Overland Park, KS – February 25, 2010 – TMNG Global (Nasdaq: TMNGD), a leading provider of management consulting and software solution services to the global communications, media and entertainment industries, reported financial results for its 2009 fourth quarter and full year ended January 2, 2010. 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.
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 (a thirteen week quarter) were $17.1 million, up from $14.4 million in the 2008 fourth quarter (a fourteen week quarter) and $16.8 million in the 2009 third quarter. The positive revenue comparisons were driven by the Company’s continued execution on its strategy of deepening penetration of larger customer organizations. During the quarter, TMNG’s gross margin was 42.3%, compared with 39.8% in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 40.8% in the third quarter of 2009.
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 2009, compared to a prior-year net loss of ($5.0) million, or ($0.72) per diluted share. The 2008 fourth quarter included a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $4.3 million. After adjusting for the after tax impact of non-cash charges, including the impairment charge, net realized gains or losses on auction rate securities, depreciation and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $0.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2009. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $0.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share.
“TMNG closed 2009 with performance consistent with our expectations and directly resulting from the successful execution of our strategy to deepen and widen relationships with top revenue generating clients,” said Richard Nespola, TMNG Global Chairman and CEO. “Given the challenging environment faced by both TMNG and our customers throughout most of 2009, the sequential quarterly improvement we saw over the last nine months, capped by positive non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fourth quarter and full year, gives us positive momentum heading into 2010. We believe that larger customers have been expanding capital investment for several reasons, including: to manage increasing growth in bandwidth demand, to design and construct next generation networks, to build business models around new consumer products, and to introduce new services such as wireless offerings by cable operators. Through our Strategy group, our operational consultant capabilities and our software toolsets, we are positioned to benefit from all of these activities and we see solid opportunities for revenue and profit improvement in 2010.”
Financial Results for the Fifty-Two Weeks Ended January 2, 2010
For the fifty-two weeks ended January 2, 2010, revenues were $65.0 million, compared with $74.0 million for the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2009. TMNG Global’s gross margin was 41.4% during the fifty-two weeks ended January 2, 2010, compared with 44.6% for the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2009.
Net loss for the fifty-two weeks ended January 2, 2010 was ($3.2) million or ($0.46) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($14.8) million or ($2.09) per diluted share for the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2009. GAAP results included $14.5 million in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in 2008. Non-GAAP adjusted net income, excluding the after tax impact of non-cash expenses, including the impairment charges, net realized gains or losses on auction rate securities, depreciation and amortization expense, and share-based compensation expense, was approximately $0.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the fifty-two weeks ended January 2, 2010. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fifty-three week period ended January 3, 2009 was approximately $6.1 million, or $0.87 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. 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 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.
