With all that said, I would now like to turn the call over to Alison Forsythe, Intellinetics President and CEO. Alison, the call is yours.

[Alison Forsythe, President and CEO at Intellinetics]

Thanks, Joe. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I am now approximately 90 days into the role as CEO of Intellinetics, and I feel even more confident today in our ability to grow our SaaS business. Our products deliver meaningful value to customers, 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.

[Alison Forsythe, President and CEO at Intellinetics]

Intellinetics has a differentiated technology platform, long-standing customer relationships, and significant opportunities to expand our SaaS and software business in targeted vertical markets. At the same time, it has become increasingly clear that there are meaningful opportunities to improve execution, operational consistency, predictability, and overall go-to-market effectiveness across the organization. We are moving quickly to strengthen alignment, improve our operating discipline, and better position the business for scalable long-term growth. Looking ahead, our priorities are clear: accelerating our SaaS growth, improving execution consistency and predictability, and aligning resources around our highest priority growth opportunities. With that, I'll turn it over to Joe to walk through the financials in more detail.

[Joe Spain, CFO at Intellinetics]

Thanks, Alison. I will now review our financial results for the first quarter of 2026 in a bit more detail. Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter decreased 8% to $3.9 million, as compared to $4.2 million for the same period last year. The following are the material components of our revenue as presented on our statements of operations. SaaS revenue remained stable year-over-year at approximately $1.5 million. While growth moderated during the quarter, recurring software revenue continues to represent an important and growing component of our overall business mix. Software maintenance services were down as expected, decreasing $39,000 or 11.6% from 2025. As a reminder, these maintenance revenues are from support agreements with longtime customers continuing on our legacy premise solution.

[Joe Spain, CFO at Intellinetics]

Professional services revenue decreased 14.3% to $1.9 million for the quarter, from $2.2 million for the same period last year. As a percentage of total revenue, professional services revenue was 47% of total revenue for the quarter, compared to 51% last year. As mentioned on our call at the end of March, this revenue line has not yet recovered to a level we expected following the June 2025 renewal of our largest customer's contract. Consolidated gross margin percent decreased 307 basis points to 63.5% for Q1 this year, compared to 56.6% last year. The decrease was driven by lower professional services volume and project mix. Importantly, our software margins in both SaaS and maintenance remained solid.

[Joe Spain, CFO at Intellinetics]

Operating expenses increased 4.4% to $3.7 million for Q1 2026, compared to $3.5 million for 2025. The increase was primarily driven by CEO transition-related costs during the quarter, totaling $430,000, including share-based compensation. These one-time costs were partially offset by other lower administrative and sales and marketing expenses. Net loss for Q1 was $1.2 million, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million for the same period last year. The primary drivers were the one-time CEO transition cost of $430,000, as well as reduced professional services revenue from our document services segment. Loss per share was $0.27 per share compared to loss per share of $0.17 last year.

[Joe Spain, CFO at Intellinetics]

Our Adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter was $288,000, compared to Adjusted EBITDA profit of $77,000 in the same period last year, reflecting the same drivers just mentioned. Next, I'll turn to a brief overview of our balance sheet. At March 31, 2026, we had cash of $2.1 million and accounts receivable net of $1.2 million. Our total assets were $16.5 million, including $8.6 million in intangible assets and goodwill as part of acquisitions made since 2020. Total liabilities were $5.8 million, including $2.9 million in deferred revenues, reflecting signed SaaS and maintenance contracts. We had no debt as of March 31, 2026, nor any borrowings to date. I want to wrap up with a brief financial outlook.

[Joe Spain, CFO at Intellinetics]

Based on our current plans and assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties we described in our filings and this call, management remains focused on accelerating SaaS growth and currently expects double-digit year-over-year SaaS growth for fiscal 2026. Now back to Alison for some final remarks.

[Alison Forsythe, President and CEO at Intellinetics]

Thanks, Joe. Before we close, I want to leave you with a few final thoughts. As iterated before, my early assessment reinforces that Intellinetics has strong foundational assets, differentiated technology, attractive vertical market opportunities, and meaningful long-term SaaS growth potential. At the same time, we see clear opportunities to improve execution, operational consistency, and our overall go-to-market effectiveness across the organization. Our focus now is straightforward. Improving execution, strengthening our operational discipline, accelerating SaaS growth, and positioning the business for more scalable and predictable long-term performance. We are moving with urgency, and I look forward to updating investors on our progress in the quarters ahead. Bailey, I will now turn the call back over to you.
