Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Net sales for the second quarter of 2017 were $627.2 million, compared to $601.8 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $625.2 million in the first quarter of 2017.

GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2017 was $45.1 million, compared to $34.7 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $52.6 million in the first quarter of 2017. 

GAAP net income attributable to stockholders for the second quarter of 2017 was $20.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share.  This compares to a GAAP net income attributable to stockholders of $18.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016 and a GAAP net income of $33 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2017. 

On a non-GAAP basis, net income attributable to stockholders for the second quarter of 2017 was $33.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders of $28.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016 and $39.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017 was $85.5 million, or 13.6 percent of net sales, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $90.2 million, or 15.0 percent of net sales, for the second quarter of 2016 and $95.6 million, or 15.3 percent of net sales, for the first quarter of 2017.

“TTM delivered the third consecutive quarter of year on year organic growth at 4 percent and our operating performance was in line with our expectations” said Tom Edman, CEO of TTM.  “On a year over year basis, most end markets grew, with the fastest growth coming from the cellular, computing, automotive and the aerospace and defense end markets.  Absent a foreign exchange loss due to the weakening dollar, operating results were towards the high end of guidance.” 

Business Outlook
For the third quarter of 2017, TTM estimates that revenue will be in the range of $625 million to $675 million, and non-GAAP net income attributable to stockholders will be in the range of $0.29 to $0.35 per diluted share.  “Our third quarter is being impacted by a slower start in the normal seasonal ramp of cellular products.  We expect this ramp to accelerate in the coming quarters” concluded Tom Edman.

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.

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.

  1 This 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 condensed statements of operations.
 
                               
  2 Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin measures exclude stock-based compensation expense.  
                               
  3 Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin measures exclude amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, gain on sale of assets, acquisition-related costs, asset impairments,
restructuring and other charges.
 
                               
  4 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), gain on sale of assets, acquisition-
related costs, asset impairments, restructuring 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.
 
                               
  5 Non-GAAP diluted number of shares used in computing non-GAAP earnings per share attributable to stockholders excludes the dilutive effect of convertible debt.  
                               
  6 Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, gain on sale of assets, acquisition-related costs,
asset impairments, restructuring 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.
