SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights
- Net sales were $617.2 million
- GAAP net income of $6.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share
- Non-GAAP net income was $42.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share

- Announced consolidation of manufacturing footprint
Fourth Quarter 2022 GAAP Financial Results
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $617.2 million, compared to $598.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $97.6 million and includes a gain of $51.8 million in December 2022 from the sale of the property occupied by our former Shanghai E-MS entity. This compares to GAAP operating income of $33.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $6.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $8.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2021. Our fourth quarter 2022 results include a tax reserve of $51.7 million to establish a valuation allowance for certain U.S. deferred tax items.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Non-GAAP Financial Results
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $42.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $36.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $81.6 million, or 13.2% of sales compared to adjusted EBITDA of $70.4 million, or 11.8% of sales for the fourth quarter of 2021.
“TTM delivered non-GAAP earnings above the midpoint of guidance. Of particular note, we saw strong cash flow in the fourth quarter of $77.6 million, which allowed us to repay a portion of our Term Loan B on January 3rd, 2023, and reduce our net leverage to 1.5x, below our 2x target,” said Tom Edman, CEO of TTM. “We also saw the second quarter in a row of record bookings of $464.3 million in the Aerospace and Defense end market,” concluded Mr. Edman.
Full Year Fiscal 2022 Results
Net sales for fiscal year 2022 increased to $2.50 billion from $2.25 billion in fiscal year 2021, an 11.0% increase. Excluding approximately six months from the contribution of Telephonics, revenues grew organically 5.4% in 2022 over 2021.
GAAP operating income for fiscal year 2022 was $210.4 million, an increase from GAAP operating income of $126.0 million in fiscal year 2021.
GAAP net income for fiscal year 2022 was $94.6 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $54.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2021.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for fiscal year 2022 was $181.2 million, or $1.74 per diluted share. This compares to fiscal year 2021 non-GAAP net income of $138.0 million, or $1.28 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2022 was $343.1 million, or 13.8 percent of net sales, compared to $275.6 million, or 12.3 percent of net sales, for fiscal year 2021. Cash flow from operations for fiscal year 2022 was $272.9 million.
"We delivered solid results in 2022 with revenues growing organically 5.4% year on year, despite supply chain, labor inflation and availability, and COVID-19 challenges," continued Edman. “In addition, we closed the acquisition of Telephonics, increasing our revenues from the Aerospace and Defense end market to approximately one billion dollar annual run rate and approximately 40% of total company revenues. Finally, in 2022, we generated $272.9 million in operating cash flow which enabled us to purchase Telephonics and strengthen our balance sheet, while returning capital to our shareholders.”
Business Outlook
While demand in the Aerospace and Defense market remains strong, we have seen a reduction in bookings in our commercial end markets due to inventory reductions, weaker end market demand and production inefficiencies in our Asia Pacific manufacturing facilities due to Chinese New Year. As a result, TTM estimates that revenue for the first quarter of 2023 will be in the range of $550 million to $590 million, and non-GAAP net income will be in the range of $0.16 to $0.22 per diluted share. We also announced a plan for the consolidation of our manufacturing footprint in a press release issued today, February 8th, after the market close.

Forward-Looking Statements
The preliminary financial results included in this press release represent the most current information available to management. The company’s actual results when disclosed in its Form 10-K may differ from these preliminary results as a result of the completion of the company’s financial closing procedures; final adjustments; completion of the review by the company’s independent registered accounting firm; and other developments that may arise between now and the disclosure of the final results. This release contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events or performance. 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, 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, the impact of COVID-19, 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 factors set forth in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the Company's public reports filed with the SEC.
About Our Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes information about TTM’s adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share, all of 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.
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. 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. 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.
With respect to the Company’s outlook for non-GAAP net income per diluted share, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty or without unreasonable effort certain items that may affect a comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our expected non-GAAP net income per diluted share excludes primarily the future impact of restructuring actions, impairment charges, unusual gains and losses, and tax adjustments. These reconciling items are highly variable and difficult to predict due to various factors outside of management’s control and could have a material impact on our future period net income per diluted share calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income per diluted share to a comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort and has not been provided.

| 2 This information provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, and adjusted EBITDA to the financial information in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. | ||||||||||||
| 3 Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin measures exclude amortization of intangibles, accelerated depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized (gain) loss on commodity hedge, purchase accounting related inventory markup, restructuring and other charges. | ||||||||||||
| 4 Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin measures exclude amortization of intangibles, accelerated depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, gain on sale of assets, unrealized (gain) loss on commodity hedge, purchase accounting related inventory markup, restructuring, acquisition-related costs, and other charges. | ||||||||||||
| 5 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, accelerated depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense on debt (before consideration of capitalized interest), gain on sale of assets, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized (gain) loss on commodity hedge, purchase accounting related inventory markup, restructuring, acquisition-related costs, and other charges as well as the associated tax impact of these charges and discrete tax items -- provide additional useful information to investors regarding the Company's ongoing financial condition and results of operations. | ||||||||||||
| 6 Income tax adjustments reflect the difference between income taxes based on a non-GAAP tax rate and a forecasted annual GAAP tax rate. In addition, the non-GAAP rate in the fourth quarter of 2022 excludes the tax impact of $51,748 related to an increase in the U.S. valuation allowance. | ||||||||||||
| 7 Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, gain on sale of assets, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized (gain) loss on commodity hedge, purchase accounting related inventory markup, restructuring, acquisition-related costs, and other charges. 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. | ||||||||||||
