SCHAFFER@BRAINCOMM.COM CAROLYN.COVEYMORRIS@TMNG.COM Ray Yeung (Media) 888.480.TMNG (8664) YEUNG@BRAINCOMM.COM 212.986.6667 TMNG REPORTS 2003 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS OVERLAND PARK, KS - OCTOBER 30, 2003 -- The Management Network Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: TMNG), a leading provider of management consulting services to the global communications industry, today reported financial results for its 2003 third quarter ended September 27, 2003. Revenue in the third quarter of 2003 was $4.7 million, compared with $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2002. Net loss for the quarter was $2.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in last year's third quarter. In the third quarter of 2003, a valuation allowance of $0.8 million was recorded, offsetting all income tax benefits associated with pre-tax losses generated in the third quarter. Pro forma non-GAAP net loss (defined as GAAP net loss as reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations plus equity-related charges, intangibles amortization, and intangible asset impairment, all in accordance with GAAP and assuming a standard 40% effective income tax rate) for the quarter was $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with pro forma non-GAAP net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2002. During the quarter, gross margin was 46.8% compared with 48.8% in the third quarter of 2002, due primarily to decreased revenues, which led to lower consultant utilization. The company continues to maintain a sound balance sheet, including a cash position of $49.4 million, virtually no long-term debt, stockholders' equity of $92.7 million, and working capital of approximately $59.9 million. Cash and working capital have been reduced by $4.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, since year-end due to the weak revenue environment; however, the company anticipates that it will substantially reverse the year-to-date negative cash flow in the fourth quarter. Revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 totaled $17.1 million, compared with $26.0 million in the first nine months of 2002. Gross margin year-to-date in 2003 was 48.6% compared with 49.5% in the comparable period of 2002. Net loss for the first nine months was $22.6 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in the comparable period of 2002. Pro forma non-GAAP net loss was $3.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $2.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share a year ago. Results for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 included a non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $18.9 million and $6.0 million valuation reserve partially offsetting income tax benefits generated on pre-tax losses incurred in fiscal 2003. "Third quarter results were disappointing, but were most impacted by a softer-than-expected August that masked a pickup in new business and pipeline activity since Labor Day," said Rich Nespola, Chairman and CEO. "We see clear signs that leading wireless and wireline providers are preparing to embark on major projects, though timing of capital allocation remains unpredictable. We signed nine new customers in the third quarter and have seen improved sales momentum in recent weeks. In addition, we continue to aggressively reduce expenses. We have also worked diligently as a company and in concert with our channel partners to position TMNG for several promising potential engagement opportunities in the near future. In light of these developments and our signed engagements to date, we are optimistic that TMNG's fourth quarter will show significant sequential improvement in quarterly revenue performance, as well as significant positive cash flow."
