TTM Technologies, Inc. Reports 2010 Second Quarter Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., Aug. 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTMI), a major global printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer, today reported results for the second quarter of 2010, ended June 28, 2010.

Second Quarter Highlights

  --  In the second quarter, we reported record revenue of $310 million, which
      exceeded the $300 million midpoint of our guidance range.
  --  GAAP earnings were $0.06 per diluted share, and non-GAAP earnings were
      $0.26 per diluted share in the second quarter. The combination with
      Meadville Holdings Ltd. was accretive to non-GAAP earnings per share
      this quarter.
  --  The integration with Meadville is on track with our expectations.

Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results - GAAP

Second quarter net sales of $310.2 million increased $172.0 million, or 124 percent, from first quarter net sales of $138.2 million. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the combination with Meadville.

Second quarter operating income of $17.4 million increased from first quarter operating income of $9.9 million. We recorded charges of $14.6 million in the second quarter and $2.8 million in the first quarter related to previously announced plant closures, impairment of long-lived assets, transaction costs and inventory adjustments. Net income attributable to stockholders for the second quarter was $4.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income in the first quarter of $4.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share.

"We are very pleased with the business performance across the board and excited about the major contribution from our new Asia Pacific operations in the second quarter," said Kent Alder, President and CEO of TTM. "Our integration with Meadville is on track, and further good news is that the Meadville business combination was accretive to non-GAAP earnings in the second quarter, which was earlier than originally expected."

"Our facilities are busy with solid backlogs and high levels of capacity utilization," Alder said. "The added capacity and diversity of the Asia Pacific operations fits extremely well with our growth strategy as a global company."

Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results - Non-GAAP

Non-GAAP results for the second quarter add back amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, asset impairment and restructuring charges, inventory adjustments, costs related to the Meadville transaction and miscellaneous closing costs as well as the income tax effects related to these expenses.

Second quarter 2010 non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders was $19.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. This compares to first quarter 2010 non-GAAP net income of $8.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization), which adds back the controlling portion of depreciation and other expenses as well as asset impairment charges, for the second quarter was $32.6 million, or 10.5 percent of net sales, compared to first quarter adjusted EBITDA of $15.1 million, or 10.9 percent of net sales.

Second Quarter 2010 Segment Information

TTM Technologies reports operating segments for North America and Asia Pacific. The North America segment includes our U.S. operations as well as our Shanghai backplane assembly operation, since that business is managed in conjunction with our U.S. based printed circuit board operations. Our Asia Pacific segment includes our PCB manufacturing facilities in Hong Kong and China.

For the North America segment, second quarter 2010 sales (before inter-segment sales) were $138.9 million, compared with $138.2 million in the first quarter. Second quarter operating segment income (before amortization of intangibles) was $6.2 million, compared to operating segment income of $10.7 million in the first quarter. Excluding the charges related to plant closures, impairment of long-lived assets, and the transaction costs, second quarter operating income (before amortization of intangibles) would have been $14.1 million, compared to operating segment income of $13.4 million in the first quarter.

For the Asia Pacific segment, second quarter 2010 sales (before inter-segment sales and based on the completion of the combination on April 8, 2010) were $173.1 million. Second quarter operating segment income (before amortization of intangibles) was $15.8 million. Excluding the inventory fair value adjustment of $6.7 million related to the business combination, second quarter operating income (before amortization of intangibles) would have been $22.4 million.

About Our Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes information about the Company's non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share, 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 our debt, asset impairment and restructuring charges, inventory adjustments, costs related to the Meadville Holdings transaction and miscellaneous closing costs as well as the associated tax impact of these charges -- provide 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 with 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.

  1 This information provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and
   non-GAAP EPS to the financial information in our consolidated statements of operations.

  2 Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to stockholders adjusted for
   controlling portion of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and
   asset impairment. 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 is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles
   ("GAAP") in the United States of America, and it may not be comparable to similarly
   titled measures by other companies. 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.

  3 Excludes noncontrolling interest portion.

  4 This information provides non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, 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 our debt (before consideration of capitalized interest), asset impairment and
   restructuring charges, inventory write-down related to facility closures, inventory fair
   value adjustment, costs related to the Meadville Holdings transaction and miscellaneous
   closing costs as well as the associated tax impact of these charges --- provide
   additional useful information to investors regarding the Company's ongoing financial
   condition and results of operations.
