TTM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(Unaudited)
(Dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
TTM Technologies, Inc. (the Company or TTM) is a leading global manufacturer of technology solutions including mission systems, radio frequency (RF) components/RF microwave/microelectronic assemblies, and quick-turn and technologically advanced printed circuit boards (PCB). The Company provides time-to-market and volume production of advanced technology products and offers a one-stop design, engineering, and manufacturing solution to customers. This solution allows the Company to align technology developments with the diverse needs of the Company’s customers and to enable them to reduce the time required to develop new products and bring them to market.
The Company serves a diversified customer base in various markets throughout the world, including aerospace and defense, data center computing, automotive, medical, industrial and instrumentation related products, and networking. The Company’s customers include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), electronic manufacturing services (EMS) providers, original design manufacturers (ODMs), distributors, and government agencies (both domestic and allied foreign governments).
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Due, in part, to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip, the global economy and financial markets have been volatile. As such, the Company has considered information available to it as of the date of issuance of these financial statements and is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to its estimates or judgments, or a revision to the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. The actual results the Company experienced may differ materially and adversely from its estimates. The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal calendar with the fourth quarter ending on the Monday nearest December 31.
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements, to remove various references to concepts statements from the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). These amendments clarify guidance, simplify wording or structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements not yet issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but expects additional disclosures upon adoption.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but expects additional disclosures upon adoption.
8
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the ASC in response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, and align the ASC requirements with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosure requirements, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by the mix of foreign and U.S. income, tax rates in China and Hong Kong, the U.S. federal income tax rate, apportioned state income tax rates, the generation of credits, and deductions available to the Company as well as changes in valuation allowances and certain non-deductible items. No tax benefit was recorded on the losses incurred in certain foreign jurisdictions as a result of corresponding increases in the valuation allowances in these jurisdictions.
During the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was impacted by a net discrete benefit of $
The Company has various foreign subsidiaries formed or acquired to conduct or support its business outside the U.S. The Company expects its earnings attributable to most foreign subsidiaries may be repatriated back to the U.S. and so a deferred tax liability has been recorded for foreign withholding taxes and the estimated federal/state tax impact on any repatriation. For those other companies with earnings currently being reinvested outside of the U.S., no deferred tax liability on undistributed earnings has been recorded.
The Company’s reportable segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and upon which operating results are evaluated by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources.
The Company, including the chief operating decision maker, evaluates segment performance based on reportable segment income, which is operating income before amortization of intangibles. Interest expense and interest income are not presented by segment since they are not included in the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. All inter‑segment transactions have been eliminated.

Interest Rate Swaps
The Company’s business is exposed to risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates on certain SOFR based variable rate debt. Increases in interest rates increase interest expenses relating to the outstanding variable rate borrowings and increase the cost of debt. Fluctuations in interest rates can also lead to significant fluctuations in the fair value of the debt obligations.
On March 23, 2023, the Company entered into a

Commodity Price Risk Management
The Company uses various raw materials in the manufacturing of PCBs. Copper clad laminates (CCLs), a key raw material for the manufacture of PCBs, are made from epoxy resin, glass cloth, and copper foil. The Company only buys a small amount of copper directly. However, copper is a major driver of laminate cost. The Company enters into commodity contracts to hedge copper as a proxy for hedging laminate. As of July 1, 2024, the Company has commodity contracts with a notional quantity of (i)

The Company measures at fair value its financial and non-financial assets by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

The fair value of the derivative instruments was determined using pricing models developed based on the 1-month CME Term SOFR swap rate, foreign currency exchange rates, and other observable market data, including quoted market prices, as appropriate using Level 2 inputs. The values were adjusted to reflect non-performance risk of both the counterparty and the Company, as necessary.
The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices or discounting the debt over its life using current market rates for similar debt as of July 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, which are considered Level 2 inputs.
As of July 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, the Company’s other financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable, and contract liabilities. The carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair value.
The majority of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities, which include goodwill, intangible assets, inventories, and property, plant, and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or are tested at least annually in the case of goodwill) such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, based upon a comparison of the non-financial instrument’s fair value to its carrying value, an impairment is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the fair value, if the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company is subject to various legal matters, which it considers normal for its business activities. While the Company currently believes that the amount of any reasonably possible loss for known matters would not be material to the Company’s financial condition, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in a particular period. The Company has accrued amounts for its loss contingencies which are probable and estimable as of July 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024 and included as a component of other current liabilities. However, these amounts are not material to the consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company.
The Company has and may continue to enter into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, as a condition to obtaining orders for products and services from customers in foreign countries. These agreements are intended to promote investment in the applicable country, and the Company’s obligations under these agreements may be satisfied through activities that do not require the Company to use cash, including transferring technology or providing manufacturing and other consulting support. The obligations under these agreements may also be satisfied through the use of cash for activities such as purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, setting up support centers, research and development investments, acquisitions, and building or leasing facilities for in-country operations. The amount of the offset requirement is determined by contract value awarded and negotiated percentages with customers. As of July 1, 2024, the Company had outstanding offset agreements of approximately $

The Company has agreements with financial institutions to facilitate payments to certain suppliers. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company confirms the validity of each supplier invoice to the respective financial institution upon receipt. The supplier receives payment from the financial institution, and the Company pays the financial institution based on the terms negotiated, which generally range from

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Report) contains forward-looking statements regarding future events or our future financial and operational performance. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding markets for our products; trends in net sales, gross profits, and estimated expense levels; liquidity and anticipated cash needs and availability; and any statement that contains the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “forecast,” “foresee,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “seek,” “target,” “intend,” “goal,” and other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements included in this report reflect our current expectations and beliefs, and we do not undertake publicly to update or revise these statements, even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed in this report or future quarterly reports to stockholders, press releases, or company statements will not be realized. In addition, the inclusion of any statement in this report does not constitute an admission by us that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material. Furthermore, we wish to caution and advise readers that these statements are based on assumptions that may not materialize and may involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual events or performance to differ materially from those contained or implied in these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the risks identified under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2024, as updated by our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and described elsewhere in this Report. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated condensed financial statements and the related notes and the other financial information included in this Report, as well as the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2024, filed with the SEC.
We are a leading global manufacturer of technology solutions including mission systems, radio frequency (RF) components/RF microwave/microelectronic assemblies, and quick-turn and technologically advanced printed circuit boards (PCB). We focus on providing time-to-market and volume production of advanced technology products and offer a one-stop design, engineering, and manufacturing solution to our customers. This solution allows us to align technology development with the diverse needs of our customers and to enable them to reduce the time required to develop new products and bring them to market. We serve a diversified customer base consisting of approximately 1,500 customers in various markets throughout the world, including aerospace and defense, data center computing, automotive, medical, industrial and instrumentation, and networking. Our customers include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), electronic manufacturing services (EMS) providers, original design manufacturers (ODMs), distributors, and government agencies (both domestic and allied foreign governments).
On August 1, 2024, we entered into a First Amendment to our Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2023, by and among us, as Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the several lenders from time to time parties thereto, pursuant to which we closed a $346.5 million senior secured term loan (New Term Loan Facility) that bears interest at a floating rate of 1-month Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus an applicable margin of 2.25%, 50 basis points lower than our previous Term Loan issued in May 2023 (Term Loan Facility). The New Term Loan Facility amends and restates our previous Term Loan Facility. The New Term Loan Facility is issued at par, maintains the same maturity of May 30, 2030 as the previous Term Loan Facility, and the majority is a cashless rollover from the previous Term Loan Facility. We estimate we will incur fees and expenses of approximately $1.0 million related to the refinancing activity. The new financing is expected to generate annual interest savings of approximately $1.7 million.
On November 1, 2023, we announced our selection of Syracuse, New York as the location for a new proposed advanced technology PCB manufacturing facility. We expect that the proposed facility will bring advanced technology capability for our domestic high-volume production of ultra-high-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs in support of national security requirements. We believe the planned investment aligns with New York State’s continuing focus on the region as a premier technology hub for U.S. electronics and the recent selection of Buffalo-Rochester-Syracuse (BRS) for the Federal Tech Hub designation. The project reflects our support for cultivating a stronger microelectronics ecosystem in New York and across the U.S. Aerospace and Defense industrial base. We have broken ground on the 24-acre property adjacent to our existing facility in Syracuse for the campus expansion and the site for the new facility, and we expect initial low rate production within 18 to 24 months. Phase one of the proposed project, including capital for campus-wide improvements is estimated to be $100.0 million to $130.0 million, and is anticipated to run through 2026. Our planned capital investment commitments will be determined after finalizing terms with various stakeholders.

While our customers include both OEMs and EMS providers, we measure customers based on OEM companies, as they are the ultimate end customers. Sales to our ten largest customers collectively accounted for 54% of our net sales for both the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2024. Sales to our ten largest customers collectively accounted for 50% and 49% of our net sales for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2023, respectively. We sell to OEMs both directly and indirectly through EMS providers.
The percentage of our net sales attributable to each of the principal end markets we served was as follows:

We derive revenues primarily from the sale of PCBs, engineered systems using customer-supplied engineering and design plans as well as our long-term contracts related to the design and manufacture of highly sophisticated intelligence, surveillance, and communications solutions, and RF and microwave/microelectronics components, assemblies, and subsystems. Orders for products generally correspond to the production schedules of our customers and are supported with firm purchase orders. Our customers have continuous control of the work in progress and finished goods throughout the PCB and engineered systems manufacturing process, as these are built to customer specifications with no alternative use, and there is an enforceable right of payment for work performed to date. As a result, we recognize revenue progressively over time based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. We recognize revenue based on a cost method as it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which takes place as we incur costs. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
We also manufacture certain components, assemblies, subsystems, and completed systems which service our RF and Specialty Components (RF&S Components) customers and certain aerospace and defense customers. We recognize revenue at a point in time upon transfer of control of the products to our customer. Point in time recognition was determined as our customers do not simultaneously receive or consume the benefits provided by our performance and the asset being manufactured has alternative uses to us.
Net sales consist of gross sales less an allowance for returns, which typically have been approximately 2% of gross sales. We provide our customers a limited right of return for defective PCBs including components, subsystems, and assemblies. We record an estimate for sales returns and allowances at the time of sale based on historical results and anticipated returns.
Cost of goods sold consists of materials, labor, outside services, and overhead expenses incurred in the manufacture and testing of our products. Shipping and handling fees and related freight costs and supplies associated with shipping products are also included as a component of cost of goods sold. Many factors affect our gross margin, including capacity utilization, product mix, production volume, supply chain issues, and yield.
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, labor related benefits, and commissions paid to our internal sales force, independent sales representatives, and our sales support staff, as well as costs associated with marketing materials and trade shows.
General and administrative costs primarily include the salaries for executive, finance, accounting, information technology, and human resources personnel, as well as expenses for accounting and legal assistance, incentive compensation expense, and gains or losses on the sale or disposal of property, plant, and equipment.
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and labor related benefits paid to our research and development staff, as well as material costs.
Our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

The following discussion and analysis is for the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2024, compared to the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2023, unless otherwise stated.
Total net sales increased $58.6 million, or 10.7%, to $605.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $546.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in total net sales primarily resulted from an increase in net sales for the PCB reportable segment of $59.6 million, or 11.1%, to $596.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $536.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The primary driver of this increase was demand growth in our aerospace and defense and data center computing end markets, partially offset by demand weakness in our automotive, networking, and medical, industrial, and instrumentation end markets. Net sales for the RF&S Components reportable segment decreased $1.0 million, or 9.5%, to $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, which was primarily due to lower demand in our networking end market.
Total net sales increased $84.4 million or 7.7%, to $1,175.3 million for the first two quarters of 2024 from $1,090.9 million for the first two quarters of 2023. This increase in total net sales primarily resulted from an increase in net sales for the PCB reportable segment of $87.3 million, or 8.2%, to $1,157.9 million for the first two quarters of 2024 from $1,070.6 million for the first two quarters of 2023. The primary driver of this increase was demand growth in our aerospace and defense and data center computing end markets, partially offset by demand weakness in our networking, automotive, and medical, industrial, and instrumentation end markets, and by the sale of our Shanghai backplane business in the first quarter of 2023, which had the effect of reducing $8.4 million of net sales when comparing the first two quarters of 2024 to the first two quarters of 2023. Net sales for the RF&S Components reportable segment decreased $3.0 million, or 14.8%, to $17.3 million for the first two quarters of 2024 from $20.3 million for the first two quarters of 2023, which was primarily due to lower demand in our networking end market.
Overall gross margin increased to 19.4% for the second quarter of 2024 from 18.0% for the second quarter of 2023. Gross margin for the PCB reportable segment increased to 20.0% for the second quarter of 2024 from 18.6% for the second quarter of 2023. This increase was due to higher sales volume, particularly in the data center computing end market, and improved operational execution. Gross margin for the RF&S Components reportable segment decreased to 49.8% for the second quarter of 2024 from 57.4% for the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower sales.
23
Overall gross margin increased to 18.8% for the first two quarters of 2024 from 16.9% for the first two quarters of 2023. Gross margin for the PCB reportable segment increased to 19.7% for the first two quarters of 2024 from 17.6% for the first two quarters of 2023. This increase was due to higher sales volume, particularly in the data center computing end market, and improved operational execution. Gross margin for the RF&S Components reportable segment decreased to 48.7% for the first two quarters of 2024 from 53.5% for the first two quarters of 2023, primarily due to lower sales.
An important factor affecting gross margins is capacity utilization, which is measured by the actual production as a percentage of maximum capacity. This measure is particularly important in our high-volume PCB facilities in Asia, as a significant portion of our operating costs are fixed in nature. North America utilization figures are not as meaningful as Asia because bottlenecks in these high mix low volume facilities tend to occur in areas outside of plating, which is the core process that we use for calculating utilization rates. Capacity utilization for the second quarter of 2024 in our Asia and North America PCB facilities was 64% and 39%, respectively, compared to 46% and 38%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2023. Capacity utilization for the first two quarters of 2024 in our Asia and North America PCB facilities was 58% and 38%, respectively, compared to 49% and 38%, respectively, for the first two quarters of 2023. The increase in capacity utilization in our Asia PCB facilities was due to continued strong data center demand.
Selling and marketing expenses increased $1.6 million to $19.8 million, or 3.3% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2024 from $18.2 million, or 3.3% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to increases in labor costs and commissions. The selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales was flat as a result of higher net sales offset by increased expenses.
Selling and marketing expenses increased $0.6 million to $40.1 million, or 3.4% of net sales, for the first two quarters of 2024 from $39.5 million, or 3.6% of net sales, for the first two quarters of 2023. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to increases in certain personnel costs and stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in commissions. The selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased as a result of higher net sales.
General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million to $38.6 million, or 6.4% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2024 from $37.8 million, or 6.9% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in consulting and legal expenses, bad debt, labor costs, and the write down of our Hong Kong building of $6.1 million, partially offset by gains on the sale of assets primarily related to the sale of two buildings vacated by the closure of our Anaheim and Santa Clara plants of $14.4 million. The general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased as a result of higher net sales.
General and administrative expenses increased $9.4 million to $82.3 million, or 7.0% of net sales, for the first two quarters of 2024 from $72.9 million, or 6.7% of net sales, for the first two quarters of 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in labor costs, consulting and legal expenses, incentive compensation, bad debt, stock-based compensation, and the write down of our Hong Kong building of $6.1 million, partially offset by gains on the sale of assets primarily related to the sale of two buildings vacated by the closure of our Anaheim and Santa Clara plants of $14.4 million.
Research and development expenses increased $2.1 million to $8.5 million, or 1.4% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2024 from $6.4 million, or 1.2% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increases in labor costs and research and development projects.
Research and development expenses increased $2.4 million to $15.9 million, or 1.4% of net sales, for the first two quarters of 2024 from $13.5 million, or 1.2% of net sales, for the first two quarters of 2023. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increases in labor costs and research and development projects.
Total other expense, net increased $0.5 million to $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $2.8 million decrease in foreign currency gain mainly resulting from higher monetary liabilities than assets in Renminbi (RMB) in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 and an increase in interest expense of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $1.5 million and the absence of $1.2 million of loss on extinguishment in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023. We utilize the RMB at our China facilities for employee-related expenses, RMB denominated purchases, and other costs of running our operations in China.
Total other expense, net decreased $6.8 million to $11.5 million for the first two quarters of 2024 from $18.3 million for the first two quarters of 2023, primarily due to an increase in interest income of $3.3 million and an increase in foreign currency gains of $2.9 million resulting from the weakening RMB in the first two quarters of 2024 compared to the first two quarters of 2023.
24
Income tax expense decreased $2.4 million to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to a windfall tax benefit of the stock-based compensation releases and finalization of China and Canada corporate income tax returns which was partially offset by the absence in the second quarter of 2024 of the release of uncertain tax position benefits that existed in the second quarter of 2023.
Income tax expense increased $9.1 million to $7.8 million for the first two quarters of 2024 from an income tax benefit of $1.3 million for the first two quarters of 2023. The increase in income tax expense for the first two quarters of 2024 was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income for the first two quarters of 2024, the absence in the first two quarters of 2024 of the release of uncertain tax position benefits that existed in the first two quarters of 2023, and the approval of our renewal application for High and New Technology Enterprise status for two of our manufacturing subsidiaries in China (including the impact on the respective subsidiaries’ deferred tax amounts), but partially offset by a windfall tax benefit of the stock-based compensation releases and finalization of China and Canada corporate income tax returns.
Our effective tax rate is primarily impacted by the mix of foreign and U.S. income, tax rates in China and Hong Kong, the U.S. federal income tax rate, apportioned state income tax rates, the generation of credits and deductions available to us as well as changes in valuation allowances and certain non-deductible items. We had a net deferred income tax liability of $42.9 million and $54.4 million as of July 1, 2024 and July 3, 2023, respectively.
Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations, the issuance of debt, and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our principal uses of cash have been to finance capital expenditures, finance acquisitions, fund working capital requirements, repay debt obligations, and repurchase common stock. We anticipate that financing capital expenditures, financing acquisitions, funding working capital requirements, servicing debt, and repurchasing common stock will be the principal demands on our cash in the future.
Cash flow provided by operating activities during the first two quarters of 2024 was $85.8 million as compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $81.0 million in the same period in 2023. The increase in cash flow was primarily due to an increase in net income of $35.8 million partially offset by an increased investment in working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities during the first two quarters of 2024 was $52.5 million, primarily resulting from the use of $88.8 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment and other assets. This is partially offset by the receipt of $29.6 million of proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment and other assets primarily related to the sale of two buildings vacated by the closure of our Anaheim and Santa Clara plants and $6.7 million of proceeds from the sale of property associated with our Shanghai E‑MS subsidiary. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $12.3 million for the first two quarters of 2023, primarily reflecting the use of $80.5 million for purchases of property, plant, and equipment and other assets, partially offset by the receipt of $61.8 million of proceeds from the sale of property associated with our Shanghai E‑MS subsidiary and $6.0 million of proceeds from the sale of our Shanghai Backplane Assembly subsidiary, net of cash disposed.
Net cash used in financing activities during the first two quarters of 2024 was $37.1 million reflecting the use of $34.5 million for repurchases of common stock and $2.6 million for the repayment of long-term debt borrowings. Net cash used in financing activities during the first two quarters of 2023 was $72.4 million, primarily reflecting repayment of long-term debt borrowings of $290.7 million, refund of customer deposits of $7.5 million, payment of debt issuance costs of $5.5 million, and payment of original issue discount of $3.5 million, partially offset by the receipt of proceeds from long-term debt borrowing of $234.8 million.
As of July 1, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $446.2 million, of which $174.6 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, primarily in China. Should we choose to remit cash to the United States from our foreign locations, we may incur tax obligations which would reduce the amount of cash ultimately available to the United States. However, we believe there would be no material tax consequences not previously accrued for the repatriation of this cash.
Our total 2024 capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $190.0 million to $210.0 million.
On May 3, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (2023 Repurchase Program) allowing us to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock from time to time through May 3, 2025. During the quarter ended July 1, 2024, we repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of $25.1 million (including commissions) and during the two quarters ended July 1, 2024, we repurchased 2.0 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of $34.5 million (including commissions). As of July 1, 2024, the remaining amount in value available to be repurchased under the 2023 Repurchase Program was approximately $41.1 million.
25
As of July 1, 2024, we had $916.1 million of outstanding debt, net of discount and debt issuance costs, composed of $496.3 million of Senior Notes due March 2029, $339.8 million under the Term Loan Facility, and $80.0 million under the Asia Asset-Based Lending Credit Agreement (Asia ABL).
Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Notes due March 2029 and Term Loan Facility, we are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, corporate transactions, investments, dispositions, and restricted payments. Under the U.S. Asset-Based Lending Credit Agreement (U.S. ABL) and Asia ABL (collectively, the ABL Revolving Loans), we are also subject to various financial covenants, including leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. As of July 1, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Senior Notes due March 2029, Term Loan Facility, and ABL Revolving Loans.
Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash generated from operations, cash on hand, and cash from the issuance of term and revolving debt will be adequate to meet our currently anticipated capital expenditure, debt service, and working capital needs for the next 12 months. Additional information regarding our indebtedness, including information about the credit available under our debt facilities, interest rates, and other key terms of our outstanding indebtedness, is included in Part I, Item 1, Note 8, Long‑term Debt and Letters of Credit, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Report.
We have agreements with financial institutions to facilitate payments to certain suppliers. Under the terms of the agreements, we confirm the validity of each supplier invoice to the respective financial institution upon receipt. The supplier receives payment from the financial institution, and we pay the financial institution based on the terms negotiated, which generally range from 160 days to 360 days. Liabilities associated with these agreements are recorded in accounts payable on the consolidated condensed balance sheets and amounted to $5.1 million and $18.8 million as of July 1, 2024 and January 1, 2024, respectively.
As part of our on-going operations, we enter into contractual arrangements that obligate us to make future cash payments. These obligations impact our liquidity and capital resource needs. Our estimated future obligations consist of long-term debt obligations, interest on debt obligations, derivative liabilities, purchase obligations, and leases. As of July 1, 2024, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business since January 1, 2024 to our contractual obligations and commitments and the related cash requirements.
We have and may continue to enter into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, as a condition to obtaining orders for our products and services from customers in foreign countries. As of July 1, 2024, we had outstanding offset agreements of approximately $28.0 million, some of which extend through 2028. Offset programs usually extend over several years and in some cases provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with contract requirements. To date, we have not been obligated to pay any such penalties. For details about our offset agreements, see Part I, Item 1, Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Report.
We tend to experience modest seasonal softness in the first and third quarters due to holidays and vacation periods in China and North America, respectively, which limit production leading to stronger revenue levels in the second and fourth quarters.
For a description of recently adopted and issued accounting standards, including the respective dates of adoption and the expected effects on our results of operations and financial condition, see Part I, Item 1, Note 1, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Report.
26
In the normal course of business operations, we are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. We address these risks through controlled risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments to economically hedge or reduce these exposures. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
We have not experienced any losses to date on any derivative financial instruments due to counterparty credit risk.
To ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of our commodity price hedge positions, we continually monitor our commodity hedge price positions, both on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with their underlying commodity price exposures, from an accounting and economic perspective. However, given the inherent limitations of forecasting and the anticipatory nature of the exposures intended to be hedged, we cannot be assured that such programs will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in commodity prices. In addition, the timing of the accounting for recognition of gains and losses related to mark-to-market instruments for any given period may not coincide with the timing of gains and losses related to the underlying economic exposures and, therefore, may adversely affect our consolidated operating results and financial position.
For additional information regarding our interest rate swap arrangement and commodity contracts, see Part I, Item 1, Note 12, Financial Instruments, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Report).
Our business is exposed to risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. Our interest expense is more sensitive to fluctuations in the general level of Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) interest rates than to changes in rates in other markets. Increases in interest rates would increase interest expense relating to our outstanding variable rate borrowings and increase the cost of debt. Fluctuations in interest rates can also lead to significant fluctuations in the fair value of our debt obligations.
On March 23, 2023, we entered into a four-year pay-fixed, receive-floating (1-month Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Term SOFR), interest rate swap arrangement with a notional amount of $250.0 million for the period beginning April 1, 2023 and ending on April 1, 2027. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, we pay a fixed rate of 3.49% against a portion of our Term SOFR-based debt and receive floating 1-month CME Term SOFR during the swap period.
See Liquidity and Capital Resources and Long-term Debt and Letters of Credit appearing in Part I, Item 2 of this Report for further discussion of our financing facilities and capital structure. As of July 1, 2024, approximately 80.9% of our total debt was based on fixed rates. Based on our borrowings as of July 1, 2024, an assumed 100 basis point change in variable rates would cause our annual interest cost to change by $1.8 million.
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies, as well as the effects of translating amounts denominated in a foreign currency to the U.S. Dollar as a normal part of our financial reporting process. Most of our foreign operations have the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency, however, one of our China facilities utilizes the Renminbi (RMB), which results in recognition of translation adjustments included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Our foreign exchange exposure results primarily from employee-related and other costs of running our operations in foreign countries, foreign currency denominated purchases, and translation of balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currencies. We do not engage in hedging to manage this foreign currency risk.
We are exposed to certain commodity risks associated with prices for various raw materials, particularly copper, which may negatively affect our profitability. Copper clad laminates (CCLs), a key raw material for the manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCBs), are made from epoxy resin, glass cloth, and copper foil. We only buy a small amount of copper directly. However, copper is a major driver of laminate cost. We are hedging copper as a proxy for hedging laminate. We will continue to evaluate our commodity risks and may utilize commodity forward purchase contracts more in the future.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of July 1, 2024 such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We continue to expand our implementation of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system on a worldwide basis, which is expected to improve the efficiency of the financial reporting and related transaction processes. We have completed the implementation at certain locations and as a result, we made changes to our processes and procedures which, in turn, resulted in changes to our internal control over financial reporting, including the implementation of additional controls. We are in the process of rolling out the ERP system to our remaining locations to standardize the ERP system.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended July 1, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
28
From time to time, we may become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. There can be no assurance that we will prevail in any such litigation. We believe that the amount of any reasonably possible or probable loss for known matters would not be material to our financial statements; however, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in a particular period.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2024.
