James F. DeSocio, President & CEO of Intellinetics, stated, “This was a milestone year for Intellinetics, as we expanded our base of recurring SaaS revenue, making our business more predictable and increasingly profitable. Our SaaS revenue continues to grow faster than our consolidated revenue. From this position of strength, we enter 2024 with increasing confidence that our new payables automation offering, IPAS, will become a more meaningful contributor to our results, adding another SaaS revenue stream to our profile.”
“For the year, we delivered double-digit increases in revenue, net income, and Adjusted EBITDA, with only a modest contribution from IPAS,” continued Mr. DeSocio. “This progress enabled us to pay down debt, strengthen our balance sheet and invest in sales and marketing initiatives to support IPAS and YellowFolder.”
Summary – 2023 Fourth Quarter Results
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2023 were $4,192,689, an increase of 3.8%, as compared with $4,038,146 for the same period in 2022. This organic increase was driven by an 8.8% increase in SaaS revenue, and a 4.7% increase in professional services fees, partially offset by lower sales of licensed software as the Company continued to shift its focus to recurring revenue.
Total operating expenses increased 17.0% to $2,540,565, compared to $2,171,576 driven by increases in stock expense of $194,541 and depreciation and amortization of $66,614 (all non-cash expenses). Income from operations was $181,527 compared to $410,542 in the fourth quarter last year.
Intellinetics reported net income of $61,638, down 69% compared to $200,784 for the same period in 2022. Basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was $0.02 and $0.01, respectively, compared to $0.05 per basic and $0.04 per fully diluted share for the period ended December 31, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was $754,375 compared to $670,321 in 2022.
“Importantly, our first two IPAS customers were both live and successfully running in the fourth quarter,” added Mr. DeSocio. .
Summary – 2023 Full-Year Results
Yellow Folder, acquired April 1, 2022, contributed $3,613,764 in revenue in the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $2,460,474 in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. Inclusive of the contribution from Yellow Folder, revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $16,886,381, an increase of 20.5% as compared with $14,016,928 for the same period in 2022. Total operating expenses increased 17.0% to $9,456,486, compared to $8,081,837. Income from operations was $1,107,469, an increase of 33.9% compared to income from operations of $827,321 for last year. Intellinetics reported net income of $519,266, or $0.13 per basic and $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $24,027, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was $2,744,649 compared to $2,413,901.
2024 Outlook
Based on management’s current plans and assumptions, the Company reiterated expectations that it will grow revenues and EBITDA on a year-over-year basis for the fiscal year 2024.
“Our IPAS offering provides customers with an almost instant positive return, and offers our company an organic growth opportunity to more than double our SaaS revenue over the next four to five years,” continued Mr. DeSocio. “We view IPAS as a transformative opportunity for our company, and we plan to make investments to position the product for as rapid an adoption as we can drive. Even with these investments, 2024 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow on a year-over-year basis, as we focus on making all the early adopters of IPAS happy, we round out its capabilities and set the stage for wholesale adoption in select ERP ecosystems over the next 4-5 years.”
We will be prepaying $500,000 of our long term debt shortly, and expect to have no net debt at the end of 2024.

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 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.

Note 1 – Software as a service non-recurring revenue is comprised of professional services setup fees which are recognized ratably over the initial contract period. They do not renew, and are therefore non-recurring. Under ASC 606, they are deemed essential to the functionality of the subscription Software as a service, and are therefore recognized together with the subscription Software as a service revenue.
Total Contract Value: Estimated total future revenues from contracts signed during the period. This refers to contracts or projects that have been awarded by our customers, and it presumes the provision of all software, subscription services, and/or professional services, with no termination of any awarded contracts. 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. 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 includes new sales in all our revenue categories, including SaaS, perpetual software licenses, maintenance, storage and retrieval, and professional services, to new or existing customers. It excludes renewals (and price increases on renewals if any). 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.
