Alison Forsythe, President & CEO of Intellinetics, stated: “I am now 90 days into the role as CEO of Intellinetics and I feel even more confident in our ability to grow our SaaS business. Our products offer great value to the user, are highly sticky within customer workflows, and address attractive market opportunities. Based on what I have seen in my first 90 days, I believe we can deliver double digit year over year SaaS growth in 2026 over 2025.”

“Having joined Intellinetics in mid-February, my initial focus has been on evaluating the business, meeting with employees, customers, and partners, and assessing our operational and go-to-market priorities. While first quarter results reflect variability in professional services revenue and margins, my early assessment confirms the conclusions reached during the extensive diligence process completed before I accepted this role: Intellinetics has a differentiated technology platform, long-standing customer relationships, and significant opportunities to expand our SaaS and software business in targeted vertical markets.”

“In my first several weeks with the Company, it has become increasingly clear that there are significant opportunities to improve execution, operational consistency, predictability, and overall go-to-market effectiveness across the organization. We are moving quickly to strengthen alignment, improve operating discipline, and better position the business for scalable long-term growth.”

“Our software platform and recurring revenue business remain the core of our long-term strategy. Looking ahead, our focus is centered on accelerating SaaS growth, improving execution consistency and predictability, and aligning investments and resources around our highest-priority growth opportunities.”

Summary – 2026 First Quarter Results

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $3,909,182, a decrease of 8.0%, as compared with $4,247,345 for the same period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a 14.3% decline in professional services revenue.

Total operating expenses increased 4.4% to $3,664,611, compared to $3,511,759 for the same period in 2025, driven by increases in general and administrative expense of 9.1%, due to non-recurring expenses in Q1 related to our CEO transition, totaling $430,130, including severance costs and share-based compensation for our retiring CEO, overlapping compensation expenses for our prior and current CEO in the quarter, and recruiting costs for our new CEO, partially offset by reduced share-based compensation expense for other employees. Loss from operations was $1,182,552 compared to loss from operations of $684,559 in the first quarter last year, primarily due to the lower professional services revenues and non-recurring CEO transition costs.

Intellinetics reported net loss of $1,177,853 compared to net loss of $727,565 for the same period in 2025. Basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.27, compared to $0.17 net loss per basic and diluted share for the first quarter 2025. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $287,650 compared to Adjusted EBITDA profit of $76,589 in 2025.

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 Income, 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 (income) expense, any income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash share-based compensation, transaction costs, and CEO transition one-time costs (including overlapping wages and benefits, recruiting costs, legal costs, and severance costs including share-based compensation).
