Trunkbow Updates 2012 Guidance

BEIJING, Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trunkbow International Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: TBOW) ("Trunkbow" or the "Company"), a leading provider of Mobile Payment Solutions ("MPS") and Mobile Value Added Services ("MVAS") in the PRC, today announced that it has revised its full-year 2012 net income guidance to approximately $17.0 million from $23.0 million due to the revised timing of customer orders that are now expected to be completed in the first half of 2013.

"Our business remains strong and we are confident in our growth prospects. The second phases of two large-scale cloud computing projects, which we had expected to recognize in the fourth quarter of 2012, have been temporarily delayed due to our customers' internal timeline adjustments. We now expect to realize these projects in the first half of 2013," said Mr. Qiang Li, CEO of Trunkbow. "In addition to our cloud computing projects, we expect a significant ramp in MPS activity as we leverage our first-mover advantage and technological superiority to capture new opportunities in the nascent mobile payment market in China.

"We are making important progress in our merchant and subscriber acquisition initiatives and continue to strengthen the foundation for growth over the long-term by transitioning from an infrastructure developer to a full solutions provider and transaction processor. Recent product development initiatives have gained us entry into new market segments, including banking and credit cards, location-based mobile couponing and hosted services. These service portfolio enhancements have helped us build upon the core value of MPS as a simple, convenient payment method and turn it into an important customer engagement tool for merchants. We are also increasing the value proposition for consumers as we make the technology into a platform through which consumers can not only make purchases, but safely and effectively manage their digital lives," Mr. Li concluded.
