OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Feb. 25, 2008 (PRIME 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 2007 fourth quarter and full year ended December 29, 2007.
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007 were $20.8 million, up 142% over revenues of $8.6 million in the prior year period, reflecting the contribution of our acquisitions of TWG Consulting, RVA Consulting and Cartesian, our software solutions segment, as well as strong performance from organic management consulting. During the quarter, TMNG's gross margin was 47.4%, compared with 48.7% in the fourth quarter of 2006.
TMNG Global reported net income of $480,000, or $0.01 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to a net loss of ($5.1) million, or ($0.14) per diluted share in last year's fourth quarter. After adjusting for expenses related to the review of the Company's option granting practices, as well as the after-tax impact of non-cash expense related to depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, TMNG Global generated non-GAAP adjusted net income of $2.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2007. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 was ($1.9) million, or ($0.05) per diluted share.
The Company ended the fourth quarter with cash and short-term investments of $27.1 million, working capital of approximately $32.1 million, no long-term debt, and stockholders' equity of $55.8 million.
"TMNG Global has re-emerged as a differentiated provider of solutions to an array of communications, media, entertainment and other companies grappling with convergent technologies. This past year was pivotal in this re-emergence, as evidenced by the successful completion of three acquisitions, the diversification of our client base and exiting 2007 with a return to profitability," said Rich Nespola, TMNG Global Chairman and CEO. "Structurally, our business is healthier and more diverse both by service line and geography, with a strengthening revenue base supported by a global clientele and a better leveraged operating model that allows flexibility. Our focus in 2008, with the encouragement of our Board of Directors, is to continue building the business both organically and through acquisition to deliver sustained growth and profitability in the years ahead. While the economic environment is uncertain, our near-term book of business looks strong."
Financial Results for the Fifty-Two Weeks Ended December 29, 2007
For the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2007, revenues increased 111% to $71.9 million, compared with $34.0 million in 2006. For the year, revenues from our Cartesian, RVA and TWG acquisitions contributed approximately $34.6 million in revenues. TMNG's gross margin was 46.8% for the year, compared with 48.4% in 2006.
Net loss for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2007 was ($2.3) million or ($0.07) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($12.4) million or ($0.35) per diluted share a year-ago. Non-GAAP net income, adjusted for a tax-related gain recorded in the third quarter of 2007, expenses related to the review of the Company's option granting practices, as well as the after-tax impact of non-cash expense related to depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, was approximately $5.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the full year of 2007. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net loss for 2006 was ($5.7) million, or ($0.16) per diluted share.
In addition to reporting net income (loss) and net income (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 Income (Loss) to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" that accompanies this press release. In making these non-GAAP adjustments, the Company took into account the impact of certain items that are generally not expected to be on-going in nature and certain non-cash expenses and benefits, including tax effects as applicable. 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's comparative operating performance for the periods presented.
TMNG's management uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures in its own evaluation of the Company's performance, particularly when comparing performance to the prior year's period. TMNG's non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Although TMNG's management believes non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the performance of its business, TMNG acknowledges that items excluded from such measures may have a material impact on the Company's net income (loss) and net income (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's results.
