Intrusion Inc. (INTZ) Q1 2026 loss deepens as revenue falls 50% but new deals land
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Intrusion Inc. reported weak first quarter 2026 results as revenue fell sharply while losses widened, but management highlighted new contracts and financing that they believe support a path to profitability later in the year.
Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $0.9 million, down about 50% from $1.8 million a year earlier, mainly due to delays in a key U.S. government contract. Gross profit was $0.7 million with a 74% margin, slightly lower than the prior year.
Operating expenses rose to $4.2 million, leading to a larger operating loss of $3.6 million and a net loss of $3.6 million, or $(0.18) per share, versus a $2.1 million loss, or $(0.11) per share, in 2025. Cash and cash equivalents were $1.4 million at quarter‑end.
To bolster liquidity, Intrusion entered into a $3 million secured financing agreement in early April 2026. The company also secured a $4 million contract with a state government agency for its cyber threat intelligence and critical infrastructure protection technology and is expanding its P.O.S.S.E. law enforcement security program, which management says underpins expectations of reaching profitability by the end of fiscal 2026.
Positive
- New $4 million government contract: Intrusion secured a $4 million contract with a state government agency for cyber threat intelligence and critical infrastructure protection, providing a sizeable multi-period revenue opportunity relative to current quarterly sales.
- $3 million secured financing agreement: The company entered a $3 million secured financing facility in early April 2026, which strengthens its liquidity position and supports near‑term operating and strategic priorities.
Negative
- Revenue down 50% year over year: First quarter 2026 revenue was $0.9 million versus $1.8 million in 2025, reflecting significant impact from delays in the award of a key U.S. government contract.
- Wider net loss despite higher spending: Net loss increased to $3.6 million, or $(0.18) per share, from $2.1 million or $(0.11) per share, as operating expenses rose to $4.2 million and outpaced gross profit.
- Reduced cash balance: Cash and cash equivalents declined to $1.4 million at March 31, 2026 from $3.6 million at December 31, 2025, underscoring the company’s dependence on new financing and contract inflows.
Insights
Revenue halved and losses widened, but new contracts and financing extend Intrusion’s runway.
Intrusion Inc. delivered Q1 2026 revenue of $0.9M, down about 50% year over year, as delays in a key U.S. government contract weighed on results. Operating expenses increased to $4.2M, driving a net loss of $3.6M versus $2.1M a year earlier.
Liquidity is tight with cash of $1.4M at March 31, 2026, but the company subsequently entered a $3M secured financing agreement to support near‑term operations. A newly awarded $4M state government contract and the P.O.S.S.E program create a clearer near‑term revenue pipeline, though execution on these wins and timing of delayed federal awards remain important variables.
Management reiterates an expectation of achieving profitability by the end of fiscal 2026, based on continued adoption of Shield technology and contract momentum. The actual trajectory will depend on contract conversion, funding approvals, and cost control, which investors can track in upcoming quarterly disclosures for 2026.

Exhibit 99.1
Intrusion Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
Continued adoption of Shield technology supports the Company’s expected transition to profitability in fiscal 2026
PLANO, Texas, May 14, 2026 (ACCESSWIRE) -- Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ: INTZ) (“Intrusion” or the “Company”), a leader in cyberattack prevention solutions, announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Recent Financial & Business Highlights:
| · | Secured a $4 million contract to deliver our cyber threat intelligence and critical infrastructure protection technology to a state government agency. | |
| · | Entered into a $3 million secured financing agreement to strengthen liquidity position and support near-term operating priorities. | |
| · | Launched the P.O.S.S.E (Protecting Our Sheriff's Security Everywhere) Program in February through a partnership with PortNexus that utilizes Shield On-Premise to help protect law enforcement from cyber threats. |
“Our first quarter results primarily reflect the timing impact of the previously disclosed contract extension delay related to our critical infrastructure technology with the Department of War that was driven by federal funding and procurement delays,” said Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion. “We expect to recover this revenue in future periods as federal funding resumes and procurement activity returns to more typical levels. Furthermore, we continue to remain confident that we will see further expansion of our critical infrastructure solution both domestically and internationally with the Department of War throughout 2026 and beyond.”
Mr. Scott concluded, “As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal year 2026, we are optimistic that we will see an improvement in our financial results. This is supported by strengthening sales momentum, including broader adoption of the P.O.S.S.E Program through our partnership with PortNexus, and the recent award of a $4 million contract to provide our cyber threat intelligence and critical infrastructure protection solutions to a state government agency. These developments give us great confidence that Intrusion remains on track to achieve profitability by the end of the fiscal year and deliver value for our shareholders.”
First Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was approximately $0.9 million, representing a decrease of 50% on a year-over-year basis. Performance continued to be impacted by delays in the award of a key U.S. government contract. The Company remains optimistic that a meaningful portion of the associated revenue will be realized in future periods subject to final award timing and funding approvals.
The gross profit margin was 74% for the first quarter of 2026, down slightly from the prior year period. Gross margin varies based on product mix.
Operating expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $4.2 million, up $0.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $3.6 million, or $(0.18) per share, which is down $1.5 million when compared to prior year performance.
As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $1.4 million. In early April, the Company entered into a $3 million secured financing agreement, strengthening its liquidity position and supporting near-term operating priorities. The facility provides additional financial flexibility to execute on strategic initiatives.
