TMNG GLOBAL REPORTS 2010 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS
 

 
Overland Park, KS – February 17, 2011 – TMNG Global (Nasdaq: TMNG), a leading provider of professional services to the global communications, digital media, technology, and financial services industries, reported financial results for its 2010 fourth quarter and full year ended January 1, 2011.  All per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock effective February 7, 2010.

“TMNG Global posted higher revenues and a smaller loss from operations in 2010 by focusing our resources on driving new revenues at our largest customers and continued stringent expense management.  Our customer engagements included the traditional TMNG offerings of business assurance, operational efficiency and market entry strategies, as well as helping clients launch new content delivery platforms.  2010 also provided us with a ground-floor opportunity to develop new cloud computing business and economic models,” said Richard Nespola, TMNG Global Chairman and CEO. “Our business continues to transform to a more software-solutions model enhanced by our strategic view of the evolving marketplace.  Entering 2011, we remain focused on driving sustainable revenue growth, improving margins, and generating positive cash flows from operations.” 

 
 
 

 
 
Financial Results for the Thirteen Weeks Ended January 1, 2011
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $16.4 million, compared to $17.1 million in the 2009 fourth quarter and flat with the 2010 third quarter.  The year-over-year decline was due to lower revenue contributions from our management consulting and software solutions practices, partially offset by an increase in strategic consulting services. During the quarter, TMNG’s gross margin was 36.1%, compared with 42.3% in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 37.9% in the third quarter of 2010.  Margin comparisons reflect business mix in the quarter and seasonally lower utilization.

TMNG Global reported a net loss of ($0.2) million on a GAAP basis, or ($0.03) per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with a net loss of ($0.2) million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009. The fourth quarter of 2010 includes a tax benefit of $0.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, due to the release of a reserve for uncertain tax positions. After adjusting for the after tax impact of depreciation and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense, the non-GAAP adjusted net income was $0.6 million or $0.08 per diluted share during the fourth quarter of 2010. After adjusting for the after tax impact of net realized gains on auction rate securities, depreciation and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense, the comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $0.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.
 
 
Financial Results for the Fifty-Two Weeks Ended January 1, 2011
For the fifty-two weeks ended January 1, 2011, revenues were $67.2 million, compared with $65.0 million in fiscal year 2009.  The growth was driven by an approximately 80% increase in strategic consulting services revenue compared to fiscal year 2009, partially offset by lower contributions from the EMEA segment and carrier customers in the year. TMNG Global’s gross margin was 37.8% during the fifty-two weeks ended January 1, 2011, compared with 41.4% in fiscal year 2009.  Margins were negatively impacted by business mix, competitive pricing pressure and start-up expenses related to the SmartXchangeSM solution, which was launched early in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Net loss for the fifty-two weeks ended January 1, 2011 was ($2.2) million or ($0.31) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($3.2) million or ($0.46) per diluted share in fiscal year 2009.  Non-GAAP adjusted net income, adjusted for the after tax impact of net realized gains on auction rate securities, depreciation and amortization expense, and share-based compensation, was approximately $1.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the fifty-two weeks ended January 1, 2011.  The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fifty-two weeks ended January 2, 2010 was $0.7 million or $0.10 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” 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.
