TTM Technologies, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results

COSTA MESA, Calif., Aug. 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTMI), a major global printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer, today reported results for the second quarter of 2013, which ended July 1, 2013.

Second Quarter 2013 Highlights

Net sales were $338.0 million
GAAP net income attributable to stockholders was $13.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share
Non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders was $7.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share
Non-GAAP gross margin was 14.4 percent

Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Net sales for the second quarter of 2013 increased 3.9 percent to $338.0 million from $325.4 million in the first quarter of 2013 and 3.2 percent from $327.4 million in the second quarter of 2012.

GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2013 was $28.3 million compared to operating income of $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $18.1 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Included in operating results for the second quarter of 2013 was a gain of $17.9 million resulting from TTM's sale of its equity interest in the SYE plant. Excluding this gain, operating income was $10.4 million.

GAAP net income attributable to stockholders for the second quarter of 2013 was $13.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. This compares to GAAP net income attributable to stockholders of $5.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013 and $7.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2012.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income attributable to stockholders for the second quarter of 2013 was $7.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders of $9.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013 and $13.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 was $39.1 million, or 11.6 percent of net sales, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $41.5 million, or 12.7 percent of net sales, for the first quarter of 2013 and $45.1 million, or 13.8 percent of net sales, for the second quarter of 2012.

On June 17, 2013, TTM completed the transaction to sell its controlling equity interest in the SYE plant and to acquire the remaining equity interest in the DMC plant. The remaining portion of the cash settlement for this transaction is pending and expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2013. It will generate approximately $80 million net for TTM. This transaction reduces TTM's footprint for conventional PCBs in Asia Pacific and over time is expected to improve capacity utilization and gross margins.

"Overall results for the second quarter were in line with our guidance," said Kent Alder, CEO of TTM. "During the quarter, we experienced broad-based strength in our networking and communications end market in both Asia Pacific and North America. We saw some softness in our computing end market while our other end markets remained steady."

"Operating cash flow was strong in the second quarter. We generated $58.7 million in operating cash flow, which supports our growth initiatives through manufacturing capacity expansion and productivity enhancements. With the completion of the SYE and DMC transaction and expected normal seasonal strength in the third and fourth quarters, we believe that TTM is well positioned for improved margin performance in the second half of 2013," concluded Mr. Alder.

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2013, TTM estimates that revenue will be in the range of $335 million to $355 million, and non-GAAP earnings attributable to stockholders in a range from $0.13 to $0.19 per diluted share.

About Our Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes information about the Company's non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders and non-GAAP earnings per share attributable to stockholders, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company presents non-GAAP financial information to enable investors to see the company through the eyes of management and to provide better insight into the Company's ongoing financial performance.

Management believes that the non-GAAP financial information – which add back amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense on debt, asset impairments, restructuring and other unusual or infrequent items (such as the gain realized on the SYE transaction) as well as the associated tax impact of these items – provides additional useful information to investors regarding the Company's ongoing financial condition and results of operations.

A material limitation associated with the use of the above 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. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing full disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor Statement

This release contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events or performance. These statements reflect the Company's current expectations, and the Company does not undertake to update or revise these forward-looking statements, even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied in this or other company statements will not be realized. Furthermore, readers are cautioned that these statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the company'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, the company's dependence upon the electronics industry, contemplated significant capital expenditures and related financing requirements, the Company's dependence upon a small number of customers, the unpredictability of and potential fluctuation in future revenues and operating results and other "Risk Factors" set forth in the Company's most recent SEC filings.

¹Certain reclassifications of prior year end market percentages have been made to conform to the current year presentation. Beginning in the first quarter of 2013, we reclassified substrate PCBs, which were included in the Other end market, into the end markets that the substrate PCBs are sold into - predominantly Cellular Phone.

²This information provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders, non-GAAP EPS attributable to stockholders, and adjusted EBITDA to the financial information in our consolidated statements of operations.

³Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin measures exclude amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation expense.

⁴Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin measures exclude amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, and gain on sale of assets.

⁵ This information provides non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders and non-GAAP EPS attributable to stockholders, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that both measures -- which add back amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense on debt (before consideration of capitalized interest) and gain on sale of assets as well as the associated tax impact of these charges and out of period tax items -- provide additional useful information to investors regarding the Company's ongoing financial condition and results of operations.

⁶ Previously, the adjustment reported represented the tax effect of other non-GAAP adjustments. We have changed the definition such that the amount now represents the adjustment necessary to remove the effect of out of period tax items as well as the tax effect of the other non-GAAP adjustments shown in the table. All prior periods have been changed to conform to this methodology.

⁷ Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, and gain on sale of assets. We present adjusted EBITDA to enhance the understanding of our operating results, and it is a key measure we use to evaluate our operations. In addition, we provide our adjusted EBITDA because we believe that investors and securities analysts will find adjusted EBITDA to be a useful measure for evaluating our operating performance and comparing our operating performance with that of similar companies that have different capital structures and for evaluating our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. However, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
