TMNG GLOBAL REPORTS 2008 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Overland Park, KS – November 5, 2008 – TMNG Global (Nasdaq: TMNG), a leading provider of management consulting and software solution services to the global communications, media and entertainment industries, reported financial results for its 2008 third quarter ended September 27, 2008.
Revenues in the third quarter of 2008 were $17.5 million compared to revenues of $20.8 million in the prior year period. Revenues reflected continued strong performance from both the Management Consulting and Software Solutions segments, but were offset by scope reductions and protraction in project launches as well as unfavorable foreign exchange impact. During the quarter, TMNG Global’s gross margin was 43.5%, compared with 49.5% in the third quarter of 2007.
TMNG Global reported a net loss of ($1.2) million or ($0.03) per diluted share for the third quarter of 2008, compared to net income of $504,000, or $0.01 per diluted share in last year’s third quarter. After adjusting for the after tax impact of non-cash charges, including intangible impairment, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, TMNG Global generated non-GAAP adjusted net income of $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2008. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, which also included an adjustment for expenses related to the review of the Company’s option granting practices and an adjustment to
exclude the gain on settlement of a foreign tax withholding dispute, was $2.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
The Company ended the third quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $9.7 million, long-term investments of $14.0 million, no long-term debt, and stockholders’ equity of $42.6 million.
“Our third quarter performance in most respects shows that our strategy and our offerings continue to be positioned solidly to serve a fundamentally attractive telecommunications, media and entertainment environment,” said Richard Nespola, TMNG Global Chairman and CEO. “However, the significant global economic and credit market events of the past several months are causing many companies to begin to pause some spending as they balance liquidity, strategic and investment priorities. These circumstances, coupled with our historical seasonality during the fourth quarter holiday season limits our forward visibility, but not our long-term optimism. As we work through the currently challenging environment, we’re encouraged by a strong pipeline of sold and potential new business, our ability to leverage a flexible operating model to manage expenses, and a solid balance sheet.”
Financial Results for the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended September 27, 2008
For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2008, revenues increased 16.8% to $59.6 million, compared with $51.0 million in the comparable year-ago period. TMNG Global’s gross margin was 45.7% during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2008, compared with 46.5% in the comparable year-ago period.
Net loss for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2008 was ($9.8) million or ($0.28) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($2.8) million or ($0.08) per diluted share in the comparable year-ago period. GAAP results in 2008 include goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $10.2 million. Non-GAAP adjusted net income, adjusted for the after tax impact of non-cash expenses, including the impairment charges, depreciation and amortization expense, and share-based compensation, was approximately $5.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2008. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2007 was $2.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, which also excluded expenses related to the review of the Company’s option granting practices and excluded the gain on settlement of a foreign tax withholding dispute.
For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2008, cash flow from operations was $7.1 million, compared to $1.1 million in the comparable year-ago period.
In addition to reporting net income (loss) and net income (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) Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income” 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. 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. TMNG Global’s non-GAAP measure may differ from similar measures 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 income (loss) and net income (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.
