Management Comment

WidePoint CEO Steve Komar said, “We were pleased with the financial performance in the first quarter of 2009. Each of our segments realized internally generated growth, with revenue gains in our Mobile Telecom Managed Services (MTMS), PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Credentialing and Managed Services and Consulting segments.

“Our MTMS services revenue grew 42% to approximately $6.4 million as a result of continued adoption by U.S. government agencies and departments. Our PKI credentialing services segment was up 85% to $1.4 million as we continued to witness the implementation of several federally sponsored programs. Our Consulting services segment witnessed revenue growth of approximately 25% to $2.4 million as we saw a bottoming and signs of a turnaround in demand from both government and commercial clients,” Komar said.

WidePoint CFO Jim McCubbin said, “We were pleased with the revenue growth and margin improvements we witnessed during the first quarter of 2009. While we anticipate these trends should continue, we could possibly experience some unevenness in future quarters attributable to delivery timeframes controlled by our external partners and clients. We were also pleased to see another quarter of profitability along with working capital improvements that included the payoff of approximately $2.2 million dollars in subordinated debt during the quarter. Overall, we continue to maintain a positive outlook for further revenue growth and positive financial improvements in 2009.”
