Brainerd Communicators Janet Hall Maggie Duquin / Ray Yeung (Media) Janet.Hall@tmng.com duquin@braincomm.com / yeung@braincomm.com 800.876.5329 212.986.6667 Corey Kinger (Investors) kinger@braincomm.com 212.986.6667 TMNG GLOBAL PROVIDES 2006 FOURTH QUARTER BUSINESS UPDATE Overland Park, KS - February 15, 2007 - TMNG Global (Nasdaq: TMNG), a leading provider of management consulting services to the global communications, media and entertainment industries, today reported revenue growth of 38%, to $8.6 million, for its fourth quarter ended December 30, 2006. Revenue for the full fiscal year was up 12%, to $34.0 million. The revenue results reported in this press release are unaudited and have not been reviewed by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. As previously announced, because of the ongoing Special Committee review of the Company's historical stock option practices and related accounting, the Company will not be in a position to announce full financial results for the fourth quarter or full year 2006 until the Special Committee's review has been completed and a determination of the appropriate stock-based compensation expense has been made. The quarter included the following operational and business highlights and developments: o Revenue contribution of 44% from the CSMG Adventis strategy consulting unit and 48% from the company's core management consulting offerings, including the continued acceleration of TMNG's cable practice; o Addition of 16 new customers, for a total of 61 new customers added in 2006; o Execution of planned cost reductions, primarily related to TMNG's European operations, resulting in an estimated annual SG&A savings in excess of $5 million based on our third quarter 2006 run rate, excluding all expenses in connection with the Special Committee review; o The acquisition on January 2, 2007 of Cartesian Ltd., a U.K.-based technical consultancy and software engineering firm, for $7.3 million plus potential future performance-based consideration; o A year-end balance of approximately $38.3 million in cash and short-term investments and no long-term debt compared to approximately $42.1 million in cash and short-term investments at July 1, 2006. The decline in cash and short-term investments during the second half of 2006 was primarily attributable to operating losses offset by improvements in working capital; o Operating losses for the quarter include costs associated with the special committee review of $720,000. "We believe TMNG's revenue growth of the last two years demonstrates a successful diversification of our client portfolio and an enhancement of our service offerings throughout the converging universe of communications, media and entertainment," said Rich Nespola, TMNG Global Chairman and CEO. "Our revenue growth has been achieved both organically, and more recently, through acquisition with the addition of the international consulting operations of Adventis Ltd. With Cartesian added to our team, TMNG is now positioned as a global consultancy that can take telecom, media and entertainment clients from strategy to solutions to implementation with particular emphasis on wireless mobility, IP transformation and cable telephony. "Looking ahead in 2007, we expect to see the top-line opportunities afforded by our expanded geographic presence and product and service offerings, while harvesting the benefits of operating expense reductions implemented in the fourth quarter," continued Nespola. "Our goal is to build a solidly profitable company with sustained revenue growth capability, a goal that we think is becoming more achievable through our strengthened positioning in the converging and fast-moving communications marketplace."
