Management Comment
WidePoint CEO Steve Komar said, “We continue to see overall momentum improvement occurring throughout the enterprise, and our outlook for 2009 remains solidly positive. Double-digit growth in all three of our operating segments produced a fourth consecutive quarter of net income and three quarters of accelerating net income performance in 2009. The opportunities within our Mobile Telecom Managed Services segment continue to look promising in the federal sector and we are pleased with what we are witnessing in the early stage development of the state and local municipalities marketplace. The opportunities within our PKI Credentialing segment also look exciting, as we expect the programs and our affiliations with our partners to further support and widen our sales reach and long-term growth prospects in this segment.”
WidePoint CFO Jim McCubbin said, “The quarter produced positive results in virtually all of our company’s financial metrics. Revenue, operating income, net income and margins were all improved, as was our balance sheet, which showed gains in working capital, as well as debt reduction and improvement in shareholder equity. Our Mobile Telecom Managed Services segment was up 28% on revenue of nearly $6.8 million for the quarter. The PKI Credentialing and Managed Services segment recorded a 34% revenue increase to almost $1.6 million and our Consulting Services segment was up 26% to $3.0 million for the quarter. This was the result of both new contract awards and renewals along with expansion work. Our business model continues to benefit from the economies of scale we are realizing within our two managed services segments that are driving the growth in our margins and our net income.”
