal year 2013 was $1,084,000 ($0.12 per share), which was double the net income attributable to Intelligent Systems of $534,000 ($0.06 per share) in fiscal 2012.
For the three month period ended December 31, 2013, total revenue was $3,491,000, a decline of 19 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. The company recorded a net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems of $58,000 ($0.01 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to net income attributable to Intelligent Systems of $314,000 ($0.04 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2012.
On an annual basis, in 2013 both the ChemFree and CoreCard subsidiaries contributed to year-over-year improved profitability, despite slightly lower revenue. However, in the fourth quarter of 2013, a more significant revenue dip resulted in a net loss on a consolidated basis.
J. Leland Strange, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "While profitable and cash-flow positive, ChemFree experienced a revenue decline in both the fourth quarter and, to a lesser extent, annual period of 2013 compared to the prior year, reflecting primarily the expiration of an equipment lease contract in mid-2013 as well as a temporary slowdown in the number of machines purchased by its largest customer due to changes in the customer's internal regulatory processes.
"In the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013, our CoreCard subsidiary grew its revenue from maintenance and support services for its base of licensed software customers and continued to add revenue from its card processing services. In 2014, we are adding new sales and marketing resources to support the processing business initiative."
