STAMFORD, CT – June 18, 2008 - MTM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTMC), a leading national provider of innovative IT solutions and services to Global 2000 and mid-size companies, today announced that it has received $6.5 million in additional funding to improve its working capital position.

Columbia Partners LLC, MTM’s existing secured debt facility lender, increased the existing debt amount by lending an additional $3.0 million. Columbia also agreed to ease certain financial covenants on a temporary basis. MTM Technologies agreed to increase the interest rate due upon repayment of the principal as part of the new loan agreement.

MTM’s existing investors, Pequot Ventures and Constellation Ventures, agreed to loan MTM a combined $3.5 million with $3.0 million from Pequot and $0.5 million from Constellation.  Principal and interest are due in December 2009, with interest payable in cash or preferred stock at MTM Technologies’ option.  As part of the loan agreement, Pequot and Constellation will receive 797,849 warrants and 129,032 warrants respectively to purchase shares of preferred stock at an exercise price range between $0.375 and $0.3875.  Pequot also agreed to modify the existing MTM notes, executed in February and amended in March 2008 totaling $2.5 million, to extend the date by which principal and interest is due to December 2009.

MTM Technologies’ credit facility lender, GE CDF, also modified its agreement to ease certain financial covenants on a temporary basis and to allow MTM to proceed with the new funding.

Steve Stringer, President and COO stated, “Our relationship with our investors and lenders is a key component of our business. We believe the additional financing and modifications in agreement terms by Columbia, GE CDF and our investors demonstrate their belief in our business model and will help us enhance our customer and vendor confidence.”

As previously announced, MTM expects to report financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and full year 2008 ended March 31, 2008, after U.S. financial markets close on Monday, June 23, 2008, and will host an earnings conference call on Tuesday, June 24, 2008, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) to discuss the financial results. In advance of this release and call, the Company reported today that EBITDA for the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 was a positive $253 thousand as compared to a loss of $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.  EBITDA for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 was a positive $3.8 million as compared to a loss of $14.5 million in fiscal 2007. 
 
 
 

 

“We are extremely pleased with our positive EBITDA turnaround of $18 million for fiscal year 2008 and we continue to work hard to manage our costs. In this regard, we recently took a proactive initiative during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 to reduce expenses by approximately $4 million.  This coupled with the earlier cost reduction should result in a reduction of approximately $8 million of SG&A costs,” said Jay Braukman, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

MTM Technologies’ expects the previously announced one for fifteen reverse stock split to be effective on June 26, 2008. The Company believes an increase in the Company’s stock price and the additional investments should generate investor interest, assist in attracting and retaining employees, and improve the Company’s prospects with customers and vendors.

As previously reported, MTM appealed the NASDAQ staff delisting determination by requesting a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel. MTM will request time for the reverse stock split to be completed and take effect to increase the Company’s stock price above the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for the required time period. The hearing before the NASDAQ Panel is scheduled for July 10, 2008.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
MTM Technologies believes that EBITDA, which is not a recognized measure for financial presentation under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), provides investors and management with a useful supplemental measure of its operating performance by excluding the impact of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation and other expense.  A table reconciling net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA is included in the financial statements in this release.  EBITDA does not have any standardized definition and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting companies.
