COSTA MESA, Calif., April 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTMI) ("TTM"), a major global printed circuit board ("PCB") manufacturer, today updated its first quarter 2015 guidance in conjunction with its ongoing financing activities related to its previously announced proposed acquisition of Viasystems Group, Inc.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events or performance, including TTM's financial results for the first quarter of 2015. TTM cautions you that such statements are simply predictions and actual events or results may differ materially. These statements reflect TTM's current expectations, and TTM does not undertake to update or revise these forward-looking statements except as required by law, even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied in this or other TTM statements will not be realized. Further, these statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond TTM's control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general market and economic conditions, including interest rates, currency exchange rates and consumer spending, demand for TTM's products, market pressures on prices of TTM's products, warranty claims, changes in product mix, contemplated significant capital expenditures and related financing requirements, TTM's dependence upon a small number of customers and other "Risk Factors" set forth in TTM's most recent SEC filings.
About Our Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes information about TTM's expected non-GAAP earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. TTM presents non-GAAP financial information to enable investors to see TTM through the eyes of management and to provide better insight into TTM's ongoing financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, gain on sale of assets, asset impairments, restructuring, costs related to acquisitions, and other charges. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial information—which adds back amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense on debt, acquisition-related costs, asset impairments, restructuring and other unusual or infrequent items as well as the associated tax impact of these charges and discrete tax items—provides additional useful information to investors regarding TT'M's ongoing financial condition and results of operations.
A material limitation associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures is that they have no standardized measurement prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. TTM compensates for these limitations by providing full disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2014, please see TTM's press release dated April 30, 2014. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
