Management Commentary

"We've experienced a period of financial growth in our businesses thanks to the execution of our strategic plan and the investments we have made back into the business beginning to bear fruit," said WidePoint CEO, Jin Kang. "Not only have we achieved our 24^th consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA, but we're continuing to exceed customer service level agreements and are renewing materially all of our customers that are up for contract renewals, and in some cases, even expanding the scope of services we provide. We're moving full steam ahead on the sales and marketing front, especially within the healthcare and education sectors. We believe that we are approaching an inflection point here at WidePoint and look forward to this next chapter in our corporate history of growth."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

WidePoint uses a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to enable it to analyze its performance and financial condition. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP Net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is provided below:

Adjustments to reconcile net income to EBITDA:
Depreciation and amortization		771,700			581,100			1,540,100			1,132,900
Income tax provision (benefit)		48,800			(3,240,800	)		55,100			(3,291,900	)

Stock-based compensation expense		95,500			89,400			235,600			269,100

Adjusted EBITDA	$	140,458		$	5,900		$	160,358		$	350,300

WidePoint uses Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental non-GAAP measure of performance. WidePoint defines EBITDA as net income excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) provision for or benefit from income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, and (iv) Impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain amounts included in EBITDA. WidePoint is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA in reliance on the "unreasonable efforts" exception for forward-looking non-GAAP measures set forth in SEC rules because certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated without unreasonable effort and expense. In this regard, WidePoint does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to GAAP net income, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Because certain deductions for non-GAAP exclusions used to calculate projected net income may vary significantly based on actual events, WidePoint is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income at this time. The amounts of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected GAAP net income being materially less than is indicated by estimated adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP).
