TMNG GLOBAL REPORTS 2011 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
 

Overland Park, KS – November 10, 2011 – TMNG Global (Nasdaq: TMNG), a premier provider of professional services and software solutions to global leaders in the communications, digital media, and technology industries, reported financial results for its 2011 third quarter ended October 1, 2011.

“Our performance in the third quarter reflects the impact of macroeconomic uncertainty on the timing and levels of corporate spending, and the lack of visibility created by these conditions is currently expected to persist at least through the end of the year,” said Richard Nespola, TMNG Global Chairman and CEO.  “While the weaker revenue environment creates challenges, we continue to operate a lean business and maintain a solid cash position.  From a revenue perspective we are focused on building our opportunities pipeline with key products and offerings.  We maintain strong, long-term relationships with large telecom carriers, our Ascertain and SmartXchange software solutions continue to show traction in the U.S. market, and we are establishing a solid consulting and solutions foundation in the important areas of cable transformation and cloud computing.  All of these strengths support our ability to work through the current uncertainty and drive revenue opportunities as the macro picture clears.”
 
Financial Results for the Thirteen Weeks Ended October 1, 2011
Revenues in the third quarter of 2011 were $15.5 million, compared to $16.4 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2011.  Strength in management consulting engagements for North America telecommunications carriers was more than offset by declines in other practice areas on a year-over-year basis.
 
 
 
 

 
 
During the quarter, TMNG’s gross margin was 35.9%, compared with 37.9% in the third quarter of 2010 and 39.4% in the second quarter of 2011.

TMNG Global reported a net loss of ($0.8) million on a GAAP basis, or ($0.11) per diluted share for the third quarter of 2011, compared with a net loss of ($0.7) million, or ($0.10) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010. After adjusting for the after tax impact of net realized losses or gains on auction rate securities, depreciation and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense, non-GAAP adjusted net loss was ($0.5) million, or ($0.07) per diluted share during the third quarter of 2011.  The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.
 
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $10.1 million as of October 1, 2011 as compared to $6.8 million as of January 1, 2011.

Financial Results for the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 1, 2011
For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, revenues were $49.5 million, compared with $50.8 million in the comparable period of fiscal year 2010.  TMNG Global’s gross margin was 37.6% during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, compared with 38.3% in the comparable period of fiscal year 2010.

Net loss for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 was ($3.0) million or ($0.43) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($2.0) million or ($0.28) per diluted share in the comparable period of fiscal year 2010.  Non-GAAP adjusted net loss, adjusted for the after tax impact of net realized losses or gains on auction rate securities, depreciation and amortization expense, and share-based compensation expense, was approximately ($1.4) million, or ($0.19) per diluted share, for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011.  The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 was $0.5 million or $0.06 per diluted share.

In addition to reporting net loss and net loss per share on a GAAP basis, this press release contains certain non-GAAP adjustments which are described in the schedule entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss)” that accompanies this press release.  In making these non-GAAP adjustments, the Company took into account certain non-cash expenses and benefits, including tax effects as applicable, and the impact of certain items that are generally not expected to be on-going in nature or that are unrelated to the Company’s core operations.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Management believes the exclusion of these items provides a useful basis for evaluating underlying business performance, but should not be considered in isolation and is not in accordance with, or a substitute for, evaluating Company performance utilizing GAAP financial information.  The Company believes that providing such adjusted results allows investors and other users of the Company’s financial statements to better understand TMNG Global’s comparative operating performance for the periods presented.

TMNG Global’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measure in its own evaluation of the Company’s performance, particularly when comparing performance to the prior year’s period and on a sequential basis.  TMNG Global’s non-GAAP measure may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures.  Although TMNG Global’s management believes the non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating the performance of its business, TMNG Global acknowledges that items excluded from such measure have a material impact on the Company’s net loss and net loss per share calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Therefore, management uses non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP results.  Investors and other users of our financial information should also consider the above factors when evaluating TMNG Global’s results.
