TMNG GLOBAL REPORTS 2008 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

Overland Park, KS – February 26, 2009 – 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 2008 fourth quarter (a fourteen week quarter) and full year ended January 3, 2009.

Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 were $14.4 million compared to revenues of $20.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $17.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. Revenue comparisons were affected by reduced customer spending in light of global macroeconomic trends, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange impact. During the quarter, TMNG Global’s gross margin was 39.8%, compared with 47.4% in the fourth quarter of 2007. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower utilization of consulting personnel on billable projects in the fourth quarter of 2008, especially during the December holiday season, as well as the mix of consulting engagements.

TMNG Global reported a net loss of ($5.0) million or ($0.14) per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to net income of $480,000, or $0.01 per diluted share in last year’s fourth quarter. The fourth quarter net loss included a goodwill impairment charge of $4.3 million and a charge related to the valuation of the Company’s auction rate securities of $280,000. All previously disclosed auction rate security valuation adjustments were recorded within other comprehensive income. Excluding these items and adjusting for the after tax impact of non-cash charges, including depreciation,

amortization and share-based compensation of $1.1 million, TMNG Global generated non-GAAP adjusted net income of $679,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2008. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, which also included an adjustment for expenses related to the review of the Company’s option granting practices, was $2.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.

“While challenging, 2008 was a productive year for TMNG, demonstrated by our year-over-year revenue growth, significant customer wins, and the successful and seamless integration of our recent acquisitions. We also maintained profitability on a cash earnings basis despite the pronounced macroeconomic difficulties that emerged in the second half of the year,” said Richard Nespola, TMNG Global Chairman and CEO. “As the economic crisis unfolded, we took quick and decisive action by managing our business to lower levels of customer spending while focusing on the Company’s ability to deliver value. We expect the 2009 environment to remain challenging. Therefore, we have focused on securing longer term commitments from our larger customers while continuously aligning our overhead with the realities of the economic climate. Our consulting and software offerings play into important client needs in difficult times by assisting service providers in maximizing the efficiency of their platforms while ensuring the integrity of their revenue stream. These core competencies combined with our healthy balance sheet and flexible operating model should serve us well until visibility improves.”

Financial Results for the Fifty-Three Weeks Ended January 3, 2009

For the fifty-three weeks ended January 3, 2009, revenues increased to $74.0 million, compared with $71.9 million in the fifty-two week period ended December 29, 2007. TMNG Global’s gross margin was 44.6% for the year ended January 3, 2009, compared with 46.8% for the prior year.

Net loss for the fifty-three weeks ended January 3, 2009 was ($14.8) million or ($0.42) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($2.3) million or ($0.07) per diluted share for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2007. GAAP results in 2008 include goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $14.5 million and the auction rate securities valuation adjustment of $280,000. Non-GAAP adjusted net income, adjusted for the after tax impact of non-cash expenses, including the impairment charges, ARS write-down, depreciation and amortization expense, and share-based compensation, was approximately $6.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the fifty-three weeks ended January 3, 2009. The comparable non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29,

2007 was $5.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, which also excluded expenses related to the review of the Company’s option granting practices and a gain on settlement of a foreign tax withholding dispute.

For the fifty-three weeks ended January 3, 2009, cash flow from operations was $6.1 million, compared to $1.4 million in the fifty-two week year-ago period.

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 (Loss) Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income” 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. 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 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 Global’s results.
