Management Commentary

"We finished off 2022 on a high note, as we met both guidance targets with full year revenue of $94.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 million thanks to the continued operational excellence of our team in conjunction with our growing sales pipeline," said WidePoint CEO, Jin Kang. "That same momentum has carried over into 2023 as we're seeing strong renewal rates with existing customers thanks to the continued upsell and cross-selling opportunities we provide, supplemented by net new federal government and commercial enterprise customers wins we're procuring. We are making significant progress across all fronts of our business with a leaner workforce and remain well-capitalized and financially sustainable. Looking ahead, our team will continue to steadfastly execute our organic growth strategy, while meticulously vetting M&A targets for our inorganic initiative."

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:

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 charge. 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).
