Quarterly Report

- The company's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $(4.140) million, compared to $(3.783) million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to a non-recurring interest credit in the prior year.

Negatives

- Net cash used in investing activities significantly increased to $(5.150) million in H1 2025 from $(0.697) million in H1 2024, largely due to new short-term investments.
Risks
- High concentration of revenue from U.S. government entities (93.7% of total revenues for H1 2025) exposes the company to risks such as potential disruptions in appropriations and spending, and the government's right to cancel contracts at convenience.
- The company continues to operate at a net loss, indicating ongoing cash burn from operations.
- Future revenue concentration among customers is expected to fluctuate, potentially impacting financial stability.
- The company's ability to successfully market, sell, and deliver its INTRUSION Shield commercial product to an expanding customer base is crucial for diversification beyond government contracts.
- Reliance on capital raises, such as the new ATM program, for funding operations and growth introduces potential dilution for existing shareholders.
Future Outlook
Management anticipates increasing sales and marketing spend to enhance brand awareness, refine product messaging, and drive increased sales through the remainder of 2025. Research and development costs may fluctuate as the company determines the frequency of new releases, improved functionality, and enhancements for its product offerings. The company expects revenue concentration among customers to vary, but sales to government customers are projected to remain a significant portion of total revenues.
Management Comments
- We anticipate increasing our spend to create more brand awareness, concise product messaging and drive increased sales through the remainder of 2025.
- We expect our revenue concentration among customers to fluctuate in future periods, depending on the timing of sales; however, we anticipate that sales to government customers will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues.
Industry Context
The cybersecurity industry continues to experience robust growth due to increasing digital threats and the need for advanced protection solutions like Zero Trust and reputation-based security. Intrusion Inc.'s focus on government entities, particularly with its TraceCop and Savant solutions, positions it within a stable, albeit highly regulated, segment of the market. The expansion of INTRUSION Shield into commercial markets and the securing of a Department of Defense contract indicate an effort to capitalize on broader market demand and leverage its established expertise. The loss of a major commercial customer highlights the competitive nature of the commercial cybersecurity market, while the ability to offset this loss with new customers, including government contracts, demonstrates resilience.
Comparison to Industry Standards
- The filing does not provide specific comparable companies, projects, or results for direct industry benchmarking.
- Intrusion Inc.'s gross profit margin of 76.0% for H1 2025 is generally healthy for a software and services company, indicating strong pricing power or efficient cost of revenue management, though it saw a slight decrease from the prior year.
- The significant reliance on U.S. government entities for over 90% of its revenue is a notable characteristic, differing from many commercial cybersecurity firms that aim for a more diversified customer base. This concentration can offer stability but also carries unique risks related to government appropriations and contract cancellations.
- The company's continued net losses, despite revenue growth, suggest it is still in a growth or investment phase, common for technology companies investing heavily in R&D and market expansion, similar to many smaller cybersecurity innovators.

Recommendation
holdIntrusion Inc. demonstrated strong revenue growth and made significant progress in strengthening its balance sheet by eliminating debt and securing new capital. This indicates positive strategic execution and improved financial stability. However, the company continues to incur net losses, and its high reliance on government contracts introduces specific risks. While the capital raises provide necessary liquidity for operations and growth, they also result in substantial shareholder dilution. For a seasoned investor, the company shows potential for future growth but remains in a high-investment, unprofitable phase, warranting a 'hold' position to observe sustained profitability and diversification efforts.
