TMNG GLOBAL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS


Overland Park, KS – May 9, 2013 – TMNG Global (Nasdaq: TMNG), a premier provider of professional services and technical solutions to the global leaders in the communications, digital media, and technology industries, reported financial results for its 2013 first quarter ended March 30, 2013.

“In the first quarter of 2013, we delivered the first stages of revenue growth and overall results aligned with our expectations given the seasonality of some personnel-related costs.  More importantly, our success in 2013 will be measured by how effectively we innovate and evolve our model to deliver sustainable, profitable growth,” said Donald Klumb, CEO of TMNG Global.  “We are focused on executing our strategic plan for growth, which includes enhancing relationships with key customers, advancing alliances with strategic business partners, and expanding our technical solution offerings, particularly around the Ascertain software platform.  As we pursue these growth opportunities, we are continuing to carefully manage our expenses and our balance sheet while emphasizing deeper relationships with our largest clients.”
 
 
Financial Results for the Thirteen Weeks Ended March 30, 2013

Revenues in the first quarter of 2013 were $14.0 million, up from $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $12.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.  During the quarter, TMNG’s gross margin was 36.0%, compared with 36.8% in the first quarter of 2012 and 38.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 
 
 

 
 
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The year-over-year decline reflects significant reductions in the Company’s selling, general and administrative expense structure that were implemented during 2012. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs in the first quarter of 2013 from the fourth quarter of 2012 reflects normal, seasonal cost variances.

TMNG Global reported a net loss of ($0.2) million on a GAAP basis, or ($0.02) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2013, compared to a net loss of ($1.2) million or ($0.17) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012, and net income of $0.3 million or $0.04 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2012.  After adjusting for the after tax impact of depreciation and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share during the first quarter of 2013.  The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net loss was ($1.0) million, or ($0.13) per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

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 non-GAAP financial information provides a useful basis for evaluating underlying business performance, but should not be considered in isolation and is not a substitute for 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.
