Intrinsyc Reports 2010 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Financial Results; Company Achieves Seventh Consecutive Quarter of Positive EBITDA


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 23, 2011) - Intrinsyc Software International, Inc. (TSX:ICS), a leading provider of software solutions for mobile devices, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010, reported in United States dollars and in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company's results are presented in comparison to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009.

"We achieved our seventh consecutive quarter and the first full year of positive EBITDA," stated Tracy Rees, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Although the challenges in the navigation software industry negatively impacted our software revenue, the company continued to operate with high efficiency and benefited from our leadership in Android media tablet development with new tablet and eReader customer wins, including the high margin contribution from a royalty based project during the second half of the year." "Our focus in 2011 is to continue our leadership in Android media tablet development, while expanding opportunities in new markets like Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications and automotive infotainment, and enhancing our products and services portfolio."

Q4 2010 Comparative Results

The Company reported revenue of approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to approximately $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The decline in revenue is primarily attributable to the decline in revenues of the Destinator® navigation software. Total revenue attributable to the Company's Software Solutions was 17 percent of revenues, compared to 52 percent in the comparative quarter with revenue attributable to the Company's Device Development Solutions increasing to 82 percent in the three months ended December 31, 2010 from 42 percent in the prior year period. Overall, gross margin was 63 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 representing a slight increase from 60 percent in the three months ended December 31, 2009.

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a non-cash expense of approximately $2.5 million due to the write down of intangible assets associated with Destinator software acquired in 2008.

Total operating expenses, excluding amortization, stock-based compensation, TPC royalty, asset impairment, restructuring charges and loss (gain) on disposal of equipment, for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were approximately $1.6 million representing a decrease of 19 percent from the approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Earnings before interest, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, asset impairment, loss (gain) on disposal of equipment, foreign exchange loss (gain), TPC royalty, and income tax ("EBITDA") for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $243,902 compared to EBITDA of $314,938 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $11.2 million with net working capital of approximately $11.6 million as of December 31, 2010 compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $11.7 million with net working capital of approximately $11.3 million as of December 31, 2009.

Fiscal 2010 Comparative Results

The Company reported revenue of approximately $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to approximately $17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Total revenue attributable to the Company's Software Solutions decreased to 31 percent of revenues, including software licensing, maintenance/support and software-related services, as compared to 44 percent in the respective comparative period. Gross margin was 57 percent for the year ended December 31, 2010, consistent with 56 percent in the year ended December 31, 2009.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a non-cash expense of approximately $2.5 million due to the write down of intangible assets acquired in 2008. In addition, the Company incurred total restructuring charges during this period of approximately $485,000 resulting from the cost reduction initiatives previously announced by the Company in February 2010.

Total operating expenses, excluding amortization, stock-based compensation, TPC royalty, asset impairment, restructuring charges and loss (gain) on disposal of equipment, for the year ended December 31, 2010 were approximately $6.9 million, compared to approximately $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
