SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TTMI), North America's largest printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer, today reported results for the third quarter of 2007, ended October 1, 2007.
Third Quarter 2007 Highlights
-- TTM reported strong results for the third quarter, with
sequential improvement in all financial metrics.
-- The Company continued to pay down debt associated with the
Printed Circuit Group (PCG) acquisition, ahead of schedule.
TTM paid down $11 million in debt during the third quarter.
-- The Company reported a Book to Bill ratio of 1.23, exceeding
the North American Industry PCB Book to Bill ratio of 1.08 for
the three months ending in September 2007.
Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Third quarter net sales of $163.1 million improved over second quarter 2007 net sales of $162.0 million, primarily due to increasing demand for TTM's high-tech manufacturing services.
Third quarter gross margin of 19.2 percent increased 100 basis points from 18.2 percent gross margin reported in the second quarter of 2007.
Selling and marketing expense for the third quarter of 2007 was $7.1 million, representing 4.4 percent of sales. This compares to second quarter 2007 selling and marketing expense of $7.6 million, representing 4.7 percent of sales.
General and administrative expense, including amortization of intangibles, for the third quarter of 2007 was $9.0 million, representing 5.5 percent of sales. This compares to second quarter 2007 general and administrative expense, including amortization of intangibles, of $8.9 million, representing 5.5 percent of sales.
TTM posted operating income of $15.2 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared to $13.1 million for the second quarter of 2007.
Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $8.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $6.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the third quarter of 2007 was $22.2 million, compared with second quarter 2007 EBITDA of $20.1 million. (A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is provided after the GAAP financial statements accompanying this press release.)
"Robust demand for high-tech manufacturing services, combined with continued strength from our aerospace/defense customers, contributed to strong third quarter financial results," said Kent Alder, President and CEO of TTM. "However, the strong demand was tempered by softness in the computing end market." Alder concluded, "The Company had a strong level of bookings as evidenced by our book-to-bill ratio, which significantly exceeded the industry ratio and has rebounded from the beginning of the year."
Third Quarter Segment Information - PCB Manufacturing and Backplane Assembly
TTM Technologies' two reportable operating segments are PCB Manufacturing and Backplane Assembly.
For the PCB Manufacturing segment, net sales (before inter-segment sales) were $140.5 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared with $138.7 million in the second quarter of 2007. Operating segment income (before amortization of intangibles) was $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared with $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2007.
For the Backplane Assembly segment, net sales (before inter-segment sales) were $30.7 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared with $32.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. Operating segment income (before amortization of intangibles) was $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared with $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2007.
Balance Sheet
Cash and short-term investments at the end of the third quarter of 2007 totaled $27.3 million, compared with $26.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2007.
In the third quarter of 2007, TTM continued to pay down debt associated with the PCG acquisition significantly ahead of schedule. During the quarter, the Company reduced debt by $11 million, reducing the debt balance to $109 million at the end of the quarter. In October, the company repaid an additional $10 million. It is noteworthy that the Company has cut its debt in half in roughly one year's time. As a result, the corresponding interest expense is expected to be lower in future quarters.
Fourth Quarter Forecast
For the fourth quarter of 2007, TTM estimates revenues in a range of $164 million to $172 million and earnings in a range of $0.18 to $0.23 per diluted share. "The strength that we are seeing for the fourth quarter is broad-based across all of our end markets," said Alder. "We are pleased with our execution toward improving operational efficiency, and we believe that our increased size optimally positions us to continue to deliver best-in-class solutions to our customers and solid bottom-line financial performance."

* This information provides a reconciliation of EBITA/EBITDA to the
financial information in our consolidated statements of operations.
"EBITDA" means earnings before interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization. "EBITA" means earnings before interest
expense, income taxes and amortization. We present EBITDA / EBITA to
enhance the understanding of our operating results. EBITDA / EBITA is
a key measure we use to evaluate our operations. In addition, we
provide our EBITDA / EBITA because we believe that investors and
securities analysts will find EBITDA / EBITA 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, EBITDA / EBITA 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.
