Intrinsyc (TSX: ITC and OTC: ISYRF) Reports Quarterly Revenue of US$6.4 million for Growth of 40% over Prior Year

EBITDA1 of US$450,091 (CDN$581,112) in FY18 Q2 Representing a 377% Increase from Prior Year

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation (TSX: ITC and OTC: ISYRF) (“Intrinsyc” or the “Company”), a leading provider of solutions for the development of intelligent connected devices, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.  Intrinsyc achieved year over year revenue growth of 40% in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, with EBITDA of US$450,091 (CDN$581,112).

The strong revenue growth was a result of increased revenue from both embedded computing hardware and product development services.  Revenue was US$6.4 million (CDN$8.3 million) which was an increase from US$4.6 million (CDN$6.2 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.  

"Our Q2 financial results show exceptionally strong growth year-on-year,” stated Tracy Rees, Chief Executive Officer, Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation.  “We also had record booked sales during the quarter in excess of US$8.0 million; increasing the Company’s backlog and setting a solid base for future revenue performance.  Backlog was further strengthened with the material order of $5,431,000 announced subsequent to the quarter end, on July 31.”  Rees added, “Continuing the buildout of our embedded computing platforms, we recently announced the Open-Q™ 2500 Development Kit and production-ready System on Module (“SOM”) targeted at wearable and tracking applications.  These products were also mentioned in a news release from our strategic technology partner and at their partner event at Mobile World Congress Asia.  In a significant expansion of our relationship with our partner, we signed a patent license that will enable Intrinsyc to build computing modules that contain an integrated LTE cellular modem.  The first product powered by a combined processor and modem chip will be a version of the Open-Q™ 2500 SOM.  We believe having the capability to build cellular based embedded computing modules for IoT markets provides the Company with compelling differentiation and will expand our market opportunities.”
