Management Commentary

"WidePoint had another consecutive quarter of strong results, as we remain steadfast on the path of our growth trajectory," said WidePoint CEO, Jin Kang. "The strategic investments made back into our business over the past several years have resulted in the development of our solutions such as ITMS™ and IAM solutions which are some of the reasons we're able to win deals with prospective customers and retain existing ones. The constant improvement of our technology paired with the cross-selling capabilities we're able to execute upon with ITA has resulted in another successful quarter. Additionally, with the positive effects of our realignment slated to impact our P&L over the coming quarters, we expect EBITDA to steadily increase with a significant decrease in our cash burn rate. WidePoint remains a stable, resilient company with a strong balance sheet, no long-term debt and an organization that is laser focused on capitalizing on its growing pipeline."

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:

NET (LOSS) INCOME	$	(540,900	)	$	534,900		$	(14,693,000	)	$	915,600
Adjustments to reconcile net income to EBITDA:
Depreciation and amortization		639,100			396,800			1,772,000			1,140,900

Stock-based compensation expense		115,200			235,400			384,300			662,100

Adjusted EBITDA	$	152,200		$	1,466,500		$	502,500		$	3,227,600

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 and (iii) depreciation and amortization. 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).
