2022 Other Highlights

• On April 1, 2022 we completed the acquisition of Yellow Folder, LLC. This acquisition more than doubled software as a service (SaaS) revenues, added positive cash flow in the three months ended June 30, 2022, and approximately doubled our customer count in the K-12 education market.
• Simultaneously with the acquisition, we completed $8.7 million in equity and debt financing.
• SAAS revenues continue to be strong for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, growing 166% including the Yellow Folder acquisition and growing 34% organically.
  

“Our transition to a diversified, SaaS-focused model is accelerating and our Adjusted EBITDA is expanding,” commented James F. DeSocio, President & CEO of Intellinetics. “Year-to-date, we have sold $6.3 million in total contract value across all products and services, which is 9% more than we sold in all of FY21. Total Contract Value represents orders secured by the sales team, generally recognizable in revenue over a period of less than one year. Our Adjusted EBITDA through the first nine months exceeds the total amount generated in all of last year, and our quarterly Adjusted EBITDA reached an all-time high of $799,359 (21% of total revenues) in the third quarter. We have built a sustainable, cash-generating business with a growing base of recurring revenue, creating significant visibility. With more than 500 customers in the K-12 education market alone, and durable, secular catalysts driving demand for our digital transformation capabilities, we are increasingly well-positioned for success.”

“The Yellow Folder acquisition has been a compelling success, giving us broad access to the vibrant K-12 education market and expanding our cross-selling opportunities for document conversion scanning, document storage, and business process outsourcing,” added DeSocio. “Since April, we’ve utilized our internal document scanning operations to process three separate projects that Yellow Folder would have historically outsourced, for a Total Contract Value of approximately $152,000.”

DeSocio continued, “We continue to drive adoption of our core IntelliCloud^TM Payables Automation Solution (IPAS), launched earlier this year, including showcasing this solution as a Platinum Sponsor at the Build Smarter 2022 Conference in Chicago and expanding our collaboration with Constellation HomeBuilder Systems, part of the $5 billion Constellation Software family. As part of this, a new IPAS customer is sharing their success story. IPAS is a new, enterprise-class software payables automation solution for financial platforms with very complex cost-accounting. New software offerings expand our paths to market, and grow our revenue per customer, especially with software partnerships like ours with Constellation HomeBuilder Systems, where we can embed our technology and scale customer acquisition as part of an ongoing process.”

“Based on our current plans and assumptions, we expect to continue to grow revenues and Adjusted EBITDA on a year over year basis,” concluded DeSocio.

Summary – 2022 Third Quarter Results

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $3.9 million, an increase of 22% compared with $3.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was largely driven by our acquisition of Yellow Folder in April 2022. In addition to our acquisition growth, our SaaS and software maintenance revenues continued to grow. Professional services decreased, primarily driven by challenges in staffing back up after COVID reductions over the winter, due to the tight labor market. Intellinetics reported net income of $217,536, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a net income of $296,437, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period in 2021. The third quarter of last year included lower interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA increased 48% to $799,359, compared to $538,488 from the same period in 2021.

Summary – 2022 Nine Month Results

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $10.0 million, up 14% compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was largely driven by our acquisition of Yellow Folder in April 2022. Intellinetics reported a net loss of $176,757, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the same period in 2021. The net loss was the result of transaction costs of $355,281 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (compared to none in the same period in 2021), incurred in support of our acquisition on April 1, 2022, as well as a $67,788 increase in charges related to change in fair value of earnout, as well as $254,191 in increased interest expense. In addition, the nine-month period last year included a $845,000 gain on extinguishment of debt related to the PPP loan. Adjusted EBITDA increased 29% to $1.7 million, compared to $1.3 million from the same period in 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Intellinetics uses non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Total Contract Value 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.

Total Contract Value: Total Contract Value is a performance measure that the Company believes provides useful information to its management and investors as it allows the Company to better track the Company’s current sales performance, without any adjustment to exclude revenues that will not be earned, received, or recognized until future periods. Total Contract Value is not a substitute for total revenue. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to Total Contract Value, so the Company has not reconciled the Total Contract Value to any GAAP measure.

We define Total Contract Value as the estimated total future revenues from contracts signed during the period. This refers to deals that have been awarded by our government and commercial customers. It presumes the future provision of all software, subscription services, and/or professional services without any termination of the contracts by either party. There can be no guarantee that all work will be completed, during any fiscal period, or that the contracts will not be terminated before all the estimated future revenues are earned, received, and/or recognized.
