TTM Technologies, Inc. Updates First Quarter 2014 Outlook

COSTA MESA, Calif., April 10, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTMI), a major global printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer, today updated its outlook for the first quarter of 2014.

TTM expects first quarter revenue to be at the low end of its prior guidance range of $290 million to $310 million. While operating performance was consistent with its guidance, the Company expects to incur an unrealized, non-cash foreign exchange loss of approximately $3.6 million, ($0.03) per diluted share, in the quarter due to the rapid depreciation of the Chinese RMB against the U.S. dollar. As a result of this foreign exchange loss, the Company expects non-GAAP earnings in the range of breakeven to $0.02 per diluted share, compared to its previous guidance of non-GAAP earnings in the range of $0.03 to $0.09 per diluted share.
