Financial Outlook

As previously announced, given the uncertainties in the overall economy, MTM has withdrawn any previous financial guidance and is suspending future guidance.

Steve Stringer, President and Chief Executive Officer, said "While our third quarter top line was disappointing, we are pleased that we have remained EBITDA positive and maintained impressive product and service margins. We believe the additional financing and modifications by Columbia, GE CDF and FirstMark further demonstrate their support and belief in our business model even in this current global economic environment."

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 because it more closely approximates the cash generating ability of the Company as compared to operating income (loss). EBITDA excludes 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.
