Press Release

REDMOND, Wash., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- TTM Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq: TTMI), a leading manufacturer of time-critical, technologically
advanced printed circuit boards, today reported results for the quarter ended
April 2, 2001.

First-Quarter Results
The company posted solid revenue growth and profitability in the first
quarter, despite challenging industry conditions. Net sales increased
9 percent to $46.0 million from $42.1 million for the first quarter of 2000.
This increase resulted entirely from organic growth. Gross profit increased
49 percent to $18.3 million, as gross profit margins expanded to 39.8 percent
in the first quarter of 2001, compared to 29.2 percent for the same period in
2000.

Operating income increased 71 percent to $12.6 million for the first
quarter of 2001, compared to $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2000.
Operating margins increased from 17.4 percent in the first quarter of 2000 to
27.3 percent in the first quarter of 2001. Net income was $7.6 million, or
$0.19 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2001, compared to
$2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period in 2000.
Diluted cash earnings per share were $0.23 for the first quarter of 2001,
compared to $0.10 in the year-ago period.

EBITDA increased 53 percent to $15.7 million for the first quarter of
2001, compared to $10.3 million for the same period in 2000. EBITDA margins
expanded from 24.5 percent in the first quarter of 2000 to 34.2 percent in the
first quarter of 2001.

For the first quarter of 2001, quick-turn business as a percentage of
total revenues increased to approximately 38 percent, compared to
approximately 27 percent for the first quarter of 2000. In addition, the
percentage of revenues generated by the networking and high-end computing end
markets expanded from 51 percent in the first quarter of 2000 to 60 percent in
the first quarter of 2001.

"We managed operations very effectively during the first quarter, despite
the widespread slowdown in the electronics industry," said Kent Alder,
President and CEO of TTM Technologies. "We maintained strong margins and
controlled expenses, even as we committed greater resources to sales and
marketing. Our strong balance sheet and cash flow give us financial
flexibility and the ability to invest in our quick-turn capacity and
technological capabilities. As a result, we are well positioned to capitalize
on a recovery in the electronics market."

"New customer acquisition is the major focus of our quick-turn strategy.
In the first quarter, the company continued to increase its customer base,
adding a significant number of new customers," Alder stated. "We also
expanded the total number of salespeople -- including sales management, direct
sales, and sales reps -- from 48 at the end of 2000 to 85 currently, well on
our way to our established objective of doubling our sales force in 2001."

Return on Invested Capital
TTM's return on invested capital (ROIC), based on tax-effected EBITA,
expanded in the first quarter of 2001. The annualized rate of return for the
first quarter of 2001 increased to 23 percent from 16 percent for the year-ago
period.

Outlook
"Despite the sharp slowdown in the electronics industry, the prototype
portion of our quick-turn business remains healthy," stated Alder. "However,
we have experienced a significant slowdown in our volume segment.
Consequently, we expect to fall short of our previously issued full year
guidance of $220 to $224 million in revenues and cash earnings per share of
$0.85 to $0.90 for 2001. Given the deteriorating industry environment
throughout the first quarter and lack of visibility, we expect our second
quarter revenues will be down 25 to 30 percent from first quarter levels.
However, we are unable to provide earnings guidance at this time.
Furthermore, although we are optimistic relative to a rebound in demand in the
second half of the year, we are uncertain about the exact timing of a market
recovery."
