What drove it
- Company explanation: revenue growth was driven by the first full quarter of revenue contributions from the VigilAigent acquisition and the State of Texas contract.

- Company explanation: excluding VigilAigent, operating expenses from legacy Intrusion operations decreased approximately $0.2 million, or 5%, year over year.
- Company explanation: the release says the company reduced headcount, contractor and discretionary marketing spending, and exchanged a portion of management and Board cash compensation for equity to conserve cash.

- Operating expense trajectory, including the legacy cost reductions the company cites and the roughly $0.8 million of quarterly opex attributed to VigilAigent.

Analysis
Intrusion reported Q3 2026 revenue of $2,680 thousand, up 36% year over year from $1,966 thousand and up 84% sequentially. The company attributes the increase to the first full quarter of VigilAigent revenue and the State of Texas contract, and the CEO says legacy revenue approached prior-year levels. The release does not print the Q2 2026 revenue figure, so the sequential growth cannot be checked against a dollar amount in the document. Nine-month revenue was $5,021 thousand, against $5,614 thousand a year earlier.
Profitability weakened on several lines. Gross profit was $1,477 thousand, nearly flat with $1,505 thousand a year earlier, while cost of revenue rose to $1,203 thousand from $461 thousand. Gross profit margin fell to 55%, from 66% in Q2 2026 and 77% in the prior year period. The company says the decline reflects a mix shift toward lower-margin managed services from VigilAigent. Total operating expense was $4.3 million, up $0.8 million sequentially and $0.6 million year over year. The release attributes approximately $0.8 million of operating expense to VigilAigent and says legacy operating expense fell about 5% year over year. Operating loss was $(2,798) thousand, against $(2,136) thousand a year earlier. Interest expense was $(397) thousand, against $(17) thousand, and the net loss attributable to Intrusion was $(2,901) thousand, or $(0.12) per share, against $(2,094) thousand, or $(0.10) per share.
The balance sheet shows strain. Cash was $400 thousand at September 30, 2026, against $3,624 thousand at December 31, 2025. Stockholders' equity was $2,848 thousand, against $7,277 thousand at year end. Notes payable were $3,292 thousand current and $1,479 thousand noncurrent, and accounts payable rose to $2,065 thousand from $492 thousand. The release states that the $4.0 million debt-for-equity exchange completed on October 29, 2026, together with a warrant inducement and ATM sales, lifted stockholders' equity above $5.0 million. The company says this allowed it to qualify for a 180-day Nasdaq extension on the minimum bid price requirement. The release does not quantify the warrant or ATM proceeds, and it provides no cash flow statement.
The release gives no forward guidance for revenue, margins, expenses or tax. Management's outlook is qualitative, pointing to pipeline opportunities and a stated commitment to profitability. Compared with the prior period, the main changes are the addition of VigilAigent revenue and cost, a lower gross margin, higher interest expense and a sharply smaller equity base. The figures that most merit attention are the gross margin trend, the cash balance, the debt and payables position, and whether the October capital actions hold equity above the threshold the company cites.
