Management Commentary

"The third quarter showcased a significant development across our technological capabilities with the successful deployment of our proprietary derived digital credential for mobile devices, MobileAnchor," said WidePoint's CEO Jin Kang. "Since its launch in late July, demand for MobileAnchor has been strong, as we closed two new contracts this quarter. MobileAnchor opens an additional high-growth opportunity for WidePoint and will be a key part of our sales and marketing strategy, helping us secure managed services work under the Spiral 4 contract. It also strengthens WidePoint's positioning for the upcoming CWMS 3.0 recompete and SEWP VI contracts. Our sales and marketing team, PMO model, and ongoing technological innovation continue to drive our robust sales pipeline. As we approach year-end, we are on trending towards the higher end of our annual guidance and are confident in carrying our growth momentum into 2025."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

WidePoint uses a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cashflow, 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 and Free cashflow is provided below:

WidePoint uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free cashflow 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 charges. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain amounts included in EBITDA such as stock based compensation expense. WidePoint defined Free cashflow as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures. Management believes that adjustments for certain non-cash or other items and the exclusion of certain pass-through revenue and expenses should enhance stockholders' ability to evaluate the Company's performance, as such measures provide additional insights into the factors and trends affecting its business. Therefore, the Company excludes these items from its GAAP financial measures to calculate these unaudited non-GAAP measures. These unaudited non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for GAAP.
