Management Commentary

“We continue to execute our growth strategy for organic and inorganic growth by investing back into our business and by operating our business in a profitable manner,” said WidePoint’s CEO, Jin Kang. “Even with the persisting macroeconomic headwinds, our business is stable and profitable thanks to the proactive measures our team has put in place to minimize costs and maximize synergies internally. It has been encouraging to witness the previous investments made into our business bearing fruit as a result of an expanding sales pipeline and a greater percentage of those sales opportunities getting close to execution.

 

“Additionally, with the integration of ITA nearing completion and the progress we are experiencing on leveraging upsell and cross-sell opportunities, we intend to find other organizations akin to ITA to fulfill our inorganic growth plan. With this dynamic transformation of our company, more specifically, bringing Information Technology as a Service or ITaaS under the WidePoint umbrella, and further focusing on our cybersecurity capabilities and broadening our customer base, we are maximizing our opportunities for future growth. This upcoming year, as we ramp up multiple go-to-market strategies and invest in high ROI initiatives, we are primed to maximize WidePoint’s potential.”

Financial Outlook

The company expects to grow its managed services revenues 5-10% and will provide full guidance for 2022 during its Q1 2022 earnings call.

 

Suspension of Share Repurchase Program

The company had reinstated its prior share repurchase program which was suspended on March 9, 2020 as a precaution due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following such reinstatement, the Board of Directors increased the size of the repurchase program to $5.0 million, increasing the amount available for repurchases to $4.6 million. Under the share repurchase program, repurchases of the issued and outstanding shares would be made from time-to-time in open market and privately negotiated transactions. In the quarter ended December 31, 2021, WidePoint repurchased 299,494 shares at an average price of $4.14. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the company repurchased an additional 196,586 shares at an average price of $4.11. In March of 2022, the board suspended the repurchase plan in order to use the company’s excess funds to invest into the business.

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 and (iii) depreciation and amortization. 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).
