TMNG Global Amends Stockholder Rights Plan to Increase Ownership Threshold
By TMNG Press Releases @ 4:06 PM :: 83 Views
|
|
Overland Park, KS – July 19, 2010 – The Management Network Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: TMNG) ("TMNG" or the "Company") today announced that it has amended and restated its stockholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan"). The Company previously announced in May 2010 its intention to amend the Rights Plan.
The Company amended the Rights Plan to, among other things, increase the ownership threshold under the Rights Plan from five percent (5%) to fifteen percent (15%) and delete the provisions of the Rights Plan relating to the Company's net operating loss carryforwards. The Company also amended the Rights Plan to reflect adjustments resulting from the Company's 1-for-5 reverse stock split that was effected on February 7, 2010 and to change the period for independent director reviews of the Rights Plan from every year to every three years. In addition, the Rights Plan was amended to also apply to ownership of securities where a holder uses a contract, arrangement or device (including any derivative, swap or similar transaction or instrument) to divest beneficial ownership of the securities to avoid triggering the Rights Plan or to evade the reporting requirements of the federal securities laws.
Additional information regarding the Rights Plan as amended and restated, including other amendments updating and revising the Rights Plan, will be contained in a current report on Form 8-K that the Company is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This filing will be available at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

TMNG Global to Amend Stockholder Rights Plan to Increase Ownership Threshold in July 2010
By TMNG Press Releases @ 4:45 PM :: 123 Views
|
|
Overland Park, KS – May 26, 2010 – The Management Network Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: TMNG) ("TMNG" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors intends to amend its stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) in July 2010 to increase the ownership threshold under the Rights Plan from five percent (5%) to fifteen percent (15%) and to delete the provisions of the Rights Plan relating to the Company's net operating loss carryforwards.
The Board's determination to amend the Rights Plan was based upon several considerations. The risk of an "ownership change" that would reduce the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards in the future is expected to decline in July 2010. An “ownership change” is generally a more than 50 percentage point increase in stock ownership, during a moving 3-year testing period, by stockholders owning or deemed to own five percent or more of the outstanding shares. A large stock transaction that occurred in July 2007 will be removed from the three-year testing period in July 2010.
In addition, the Company believes that the combination of the 5% ownership threshold in the current Rights Plan and the Company's relatively small size may dampen potential investor interest in the Company, including the interest of institutional investors. Also, the 5% threshold and the Company's size have resulted in inadvertent violations of the threshold through relatively small investments, which have created potential issues under the applicable tax provisions and diverted management time and attention.
In the event that the Company's risk of an "ownership change" increases in the future, the Company will consider at that time whether it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to reduce the ownership threshold in the Rights Plan. There can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will take actions in the future to fully preserve the Company's net operating loss carryforwards, given the costs and benefits associated with taking action. The Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $40.9 million as of January 2, 2010. However, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against all deferred income tax assets related to these net operating loss carryforwards due to the operating history of the Company's US operations.

TMNG Global Unveils SmartXchange (SM)

A Groundbreaking New Automated
Mobile Device Recapture Service
For Communications
Companies
New
Service Enables Mobile Operators to Proactively Incent Customers
to
Recycle their Mobile Devices
Overland Park, KS – May 19, 2010 – TMNG Global (NASDAQ: TMNG) a leading provider
of management consulting and software solutions to the global communications,
media and entertainment industries, is today unveiling its SmartXchangeSM solution, a groundbreaking new automated mobile device
recapture service for the communications industry. SmartXchangeSM helps wireless providers
realize multiple economic and environmental business benefits from the
collection and reuse of handsets and other
electronic devices.
Over
100 million wireless devices are replaced in the US each year; billions
worldwide. The EPA estimates that there are close to one billion unused
handsets that could eventually pollute landfills
with over 500,000 tons of toxic waste. “It
is imperative that communications providers proactively drive and manage the
collection and re-use of their handsets,”
said Rich Nespola, Chairman and CEO of TMNG Global. “In addition to the serious environmental
implications, there is also a pressing need for replacement parts to meet the
growing demand for refurbished handsets, particularly in emerging markets.”
TMNG
has leveraged its proprietary software Ascertain® to
develop the ground-breaking patent-pending software solution, upon which the SmartXchangeSM managed service offering
is based. This innovative solution provides
wireless operators with the tools they need to target desired handsets that are
valuable to their business operations or simply incent their customers to
return unwanted or used handsets, either to capitalize on resell opportunities
or for environmental purposes. TMNG can
provide a full portfolio of incentive offerings as part of the program or SmartXchangeSM can also be integrated
with any existing internal programs such as loyalty programs or company gift
card programs.
Mobile
handsets are just the first step. SmartXchangeSM can be configured to recapture any electronic device
or corporate asset, including set top boxes, laptops, PDAs and more. “In the new world of environmental economics,
SmartXchangeSM is a win-win for everyone. It enables communications providers to make a
significant contribution to the reduction of electronic devices in landfills;
while generating new revenue streams not envisioned just five years ago,” Mr.
Nespola added.
TMNG Global is now deploying the SmartXchangeSM solution for a major US
carrier and discussions are underway with a number of tier one operators
worldwide.

TMNG Global Reports 2010 First Quarter Results
By TMNG Press Releases @ 4:05 PM :: 128 Views
|
|
Overland Park, KS – May 13, 2010 – 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 2010 first quarter ended April 3, 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 first quarter of 2010 were $17.5 million, up from $14.2 million in the 2009 first quarter and $17.1 million in the 2009 fourth quarter. Revenue growth was driven by increased account activity at our largest customers, supported by strength across the Company’s practice areas. During the quarter, TMNG’s gross margin was 37.8%, compared with 38.6% in the first quarter of 2009. The margin reduction was due to increased efforts required on select fixed-price projects, utilization of our employee consultant base and continued pricing pressure.
TMNG Global reported a net loss of ($0.8) million on a GAAP basis, or ($0.11) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of ($2.2) million, or ($0.31) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009. After adjusting for the after tax impact of non-cash items, including net realized gains on auction rate securities, 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 2010. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was ($1.3) million, or ($0.18) per diluted share.
“Our first quarter operating performance met our expectations as we executed across our practice areas and benefitted from our core expertise in assisting our clients in maximizing opportunities for both the broadband and wireless arenas,” said Richard Nespola, TMNG Global Chairman and CEO. “Strong performance from our CSMG strategy group is usually a positive leading indicator for other business units of TMNG as clients begin to invest in new business initiatives. We are seeing strength in the early part of the year accompanied by a robust pipeline of potential opportunities. We remain confident in our ability to restore revenue growth and improve cash flow from operations in 2010, but also caution that the still-fragile economic recovery suggests business conditions will remain unpredictable quarter-to-quarter. As we progress along the path of economic recovery, we believe TMNG is well-positioned to capture its share of opportunities while remaining focused on maintaining a healthy balance sheet and carefully managing our cost structure.”
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 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.
Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call at 5:00 p.m. ET today to discuss 2010 first quarter results. Investors can access the conference call via a live webcast on the Company’s website, www.tmng.com, or by dialing 800-860-2442 in the United States or 412-858-4600 from international locations and referencing the TMNG Global call. A replay of the conference call will be archived on the Company’s website for one week. Additionally, a replay of the call will be available by dialing 877-344-7529, pass code 439776, through May 20, 2010.

Emergence of Mobile Health to Alleviate Key Health Care Industry Challenges, Finds CSMG Report

Emergence of Mobile Health to Alleviate Key Health Care Industry Challenges, Finds CSMG Report
mHealth to Create Significant Revenue Opportunities for Traditional Health Care and New Players Across the Telecommunications Industry
Overland Park, KS – March 19, 2010 – CSMG, the strategy division of TMNG Global (NASDAQ: TMNG), a leading provider of professional services, products and services to the converging communications, media and entertainment industries, today released its report on the state of the U.S. mobile health (mHealth) market, entitled: mHealth: Taking the Pulse. According to CSMG, while the mHealth market presents significant growth opportunities, when taking into account device, software, connectivity and overall service revenue streams, the market and ecosystem are fragmented, creating challenges for any single player to address the full breadth of opportunities.
“mHealth is well positioned to address the needs and evolution of the US health care delivery because it provides cost-efficient care delivery and increases access to quality health care,” said Rich Nespola, Chairman and CEO of TMNG Global. “The proliferation of embedded wireless connected devices and Smartphone growth creates significant transformational opportunities to deliver cost-effective and viable mobile health care options. However, broader reform of the health care industry structure is needed to reach the full potential for integrating mHealth into the U.S. health care delivery system.”
The report finds that the mHealth market will reach an estimated $4.6 billion opportunity by 2014, but will be fragmented across many solutions and device types. mHealth is already a significant market ($1.5B in estimated 2009 revenue including fixed telemedicine solutions), and is expected to grow over the next five years at a 25 percent CAGR (compound annual growth rate). If certain broad health care reforms are instituted, such as pay-for-performance, adoption could accelerate.
CSMG outlines seven key mHealth technology opportunities that comprise the market including monitoring, personal emergency response services (PERS), telemedicine, mobile medical equipment, mobile health information, RFID tracking and health/fitness software.
Among other key findings of the report: - In light of rapid rise in health care costs (already $2.5T in US and 17 percent of GDP), the FCC’s National Broadband Plan estimates $700 billion in savings over 15-25 years from teleHealth initiatives.
- mHealth will need to gain reimbursement from payers as clinical solutions. Insurance/Medicare-paid mHealth solutions offer tremendous potential revenues, but also pose business model risks if reimbursement rates are cut. New solutions must demonstrate proof of efficacy to win reimbursement codes and to date, results have been mixed.
- Emergence of affordable mass market consumer-grade health devices and software will provide consumers with unprecedented control and personal-responsibility for health.
- Given the complexity of mHealth, success will require collaboration across telecom and health care-centric players. For instance, mobile network operator and device OEMs’ market entry strategies must address build/buy/partner implications that vary by potential mHealth solution.
According to CSMG, four key drivers will influence the pace and direction of mHealth evolution:
- Mobile/connected device technology innovation drives near-to-mid-term growth.
- The appeal of mHealth will overcome short-term barriers on consumer concerns about the quality of mHealth solutions.
- Health care-specific technology developments such as adoption of electronic medical record (EMR) will remove barriers to mHealth adoption
- Broader health care industry reform will be required to reach the full market potential.
“While the mHealth market is creating significant opportunities for new players to enter the sector, there is no silver bullet for its success,” said Susan Simmons, Senior Vice President, CSMG. “Mobile network operators, device OEMs and software providers bring technology capabilities and consumer-brand assets that current health care players may lack. New collaborations and new business models with traditional health care players along with thorough evaluations on the mHealth solution approach will be key to establishing the mHealth industry for the long term.”
The report is based on executive interviews with key stakeholders in the mobile health ecosystem, including wireless service providers, health care software and hardware specialists, insurance providers, hospital systems and physician practices, as well as qualitative and quantitative strategic analysis of emerging trends and its impact on the mHealth market. The study examines the emerging dynamics of the mHealth industry and its implication for new players.

TMNG Global Reports 2009 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results
By TMNG Press Releases @ 4:05 PM :: 247 Views
|
|
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.
Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call at 5:00 p.m. ET today to discuss 2009 fourth quarter and full year results. Investors can access the conference call via a live webcast on the Company’s website, www.tmng.com, or by dialing 800-860-2442 in the United States or 412-858-4600 from international locations and referencing the TMNG Global call.
