"Our results for 2015 were lower than our initial expectations, but set the stage for continued growth and a return to operational profitability in 2016," stated Steve L. Komar, WidePoint's chief executive officer. Komar further added, "We continue to expand our relationships with vendors like Samsung, LG, and Kyocera, and we are jointly marketing our next-generation identity management services with them even while we work to add new partners. We remain confident in our solutions and in the demand we see for them in the market today and in the future, in both the government and commercial sectors."

James McCubbin, WidePoint CFO, added, "We were pleased with the improvement we witnessed in revenue growth and the decrease we saw in our losses when comparing our fourth quarter against our third quarter of 2015. In 2016, we are working towards an expansion of revenue and margins from sales of higher margin solutions and efficiencies we are expecting as a result of platform unification, process improvements, and increase in critical mass. These improvements coupled with an initiative to streamline our sales, general, and administrative costs should drive positive performance in our financial model in 2016 as we push towards our goal of achieving operational profitability."
