Management Commentary

"2020 was the most successful year in WidePoint's history as we set records in each of our financial performance metrics, during a pandemic, while seamlessly managing the largest mobility managed service project in the country," said WidePoint's CEO, Jin Kang. "In 2020, our total revenues increased to $180 million, while our managed services revenues increased 29% year-over-year. The increase in our higher margin managed services business coupled with a minimal increase in our operating expenses demonstrates the leverage we have in our business model. Our ability to efficiently scale drove $2.1 million in net income, excluding our non-cash tax benefit, which is an 830% increase in net income from 2019, as well as a 59% increase in adjusted EBITDA to $5.7 million, which was right at the top end of our expected range.

"At the end of the year, we were awarded the much-anticipated CWMS 2.0 contract from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, securing our position with one of our most prominent customers. That momentum has carried into 2021 with several wins for both our Identity Management and Digital Billing and Analytics businesses, both of which remain in high demand as we offer effective solutions to many of the challenges large government and commercial enterprises face in the modern, mobile world.

"Our primary objective for 2021 is to profitably grow WidePoint by focusing on our core competencies, by strengthening our technical capabilities, and by enhancing our organization with an accretive acquisition. With a robust client base and over 90% customer retention, demand for our solutions increasing, and a balance sheet with $16 million in cash and no debt, we are confident that we will be able to execute on our strategy in 2021 and continue driving value for our shareholders."
