    --  Received a Task Order renewal under our $600 Million Blanket Purchase

    --  Continued to work closely with three leading device manufacturers and
        several carriers and other channel partners in expectation of booking
        initial Certificate-on-Device(TM) revenues in the second quarter 2015.

First Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights


    --  Net revenue increased 84% to $17.7 million from $9.6 million in the
        first quarter of 2014.

        approximately $1.1 million to $3.9 million from $2.8 million in the
        first quarter of 2014.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA loss improved approximately $350,000 to $665,200 from

"We were pleased with our results in the first quarter of 2015 with slightly higher revenues than we had expected," stated Steve L. Komar, WidePoint's chief executive officer. Komar further added, "We remain on plan to continue to expand our DHS task order awards and launch our next-generation identity management offerings following Certificate-on-Device, while continuing our efforts at expanding our state/local and commercial footprints."

James McCubbin, WidePoint CFO, added, "Our first quarter revenues have us entering 2015 at an approximate $70+ million run-rate up from approximately a $40 million run-rate at this time last year. With a target revenue goal of 50% growth for 2015 over last year's $53 million in revenues, we believe we are off to a good start and on plan to reach our revenue goals. Furthermore, we believe our gross profit on both an absolute basis and percentage basis will expand as we bring on our higher-margin next-generation identity management services, reach critical mass in our DHS work, and expand our state/local and commercial mix. Coupling this with a leveling-off of our SG&A expenses, we believe we should witness positive financial results and demonstrate financial leverage within our business model."
