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

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.”

"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.
