TMNG Global Reports 2009 Third Quarter Results

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Nov. 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 2009 third quarter ended October 3, 2009.

Revenues in the third quarter of 2009 were $16.8 million, flat with the 2009
second quarter and down from $17.5 million in the third quarter of 2008 due
primarily to unfavorable exchange rate impact. On a constant currency basis
revenues increased slightly from the year-ago quarter. Stable sequential revenue
comparisons reflect the Company's execution on its strategy of focusing on
larger, long-term engagements. During the quarter, TMNG's gross margin was
40.8%, compared with 43.5% in the third quarter of 2008 and 43.6% in the second
quarter of 2009.

TMNG Global reported a net loss of ($0.5) million on a GAAP basis, or ($0.02)
per diluted share for the third quarter of 2009, compared to a prior-year net
loss of ($1.2) million, or ($0.03) per diluted share. The 2008 third quarter
included a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $1.1 million. After
adjusting for the after tax impact of non-cash charges, including the impairment
charge, net realized gains on auction rate securities, depreciation,
amortization and share-based compensation, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $0.5
million, or $0.01 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2009. The
comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was
$1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.

"TMNG's performance in the third quarter was consistent with our expectations
and a direct result of our strategy of deepening our relationships with top
revenue generating clients while keeping a tight reign on expenses. By executing
on these initiatives, we maintained a stable revenue level on a sequential
basis, held margins within our target range, and have generated slightly
positive cash flows from operations year-to-date," said Richard Nespola, TMNG
Global Chairman and CEO. "While our fourth quarter is subject to seasonal
unpredictability, we are focused on positioning the company to benefit from
positive business indicators heading into 2010. The most notable of those
leading indicators is the increasing demand for bandwidth, especially via mobile
applications, which is driving investment and consolidation across the
communications, media and entertainment industries we serve. As economic
conditions improve and growth opportunities emerge, TMNG stands ready
strategically and operationally to capitalize."

Financial Results for the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 3, 2009

For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2009, revenues were $47.8 million,
compared with $59.6 million in the comparable year-ago period. TMNG Global's
gross margin was 41.1% during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2009,
compared with 45.7% in the comparable year-ago period.

Net loss for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2009 was ($3.1) million or
($0.09) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($9.8) million or ($0.28)
per diluted share in the comparable year-ago period. GAAP results included $10.2
million in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in 2008. The
non-GAAP adjusted net loss, excluding the after tax impact of non-cash expenses,
including the impairment charges, net realized gains on auction rate securities,
depreciation and amortization expense, and share-based compensation, was
approximately ($0.1) million, or ($0.00) per diluted share, for the thirty-nine
weeks ended October 3, 2009. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the
thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2008 was approximately $5.5 million, or
$0.15 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. 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.
