Teleconferência de Resultados do 2T26 da WidePoint (WYY): CWMS 3.0 e ATV Impulsionam as Perspectivas

A WidePoint Corporation (NYSE American: WYY) divulgou aumento na receita, no lucro bruto e na geração de caixa no segundo trimestre encerrado em 30 de junho de 2026. A empresa também voltou a registrar lucratividade modesta enquanto se preparava para o potencial lançamento do contrato CWMS 3.0, de US$ 3,1 bilhões, e deu continuidade à implementação do seu contrato ATV de alta margem.

Destaques Principais

• A receita no 2º trimestre subiu para US$ 38,0 milhões, ante US$ 37,3 milhões no mesmo período do ano anterior, impulsionada pelo aumento na receita de serviços de operadoras e nas taxas de serviços gerenciados.
• O lucro bruto subiu para US$ 5,8 milhões, ou 15% da receita, ante US$ 5,1 milhões, ou 14%. Excluindo os serviços de operadoras, a margem bruta melhorou de 30% para 36%.
• A WidePoint registrou lucro líquido de US$ 66.000, ou US$ 0,01 por ação diluída, em comparação com um prejuízo líquido de US$ 618.000, ou US$ 0,06 por ação, no 2º trimestre de 2025.
• O EBITDA ajustado aumentou para US$ 635.000, ante US$ 183.000, enquanto o fluxo de caixa livre subiu para US$ 627.000, ante US$ 90.000.
• A administração espera que o recurso contra a concessão do contrato CWMS 3.0 de 10 anos e US$ 3,1 bilhões seja resolvido o mais tardar até 7 de outubro de 2026. A empresa não prevê um impacto relevante relacionado ao recurso nos resultados do 3º ou 4º trimestre.
• A expectativa é que o contrato ATV entre em operação até o final do ano, com a implantação acelerando em direção ao final do 1º trimestre ou início do 2º trimestre de 2027. O contrato original foi avaliado em aproximadamente US$ 45 milhões ao longo de cinco anos e apresenta um perfil de margem bruta estimado em 70%.

Principais Resultados Financeiros

No primeiro semestre de 2026, a receita atingiu US$ 78,6 milhões, um aumento de US$ 7,8 milhões em relação aos US$ 70,8 milhões anteriores. O lucro bruto aumentou de US$ 9,9 milhões para US$ 11,4 milhões, o EBITDA ajustado subiu de US$ 276.000 para US$ 1,4 milhão, e o fluxo de caixa livre aumentou de US$ 155.000 para US$ 1,3 milhão.

A WidePoint encerrou o trimestre com US$ 10,0 milhões em caixa não restrito e aproximadamente US$ 219 milhões em backlog de contratos federais financiados e não financiados. Sua linha de crédito rotativo renovada oferece até US$ 4,0 milhões em capacidade de empréstimo, sujeita ao cumprimento de cláusulas contratuais (covenants).

Desempenho Comercial e Operacional

CWMS 3.0

O Departamento de Segurança Interna dos EUA (DHS) selecionou a WidePoint como a única vencedora do contrato CWMS 3.0 de 10 anos, que possui um teto de US$ 3,1 bilhões. Um recurso administrativo continua em análise pelo Government Accountability Office (GAO) dos EUA, que deve emitir uma decisão até 7 de outubro de 2026.

O DHS também concedeu à WidePoint o contrato de transição CWMS 2.5, com teto de US$ 113 milhões e período potencial de execução de seis meses. A administração afirmou que o arranjo de transição deve manter a continuidade dos pedidos enquanto o recurso é resolvido.

Para fins de planejamento, a administração afirmou que o teto do CWMS 3.0 representa uma receita anual média de aproximadamente US$ 300 milhões. A empresa espera que cerca de US$ 150 milhões em valor anual permaneçam semelhantes ao CWMS 2.0, com um mix de aproximadamente 80% em serviços de operadoras e 20% em serviços gerenciados.

A oportunidade anual adicional de aproximadamente US$ 150 milhões deve ser ponderada em direção a serviços gerenciados e trabalhos de soluções. A administração acredita que esse trabalho pode sustentar uma margem de lucro líquido de 8% a 10% após o contrato atingir aceleração e escala plenas. A empresa não espera um aumento proporcional no quadro de funcionários porque o trabalho incremental deve ser focado principalmente em soluções.

Contrato ATV

A WidePoint expandiu o escopo de implementação do seu contrato SaaS com uma das três maiores operadoras de telecomunicações dos EUA. A implantação federal existente deve cobrir de 2 milhões a 2,5 milhões de dispositivos.

O contrato ATV original foi avaliado em aproximadamente US$ 45 milhões ao longo de cinco anos, ou cerca de US$ 9 milhões anuais, com um perfil de margem bruta estimado em 70%. A WidePoint e a operadora também iniciaram conversas preliminares para estender a plataforma a clientes dos governos estadual e municipal.

Durante o 2º trimestre, a WidePoint capitalizou aproximadamente US$ 700.000 em custos de mão de obra interna elegíveis relacionados à implementação do ATV. O valor acumulado no ano foi de US$ 1,3 milhão. A expectativa é que esses custos e a receita diferida relacionada sejam reconhecidos ao longo do prazo do contrato após o início das operações.

SEWP VI, DaaS e MobileAnchor

A WidePoint foi selecionada como contratante principal da Categoria A no veículo de compras SEWP VI da NASA, de 10 anos e US$ 60 bilhões. O início dos pedidos está agendado para 1º de novembro de 2026, e a administração espera que a atividade comece a se acelerar no 1º trimestre de 2027.

A empresa permanece cautelosamente otimista em fechar uma oportunidade de Device-as-a-Service (Dispositivo como Serviço) nos próximos meses. Os Jogos Olímpicos de LA28 oferecem a visibilidade mais clara no curto prazo, enquanto duas oportunidades menores de DaaS também estão se aproximando de um potencial fechamento. A administração espera margens brutas de 60% a 70% em grandes contratos de DaaS.

Os projetos-piloto do MobileAnchor continuam progredindo. A WidePoint também está respondendo a solicitações de informações envolvendo USAccess, Treasury IRS, NATO NCIA, DHS USCIS e o Defense Manpower Data Center.

Perspectivas da Administração

A administração não espera que o recurso do CWMS 3.0 afete materialmente os resultados do 3º ou 4º trimestre de 2026, pois as ordens de serviço existentes do CWMS 2.0 e o contrato de transição CWMS 2.5 garantem a continuidade.

Se o recurso for resolvido até 7 de outubro, novas ordens de serviço do CWMS 3.0 poderão começar a chegar no 4º trimestre. A administração espera que 2027 seja um ano significativo de aceleração, embora as ordens de serviço possam chegar de forma irregular. O cenário de longo prazo da empresa pressupõe que o CWMS 3.0 alcance a escala prevista até o final de 2028.

A expectativa é que a plataforma ATV entre em operação até o final de 2026. A administração prevê que alguns dispositivos serão implementados no 4º trimestre, seguidos por uma aceleração mais ampla no final do 1º trimestre ou início do 2º trimestre de 2027.

As despesas operacionais devem sofrer pressão por conta dos custos de conformidade regulatória acelerados junto à SEC, maiores despesas com plano de saúde, inflação e aumento dos custos de mão de obra. A WidePoint também planeja investimentos no curto prazo em criptografia pós-quântica, o que, segundo a administração, aumentará os investimentos em capital (capex).

Riscos e Pontos de Atenção

• O cronograma das ordens de serviço do CWMS 3.0 e das oportunidades de expansão de margem depende do resultado e do prazo da decisão sobre o recurso pelo GAO.
• A aceleração do CWMS 3.0 pode ser irregular, e o valor de US$ 3,1 bilhões é um teto contratual, e não uma receita garantida.
• A implementação do ATV continua em andamento, enquanto as conversas de expansão potencial para governos estaduais, municipais e empresas da Fortune 500 ainda são preliminares.
• O SEWP VI é um veículo de compras competitivo com diversos fornecedores qualificados; a conquista de ordens de serviço não está garantida.
• Uma paralisação (shutdown) parcial do DHS iniciada em fevereiro de 2026 reduziu as atividades faturáveis em determinados contratos.
• Despesas com conformidade regulatória, custos de mão de obra, custos com planos de saúde e investimentos em criptografia pós-quântica podem pressionar as despesas e os investimentos em capital de curto prazo.

Destaques das Perguntas e Respostas dos Analistas

A administração afirmou que a implantação do ATV pode levar de três a seis meses para avançar do lançamento inicial para uma aceleração mais completa. A expansão para clientes dos governos estadual e municipal poderia, potencialmente, dobrar o número de dispositivos em relação à implantação federal, embora a empresa ainda não tenha uma estimativa precisa.

A WidePoint também está buscando acordos com as outras duas grandes operadoras de telefonia móvel dos EUA. A administração descreveu o tamanho potencial como comparável à oportunidade existente do ATV, mas ressaltou que as conversas permanecem preliminares.

Para os Jogos de LA28, a administração espera concluir os termos e condições contratuais até o final do ano para que a implementação possa começar em 2027. Como a WidePoint forneceria principalmente licenças de SaaS e DaaS para a parceira CDW, a administração prevê que o período de aceleração seja relativamente rápido.

Em relação ao MobileAnchor, a administração disse que a demanda vem tanto da prospecção direta quanto de interesse receptivo. Os parceiros comerciais incluem CDW, Ingram Micro e Tech Data, com o MobileAnchor posicionado como um potencial aditivo para contratos de DaaS e gestão de identidade.

Jin Kang

Thank you, operator, and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us today to review our financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Q2 marked a transformational period and a key inflection point for WidePoint as we strengthened our foundation and sharpened our outlook for a profitable growth trajectory over the next decade. As many of you are aware, in late June, the Department of Homeland Security named WidePoint the single awardee of the 10-year $3.1 billion CWMS 3.0 contract. This award will provide a strong platform to expand our role, deepen our customer relationship and create meaningful long-term value for DHS. As many of you are already aware of what CWMS 3.0 means for WidePoint, we'd like to use today's discussion to focus on two key topics: first, the status of the award protest; and second, the financial outlook and growth opportunity we see under the contract over the next decade.

To address the protest directly, we firmly believe the protest will not be successful. We continue to operate and prepare with confidence that WidePoint will remain the single awardee of the CWMS 3.0 following the protest period. Our confidence is grounded in the strength of WidePoint's solution set, more than two decades of proven performance and the deep integration of our solutions into DHS' operations. Precedent also reinforces our view. Unsuccessful bidders protest the CWMS 2.0, the CWMS 1.0 and the GSA FSSI TEMS awards, the predecessors to CWMS 3.0. WidePoint prevailed in all three cases. We believe this protest will reach the same outcome, allowing us to move forward and begin executing on the opportunities ahead.

The GAO is required to issue a decision within 100 days of protest filing, setting an outside deadline of October 7, 2026. DHS and the protester have submitted their responses, and the matter is now in the decision window with GAO. Although the deadline falls in early October, we remain optimistic that GAO could issue its decision sooner. In the meantime, our team continues preparing for the full launch of work under CWS 3.0. Additionally, on August 6, DHS awarded a short-term bridge contract, the CWMS 2.5 with a contract ceiling of $113 million with a six-month period of performance comprised of a three-month base period and three one-month options. This award was to ensure that there were no gaps in the ordering period. This bridge contract will ensure business continuity as the protest is settled.

Our second topic is the financial outlook for CWMS 3.0 over the next decade. For discussion purposes, the contract's $3.1 billion ceiling represents an average annual revenue of approximately $300 million per year. This equates to approximately twice the annual revenue run rate under CWMS 2.0. We expect the original $150 million in annual value to remain consistent with the CWS 2.0. Though due to pricing adjustment, we believe this will be slightly more profitable. Consistent with the CWMS 2.0 split between carrier and managed services revenue, we expect the split to remain roughly 80% carrier and 20% managed services revenue.

We see the greatest value in the approximately $150 million of additional annual opportunity, which we expect to be concentrated towards managed services and solution-based work. Based on historical federal contracting economics, this type of managed services and solution-based work typically supports an 8% to 10% net profit margin. Applying this net profit margin to the additional $150 million annual opportunity, we believe CWMS 3.0 holds the potential to materially strengthen WidePoint's future earnings profile once the contract is fully ramped and scaled.

DHS underwent a significant set of reviews to increase the contract ceiling and face scrutiny at both the departmental and congressional levels. We view that entire process and the resulting ceiling increase as a strong signal of institutional commitment to the CWMS program, its long-term potential and the value WidePoint and the contract vehicle provides DHS. We also expect the scope of work on the CWMS 3.0 to expand beyond smartphones and traditional IoT devices to additional connected devices and form factors. Although the pipeline continues to evolve in real time, we see meaningful pent-up federal demand for high-value solutions that can be delivered through the CWMS contract vehicle using WidePoint's capabilities.

While the contract ceiling was effectively doubled on an annual basis, we do not expect a corresponding increase in headcount because the approximate $150 million in additional annual opportunity is expected to consist primarily of solutions-based work. Any incremental staffing needs should be relatively minimal. The timing of the full CWMS 3.0 ramp and the execution of margin-accretive opportunities currently depends on the conclusion of the protest. If resolved on or before October 7, we may see some new task orders to begin arriving in the fourth quarter. We expect 2027 to be a year of meaningful ramp-up with task orders likely to arrive unevenly as the program begins scaling.

If CWMS 3.0 reaches the contemplated scale by the end of 2028, the approximate $150 million of additional annual opportunity, together with an assumed 8% to 10% net profit margin supports our view that the contract could materially and positively change WidePoint's future earnings potential. For now, we look forward to expected decision from GAO and commence work under CWMS 3.0.

Beyond CWMS, the second quarter saw two additional major developments. A few days before the CWMS announcement, WidePoint was named a prime contract awardee on the 10-year $60 billion NASA Solutions for enterprise-wide procurement or SEWP VI contract. WidePoint was selected as a prime contractor awardee under the category A, which covers information technology, communications and audiovisual solutions. Similar to the Navy Spiral 4 contract, SEWP VI provide us with a more efficient way to connect with our federal customers with our full portfolio of solutions and scale mission-critical support where agency need it most.

As many of you are aware, the federal acquisition cycle is long and arduous process. Thus, by qualifying for such contract vehicles like SEWP VI and Navy Spiral 4, we can shorten the acquisition process and open the door to new opportunities with a majority of task orders projected to be solutions based under SEWP VI, capturing even a small fraction of the contract ceiling could have a meaningful impact on WidePoint. The ordering period is set to start on November 1. And as such, we expect activities to begin ramping up as early as Q1 2027. Nonetheless, we remain prepared to take advantage of our seat at the table and pursue the opportunities ahead.

We also saw new and encouraging development under our SaaS contract with one of the big three U.S. telecommunications carriers. We will be referring to this contract as the ATV contract going forward. In late June, we announced an expanded implementation scope under the ATV contract to support additional operational requirements. As we continue to work through the implementation phase with the carrier, we identified additional implementation needs. We view this expanded scope as a clear indicator of the carrier's confidence in our platform, technical expertise and ability to execute increasingly complex deployment requirements at scale. With this expanded scope, we now anticipate the official go-live by the end of the year.

ATV is a margin-accretive contract that we believe will meaningfully support WidePoint's future earnings trajectory. The original contract was valued at approximately $45 million over five years or roughly $9 million per year. At an estimated 70% gross margin profile, along with the expanded scope I previously highlighted, ATV has the potential to generate a material contribution to our bottom line and further enhance our EPS trajectory once fully ramped.

Lastly, before I hand the call off to Jason, I'd like to reiterate the strong underlying fundamentals of the business that have supported our progress thus far. As we pursue and secure opportunities that position WidePoint for sustainable growth, our current business and the market we serve remain healthy and expanding. In the first half of 2026 alone, WidePoint was awarded $58 million in new and renewal contractual actions, demonstrating both the strength of the foundation we have built and growing customer demand across the federal and commercial sectors. WidePoint continues to expand customer and partner relationships, win and renew engagements and ultimately build a strong pipeline that supports our shift towards higher-value as-a-service work. The rest of the year centers on fortifying the foundation to accelerate WidePoint's future trajectory. We expect 2027 to begin reflecting the company's evolving profile. And by the end of 2028, we anticipate a stronger organization platform capable of accelerating growth beyond current levels.

That said, I will now hand the call over to Jason, who will provide additional insight into our sales and marketing initiatives, including the expanding potential of the ATV contract and recent DaaS developments. Jason?

Jason Holloway

Thanks, Jin, and good afternoon, everyone.

To start with an update on the ATV contract, as Jin mentioned, we were pleased to announce at the end of the second quarter, the expanded integration engagement with our carrier customer. During these conversations and through the implementation, WidePoint and our carrier customer have also identified and begun initial discussions about extending the partnership beyond its current federal scope to the carrier state and local government clients. The current existing contract is expected to cover 2 million to 2.5 million devices at the federal level. The potential expansion could increase both the number of devices managed and the total value of the engagement. To preface, this potential expansion remains in the early stages of discussion. However, we believe WidePoint's technical expertise, differentiated capabilities and decades of experience serving government clients with the most stringent security requirements positions us to compete effectively in the market.

That said, our primary focus now continues to center on completing the implementation phase and reaching the go-live status. Both parties remain committed to launch by year-end. Regardless of the official launch date, this will be one of the largest government mobility management deployments in the industry to date.

On to DaaS to provide an update on our pipeline. We remain cautiously optimistic that we will close a DaaS opportunity in the next few months. The LA28 DaaS opportunity is one where we currently have the clearest line of sight. We are cautiously optimistic that the required contracting should begin in the near term. Beyond LA28, we have two additional DaaS opportunities that are close to closing. These two opportunities are much smaller than the other major opportunities in the pipeline as the client wants to implement in tranches. Still, progress in the pipeline is encouraging and reinforces our confidence in the broader level of activity. Larger opportunities with Fortune 100 size organizations also remain active, and we continue to believe we can convert these engagements over time.

Fortune 100 size organizations can have workforces and device footprints spanning hundreds of thousands of devices, and DaaS revenue is billed based on the number of devices managed per person per month. And with DaaS margin economics expected to land in the 60% to 70% range on these large engagements, securing even one of these engagements could materially improve our EPS outlook. We remain optimistic about the DaaS pipeline and look forward to sharing material updates on future calls.

SEWP VI was another major second quarter highlight. Our team has been working diligently with contacts at the highest levels of the federal government who hold funding and have a need for our service. Government-wide acquisition contracts like SEWP VI come especially handy during these conversations because they provide a readily available pre-competed vehicle that can shorten customer acquisition cycles. And while competition will be high with many other organizations qualifying and competing under SEWP VI, we believe WidePoint stands out among a small group of providers under Category A positioned to support multiple portions of the available solution categories. With the ordering period beginning November 1, SEWP VI has the potential to generate incremental opportunities beyond those we have highlighted over the past several quarters.

Lastly, MobileAnchor continues to gain traction. Beyond the several pilot programs currently underway, which are continuing to progress, we've been extremely busy responding to numerous requests for information to very high-level organizations such as USAccess , Treasury IRS, NATO NCIA or NATO Communications and Information Agencies, DHS' USCIS or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Defense Manpower Data Center or DMDC. We will keep you posted as these high-level profile opportunities make their way through the process.

With that, I will now turn the call over to Bob to discuss our financial results. Bob?

Robert George

Thanks, Jason, and thanks to everyone for joining us today. I'm pleased to share the details of our financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Total revenue for Q2 increased to $38 million compared to $37.3 million in the same period last year. Total revenue for the six-month period was $78.6 million, a $7.8 million increase from the $70.8 million in the same period last year. Now I'll provide a further breakdown of our revenues. Our carrier services revenue for Q2 was $24.1 million, an increase of $1.8 million compared to $22.2 million last year. Carrier services revenue for the six-month period was $49.8 million, an increase of $5.2 million compared to $44.6 million in the same period last year. The increase during both periods was the result of growth in the number of phone lines under management during the second half of 2025 for our DHS customer.

Managed services fees for Q2 were $9.7 million, an increase of $1.1 million compared to $8.6 million last year. Managed services fees for the six-month period were $19 million, a $1.8 million increase compared to $17.2 million in the same period last year. The increase during both periods was primarily due to the additional task order with U.S. Customs and Border Protection awarded in September 2025 to manage 30,000 additional phone lines. Billable service fees for Q2 were $1.2 million and remained relatively consistent with the same period last year. Billable service fees for the six-month period were $2.5 million compared to $3.1 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the impact from the partial shutdown of DHS beginning February 2026, which resulted in reduced billable activity on certain contracts.

Reselling and other services for Q2 were $3 million compared to $5.1 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to certain nonrecurring revenues booked in the second quarter of 2025. Revenue in the current year period reflects a more normalized pattern of revenue recognition in this area. Reselling and other services for the six-month period was $7.2 million, an increase of $1.3 million compared to $5.9 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily related to the absence of the out-of-period adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2025.

Gross profit for Q2 increased by $700,000 to $5.8 million or 15% of revenues compared to $5.1 million or 14% of revenues in the same period last year. Gross profit for the six-month period increased $1.5 million to $11.4 million or 15% of revenues compared to $9.9 million or 14% of revenues in the same period last year. The more significant metric of gross profit percentage, excluding carrier services during Q2 was 36% compared to 30% in the same period last year. Gross profit percentage, excluding carrier services during the six-month period was 35% compared to 33% in the same period last year. Our gross profit percentage will vary from period to period based on the revenue mix.

Sales and marketing expenses in Q2 were $600,000 or 2% of revenues and remained relatively consistent compared to the same period last year. Sales and marketing expenses for the six-month period were $1.3 million or 2% of revenues and also were relatively consistent compared to the same period last year. General and administrative expenses in Q2 were $4.9 million or 13% of revenues and remained relatively consistent compared to the same period last year. General and administrative expenses for the six-month period totaled $9.8 million or 13% of revenues and also remained relatively consistent compared to the $9.7 million or 13% of revenues in the same period last year.

Additionally, the second quarter and year-to-date periods benefited from the capitalization of approximately $700,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, of qualifying internal labor costs associated with the implementation of our ATV contract. These costs were deferred as the contract implementation assets rather than recognized as general and administrative expenses during the period. Excluding the impact of these capitalized implementation costs, operating expenses would have increased more significantly compared to prior year periods. Upon the ATV contract going live, the deferred implementation costs, together with the related deferred revenue will be recognized over the expected contract term as cost of sales and revenue.

In addition, to the extent that our internal IT personnel continue to perform billable customer support services after go-live, the related labor costs are expected to be classified as direct costs rather than general and administrative expenses. As our business grows, we expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars. However, we expect those costs to remain relatively consistent as a percentage of revenue.

Depreciation and amortization expense for Q2 was $181,000 compared to $233,000 in the same period last year. The decrease was a result of certain capitalized assets reaching the end of their amortization periods. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six-month period remained consistent at $409,000 compared to $457,000 in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure for Q2 was $635,000 compared to $183,000 in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the six-month period was $1.4 million compared to $276,000 in the same period last year. Free cash flow, also a non-GAAP measure, which we define as adjusted EBITDA minus capital investments increased to $627,000 in Q2 compared to $90,000 in the same period last year. Free cash flow for the six-month period increased to $1.3 million compared to $155,000 in the same period last year.

For Q2, net income was $66,000, resulting in basic and diluted EPS of $0.01 per share compared to a net loss of $618,000 or a loss of $0.06 per share in the same period last year. Net income for the six-month period totaled $143,000 or basic and diluted EPS of $0.01 per share compared to a net loss of $1.3 million or a loss of $0.14 per share in the same period last year. Federal funded and unfunded contract backlog totaled approximately $219 million as of June 30, 2026.

Moving to the balance sheet. We ended the quarter with $10 million in unrestricted cash. We also renewed our revolving line of credit facility that provides us with $4 million in potential borrowing capacity subject to maintaining compliance with our covenants. We also maintain an at-the-market or ATM stock offering facility, which provides flexibility to sell shares into the open market at prevailing market prices. We have not used the ATM since it was put in place, and we do not intend to do so at current valuations.

Looking ahead into the second half of the year, we expect to incur additional costs as WidePoint transitions to an accelerated SEC filer. While this classification is a result of our success reflected by higher public float, it will result in higher external audit fees, consulting costs and other compliance-related expenditures spread across the third and fourth quarter. Beginning in 2027, we expect the annual impact to be slightly below the amount we expect to incur in the second half of 2026 and for it to be spread across four quarters, moderating the effect on quarterly operating expenses.

Further, under current market conditions, we also expect higher health insurance costs, inflationary pressures and rising labor costs to weigh on our operating expense profile. We also expect to make a onetime payment under employee incentive arrangements that are contingent upon both the award of the CWMS 3.0 contract and the final resolution of the related protest in WidePoint's favor. While the related accounting recognition may occur over time in accordance with GAAP, the underlying awards are unique to CWMS 3.0 and are not recurring.

Additionally, over the coming periods, we plan to make targeted investments in post-quantum cryptography to keep our cybersecurity solutions at the forefront of the industry. We believe these investments will strengthen our long-term competitive position and support the evolving security needs of our government and commercial customers. While these investments will result in elevated capital expenditures in the near term, we believe they will position the company to improve margins and profitability over time as we scale existing programs, execute under key contract awards, including CWMS and the ATV contracts and continue to expand our customer base and pipeline. We believe these strategic investments will strengthen our long-term growth prospects and competitive positioning.

This completes my financial summary. For a more detailed analysis of our financial results, please refer to our Form 10-Q, which was filed prior to this call. With that, I will now hand the call over to Jin.

Jin Kang

Thank you, Bob, and thank you, Jason.

While we continue to navigate through the CWMS 3.0 protest period, many task orders under the current CWMS 2.0 vehicle remain in place through the second quarter of 2027. And now with the interim CWMS 2.5 bridge contract in place, DHS can continue to modify these task orders and issue additional task orders. Several modifications and quote revisions are already underway and more significant modifications remain possible if the protest should extend beyond the current expectations. Accordingly, we do not anticipate any material impact from the protest in our third or fourth quarter results.

We view 2026 as a year of execution, not transition. With major contracts secured and implementations underway, we are well positioned for a meaningful ramp in 2027 that should provide an early glimpse of WidePoint's evolving financial and operating profile. By the end of 2028, we expect to begin delivering against our financial targets and accelerating growth beyond those levels.

Before we turn to Q&A, I would like to pass the call over to Jason once more. Jason?

Jason Holloway

Thanks, Jin. Before we turn to Q&A, I wanted to share a personal update with all of our shareholders and supporters. After 10 years with WidePoint, I've made the decision to retire at the end of the year. When I joined WidePoint in 2016, my goals were clear: stabilize and streamline sales and marketing, position the company for success, return WidePoint to profitability and set it on a sustainable growth trajectory. I'm pleased to say those objectives have been achieved. While the work took a bit longer than I initially expected, I am confident that WidePoint is now on the correct path.

Over the next few months, I will be transitioning my responsibilities and mentoring my successor to ensure a smooth handoff. I will also remain actively involved with the management team and our customers to help convert current opportunities into paying contracts. I will always be a champion for WidePoint, working with the Board and management to support the company's growth. I remain a dedicated shareholder and will continue to support WidePoint's long-term success. At the same time, I need to give certain personal obligations a higher priority now. Thank you to the management team and especially every member of the staff. It has been a challenging, rewarding and enjoyable ride, and I am very proud of what we have accomplished together.

This concludes our prepared remarks. We will now take questions from our analysts and major shareholders. Operator, will you please open the call for questions?

[Operator Instructions] Your first question for today is coming from Scott Buck with Titan Partners.

Perguntas e respostas

Scott Buck

First, Jason, congratulations. On ATV contract, if we're talking about launch by the end of 2026, what is the time line from launch to full deployment?

Jin Kang

We should have some devices implemented at the end of this year in Q4. But we feel that the ramp-up time is going to be probably towards the end of the first quarter, beginning of second quarter.

Scott Buck

Okay. So between three and six months. Perfect. And then you talked about potential expansion to state and local governments. Could you help us understand what the incremental, I don't know, number of devices or incremental opportunity that could potentially mean in terms of revenue?

Jin Kang

I think the state and local -- the population would rival those of the federal government. So we could potentially see a doubling of the number of devices. And they're also talking about taking us into their Fortune 500 customers. And so that could grow some more. We don't know the exact number at this time because we don't know how many -- what's the customer base ATV has. But we'll know more as we get into the implementation towards the end of this year.

Scott Buck

Okay. Perfect. And then last one from me. I just want to ask about backlog real quick. What does the book-to-bill look like ex CWMS?

Jin Kang

The contract backlog, the $219 million is what we have past quarter executed from the federal government. Most of that $219 million is funded requirements from the federal government. And some of those have contract period of performance that's minimally 12 months and some of them 18. And when you say book-to-bill, we will get all of that work as revenue over time.

Operator

Your next question for today is from Casey Ryan with AmerX.

Casey Ryan

I just wanted to circle back, you were talking -- I think you mentioned that there may be a second wireless carrier opportunity. And I just wanted to confirm that. And then also if it was the same sort of target, like it was kind of federal workforce coverage and then maybe state and local after that.

Jin Kang

Yes. As we stated, we have one of the three major carriers. And so the other two are definitely targets of opportunity, and we are feverishly working towards capturing those two opportunities as well. And the size of it is comparable.

Casey Ryan

Yes. Because is it fair for me to think that all three of the big carriers serve federal, state and local governments maybe equally or in some significant market share amounts?

Jin Kang

Yes, they do. And they all have similar cybersecurity requirements. And so because of our FedRAMP authorized status and FedRAMP certification, we will be sought out, and we are also reaching out to them. And we are in conversation, preliminary conversations with them. Nothing material at this time, though.

Casey Ryan

Okay. And then I think just briefly on the Olympics, I think we talked about the practicalities of sort of deployment might require that a decision be made at some point. Would you expect that to happen in '26 and just say what has to happen by '26 because it's going to be in '28 or could it slip longer?

Jin Kang

Yes, the time is definitely not. I mean it's -- the sort of the crunch time is going to happen probably beginning of next year. But we're hopeful to get all the Ts and Cs done by the end of this year so that we will be ready to start to implement. And again, this is a Software-as-a-Service and a DaaS opportunity. So our main lift will be providing the licenses for our partner, CDW, to use in order to implement their DaaS program. So the ramp-up period should be pretty quick.

Casey Ryan

Okay. All right. Great. And then the last thing I had, I was really curious about MobileAnchor, I've always been interested in, but I think Jason mentioned that there's a lot of inbound coming. And I'm wondering how the inbound is sort of materializing. Is that your own direct efforts trying to get the technology out there? Or are people just hearing about you and saying, hey, this is something that we need and something viable. And so it's actually people calling you not out of the blue, but maybe without you having to pursue them formally?

Jin Kang

Yes, it's a little of both. And so our challenge has been in order to getting to the right person and the decision-maker. And so we've been working with political operators that have various connections in the organization. We're having some reasonable luck there. So we are getting some inbound calls. And we're also getting calls from various entities that have to work with secure identities. And because we are one of the two external certificate authorities, they know that we have this solution. And so we get the inbound calls through that as well as people just hearing about us and wanting to implement the most secure multifactor authentication solution available. So through our marketing as well as inbound unsolicited calls.

Casey Ryan

Yes. Okay. Great. And then last question is about MobileAnchor. What's the opportunity set in commercial segments, I guess? I mean we've talked about government, but -- and is there a partner in the commercial space where you work to sort of get MobileAnchor out of the marketplace?

Jin Kang

Yes. Our partners in the commercial side -- I mean, on the private sector side is CDW, Ingram Micro, Tech Data. Those are the folks that are involved with various identity and access management solutions. And so we're working with them, and I think that there's a lot of applicability there. And so as part of our DaaS programs, one of the services and the solutions that we will provide is the MobileAnchor and identity and access management. So we've got to get our foot in the door first with DaaS and upsell the mobile anchor and identity management solution.
