WidePoint Reports 21% Q1 Revenue Growth to $40.6M with Net Income of $77K
WYY•WidePoint posted Q1 revenue of $40.6 million, a 21% year-over-year increase, and recorded net income of $77,000 (1 cent per share), its first profitable quarter since 2021. WidePoint is positioned for the CWMS 3.0 award and carrier contract revenue in H2 2026, despite gross margin pressure and higher compliance capex.
1. Q1 Financial Performance
WidePoint posted Q1 2026 revenue of $40.6 million, a 21% increase year-over-year, and recorded net income of $77,000 (1 cent per share), marking its first profitable quarter since 2021. Gross profit margin excluding carrier services declined to 34% from 37% last year, reflecting higher reselling revenues.
2. Strategic Contract Positioning
WidePoint is positioned to capture the CWMS 3.0 award, leveraging its services and DHS qualifications, though award timing depends on ICE and CBP funding. The company is on track to complete initial implementation of a major carrier contract, with revenue recognition scheduled for the second half of 2026, and has secured managed services with a leading national beverage bottler to optimize procurement.
3. Operational Challenges and Outlook
Billable service fees were reduced by the partial DHS shutdown, and the sales cycle for the DAS pipeline remains slow due to customer schedules. Capital spending rose on compliance software and tools, and accelerated cybersecurity requirements may drive further increases in capex.
