James F. DeSocio, President & CEO of Intellinetics, stated, “We delivered another quarter of double-digit revenue growth, bolstered by continued expansion of our SaaS revenue and high customer retention, leading to continued profitability. While third quarter year-over-year net income and adjusted EBITDA results declined from a record-setting Q3 in 2022, for the 9-month period year-to-date, we generated meaningful improvements in operating income, net income, and Adjusted EBITDA. I am further pleased that our cash flow generation has continued to be strong: in the third quarter we paid off $700,000 in debt principal, fully repaying a debt financing round and bringing our year-to-date debt and earnout payments to $1.7 million. We look forward to continued growth of our business, and expect recently enacted price increases to contribute to our overall results. We continue to see strong demand. Intellinetics has built a stable, profitable platform for continued top- and bottom-line growth, and we are investing in marketing to help us capture share in the large, growing markets that we serve.”
“Our recently announced IPAS product has generated signed contracts which will yield in excess of $475,000 in annualized SaaS recurring revenue, all of which should be up and running before the end of March, 2024,” added Mr. DeSocio. ”IPAS is an excellent solution for managing payables for large and complex enterprises, providing an instant net cost savings for the customer. We look for IPAS to be a meaningful driver of accelerated growth in our SaaS revenues. IPAS is and will continue to be sold through channels where it is filling an unmet need, or direct to our existing customer base. We are excited by our early success to date, especially as it comes on top of the continued progress we are having with our other product offerings.”
“Cross-selling continues to be an area of focus,” continued Mr. DeSocio. “The number of customers using more than one of our services continues to grow. Simultaneously, we are expanding our relationship with key clients. We anticipate continued organic growth for the foreseeable future.”
Summary – 2023 Third Quarter Results
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $4,248,429, an increase of 10.0%, organically, as compared with $3,859,627 for the same period in 2022. The increase was driven by a 6.8% increase in SaaS revenue, and a 16.2% increase in professional services fees, partially offset by lower sales of licensed software. The increase in professional services was enabled by our ability to hire and retain people in our document conversion segment.
Total operating expenses increased 10.3% to $2,260,036, compared to $2,048,182 due to increases in depreciation and amortization (a non-cash expense) of $191,189 and general and administrative costs associated with higher revenue. Income from operations was $345,555 compared to $458,003 in the third quarter last year.
Intellinetics reported net income of $209,331, up 54% sequentially compared to the second quarter and down slightly compared to $217,536 for the same period in 2022. Basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and the period ended September 30, 2022 was $0.05. Adjusted EBITDA was $708,749 compared to $811,345 in the year-ago period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Intellinetics uses non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of a company.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of our liquidity. Intellinetics urges investors to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP Net Loss, which is included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Intellinetics’ financial performance.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure and is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest expense, any income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, note conversion and note or equity offer warrant or stock expense, gain or loss on debt extinguishment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and transaction costs.

Recurring Revenue: Recognized revenue for any applicable period that we characterize as being recurring in nature, without regard to contract start or end dates or renewal rates. It includes the following revenue types: SaaS subscription agreements, maintenance contracts related to perpetual software licenses, storage and retrieval services, and professional services revenues in the nature of business process outsourcing. It excludes revenues of a type that are not expected to recur, primarily perpetual licenses, most document conversion services, and other professional services that are project based. Recurring revenue is not determined by reference to deferred revenue, unbilled revenue, or any other GAAP financial measure over any period, so the Company has not reconciled the Recurring Revenues to any GAAP measure. Recurring revenue should not be extrapolated into a precise prediction of future revenues, because it does not take into account our contract start and end dates and our renewal rates. Management believes that reviewing this metric, in addition to GAAP results, helps investors and financial analysts understand the value of Intellinetics’ recurring revenue streams versus prior periods.
