Management Comment

WidePoint CEO Steve Komar said, “We are quite pleased to report our third consecutive quarter of bottom line net income, which exceeded $250,000. We outperformed last year’s second quarter by $429,000 and almost doubled our first quarter profit performance. This result featured net profit from operations at each of our business segments. In our Managed Telecom and PKI Credentialing strategic growth segments, we realized 48% and 30% revenue gains, respectively, over last year’s second quarter. Our overall revenue result was constrained by a decrease at our Consulting Services business segment tied primarily to deferred spending in software/development programs. Nevertheless, net operating margins continued to improve and speak well for our internal forecasts of revenue growth and increased profitability for the second half of 2009. We continue to aggressively market our capabilities to our target markets, and to our existing customer base. During the second quarter, we added new clients and expanded existing relationships in each of our segments. We continue to expand our distribution channels to ensure our ability to effectively respond as the demand for our products and services continues to expand.”

WidePoint CFO Jim McCubbin said, “We were pleased to see continued revenue, margin and income growth in our second quarter and first half of 2009 as compared to the same period last year. Looking at the comparisons of our second quarter 2009 to our first quarter 2009 performance we were also pleased to witness our revenue growth and economies of scale within our two managed service segments drive margin improvements in our gross margins. These improvements predominantly found their way into our net income and bode well for our financial model in the future as revenue growth and new contract wins should continue to expand margins and bottom line performance.”

WidePoint will hold a conference call with CEO Steve Komar, CFO Jim McCubbin and Jin Kang, president of the company’s Mobile Telecom Expense Management subsidiary iSYS, today, August 17, at 4:30 p.m. EDT.
