TNS, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results

TNS, Inc. (NYSE: TNS), a leading provider of business-critical, cost-effective data communications services for transaction-oriented applications, today reported its third quarter 2012 results.

Henry H. Graham, Jr., CEO, commented, “Third quarter 2012 results were in line with our reduced outlook, with revenues down 2% and adjusted earnings per share growing 4% in constant currency from the third quarter last year. We continued to manage the challenges in our core businesses, including consolidation in the Telecommunication and Financial Services Divisions and softer global demand for dial-up transaction volumes in Payments, through careful cost containment and maximizing cash returns. We continued to reinvest this cash into our growth initiatives, which performed well in the period, as we evolve our business model toward mobile applications, gateway services and roaming and clearing. Overall, we are on track to meet our revised expectations for the year and have narrowed our outlook to the upper end of the previous range. For 2013, we will continue to transform our business toward growth and preliminarily expect to achieve earnings growth in constant dollars through stable revenue generation and the expansion of operating leverage as we transition our product mix to higher margin services, continue to manage costs, and reduce interest expense.”
