First Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights


    --  Net revenue increased approximately $2.8 million or 16% to $20.5 million
        from $17.7 million in the first quarter of 2015, materially driven by
        increases in DHS BPA task orders and other identity management awards
        that were partially offset by decreases in software reselling activities
    --  Gross profit increased approximately $600,000 or 18% to $4.2 million
        from $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2015, materially driven by a
        greater mix of higher margin identity management and telecom services,
        which partially offset a reduction in lower margin software reselling
        revenues
    --  Adjusted EBITDA Loss improved approximately $496,000 to ($169,000) from
        ($665,000) in the first quarter of 2015, notwithstanding an increase of
        approximately $189,000 in product development investments made in
        support of our next-generation identity management services
    --  Net Loss improved approximately $500,000 to ($660,000) compared to net
        loss of approximately ($1.2 million) in the first quarter of 2015, or
        basic and diluted loss per share of $0.008 per share compared to $0.014
        in the first quarter of 2015

"We reported a strong and improving quarter driven by double-digit revenue growth and improved gross profit, demonstrating significant progress and bolstering our optimism for achieving our stated full-year goals," stated Steve L. Komar, WidePoint's chief executive officer. "We have invested in our next-generation solutions, including securing leading technology partners, and we continue to expand these relationships. We believe we are reaching a maturation point with several of our larger partners, which should help us drive additional revenue growth."

James McCubbin, WidePoint's chief financial officer, added, "Our strong revenue and gross profit growth led to substantial improvements in both our operating losses and adjusted EBITDA loss in the first quarter. This progress does not yet reflect cost reduction efforts we have recently initiated, involving rationalization of our sales, marketing, general, and administrative expenses, and we expect this initiative to benefit the remainder of 2016."
