TMNG Global Reports 2011 Second Quarter Results


OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Aug. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TMNG Global (Nasdaq:TMNG), a premier provider of professional services and software solutions to global leaders in the communications, digital media, and technology industries, reported financial results for its 2011 second quarter ended July 2, 2011.

"TMNG Global made good progress in the second quarter executing on several key operational objectives to position the business for sustained growth. We are seeing opportunities in the important areas of cable transformation and cloud computing as well as our Ascertain and SmartXchange software solutions, complemented by steady sequential revenue performance from U.S. telecommunications carriers," said Richard Nespola, TMNG Global Chairman and CEO. "Overall we are encouraged by the opportunities before us, which reflect significant strategic and business activity in the communications, digital media, and technology sectors that we serve. The choppy macroeconomic environment continues to limit visibility, but our business trends leave us cautiously optimistic looking into the second half of 2011."

Financial Results for the Thirteen Weeks Ended July 2, 2011

Revenues in the second quarter of 2011 were $17.1 million, compared to $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2011. Year-over-year revenue growth was driven by strength from cable and cloud computing engagements, offset by declines in strategic consulting services. During the quarter, TMNG's gross margin was 39.4%, compared with 39.1% in the second quarter of 2010 and 37.3% in the first quarter of 2011.

TMNG Global reported a net loss of ($1.0) million on a GAAP basis, or ($0.15) per diluted share for the second quarter of 2011, compared with a net loss of ($0.5) million, or ($0.07) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010. After adjusting for the after tax impact of net realized losses or gains on auction rate securities, depreciation and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense, non-GAAP adjusted net loss was ($0.2) million, or ($0.03) per diluted share during the second quarter of 2011. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $0.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share.

The GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 include approximately $0.07 and $0.02, respectively, per diluted share in severance expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.6 million as of July 2, 2011 as compared to $6.8 million as of January 1, 2011.

Financial Results for the Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 2, 2011

For the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2011, revenues were $34.1 million, compared with $34.4 million in the comparable period of fiscal year 2010. TMNG Global's gross margin was 38.4% during the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2011, compared with 38.5% in the comparable period of fiscal year 2010.

Net loss for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2011 was ($2.2) million or ($0.31) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($1.3) million or ($0.18) per diluted share in the comparable period of fiscal year 2010. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss, adjusted for the after tax impact of net realized losses or gains on auction rate securities, depreciation and amortization expense, and share-based compensation, was approximately ($0.9) million, or ($0.12) per diluted share, for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2011. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2010 was $0.4 million or $0.05 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 (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 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.
